Crystal Lake Kiwanis Club members rang bells for the Salvation Army red kettle campaign at K-Mart today.

Here club President Mike Splitt, head of In-Sync Systems, mans the kettle as a young woman makes a donation.

My turn was from noon until 1.

It was such a lazy day, so moist and warm.

Splitt certainly selected a good day for us to stand outdoors.

I watched what I think was a hawk sit on one of the extremely high street lights on Route 14 in front of Panera’s for probably 45 minutes. Right before Splitt relieved me, it flew away or you would see a picture of it here.

If you would like to be a bell ringer, call the Salvation Army at 815-459-2769. The money raised is spent in McHenry County, according to a card I was given.
