On paper, the personal messages were as varied as those who gave to this year’s Bellringer Fund. In essence, though, the overall message rang the same throughout North Kitsap: Our less fortunate neighbors are in need, what can we do to help?
Bellringer surpassed the $35,000 mark this week, brushing aside its lofty goal of $30,000 once again and proving that this is truly a community that cares.
We’re not sure if this has been done before so here goes.
