Red Kettle Collection - December, 2023

 Our Annual Red Kettle Collection for the Salvation Army


Each year we have a day where we volunteer to staff a Red Kettle
collection for the Salvation Army at the KROC Center in Camden.

We do this at the Acme in Haddonfield. We form teams to staff the Red Kettle in 1 hour sessions. The volunteers always have a lot of fun seeing their friends and collecting for a very good cause. This year we thank:
Bill Brown
Jay Cokos
Tom Diemer
Bill Hoffman
Roger Jacobs
Chuck Kanupke
Al Schmidt
Dave Tarditi




This year had a an unexpected suprise. We were missing the Red Kettle!

Our ever resourceful team called our Salvation Army contact Dawn Garlic and she arraged a special delivery of a Red Kettle for us. In the meantime our team used a "Red Bag" to collect the money. 

Nice job guys and thank you Dawn.

On the previous day, our 65 Club members brought unwrapped gifts, toys, toiletries, etc to our annual Christmas Holiday Luncheon at Tavistock Country Club and we delivered them to the wonderful volunteers at the Salvation Army's Ray & Joan Kroc Center in Camden, NJ.

Delivered Gifts to Salvation Army Folloing Our Holiday Party


 

Delivered the generous gifts collected at the 65 Club Christmas Holiday Luncheon at Tavistock 12/12/23 to the Salvation Army Kroc Center in Camden. Their time frame was limited so no time for us to display individual packages around the tree as per last year.  
Most appreciated by the staff, who immediately went to work to add to their gift displays. Good effort 65’ers
!
Al & Roger.
