Hear the sledges with the bells—
                 Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
        How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
           In the icy air of night!
        While the stars that oversprinkle
        All the heavens, seem to twinkle
           With a crystalline delight;
         Keeping time, time, time,
         In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinabulation that so musically wells
       From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
               Bells, bells, bells—
  From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

             -Excerpt from Edgar Allen Poe's The Bells

Us weekday personalities here at WQMX are enthused to volunteer our time today ringing the bell for the Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign! The donations collected through this charitable seasonal initiative support the Salvation Army's programs, providing essential services such as food assistance, shelter, clothing, and community programs for those in need. We'll be set up right near our station here at Acme number one, 1835 West Market Street in Akron. Rubber City Radio Group staff will be there with a smile throughout the day, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.

Scott and Sarah are set to kick it off from 10-11, and I'll be there from noon-1! You can also catch up with Ben McKee from 1-2, Cherise from 3-4, and Eric Matthews from 4-5. Whether it's fifty cents or fifty dollars, we'd love to have you come out and help fill that kettle up to support this awesome giving drive! The impact it brings to so many in need this holiday season and beyond is boundless, and I'm proud to participate.
