POULSBO — With the end of 2006 in sight, Bellringer continues closing in on its $30,000 goal.
On the day after Christmas, the fund had collected another $2,255, which adds to the many successful days it has already enjoyed.
Several small donations helped chip away at the few thousand dollars separating the fund from meeting its goal.
Mike Brooks, owner of Mike’s Car Wash in Poulsbo, is once again donating a portion of his proceeds during this month to give the fund a boost.
Even with that much-appreciated generosity, Bellringer still has more to go before it reaches its $30,000 goal. But it’s almost there.
Donations to the fund can be dropped off at the Kitsap Bank branch in Poulsbo Village or the North Kitsap Herald office, 18887 Highway 305, Suite 700. Donations can also be mailed to the Poulsbo Noon Lions Bellringer Fund, P.O. Box 1244, Poulsbo, WA 98370. The help number of the fund is (360) 697-6087.
