Donations Lagging

BOONE, Iowa---The Christmas Campaign for the Salvation Army in Boone is only about 65% of the Christmas Goal of $150,000. Envoy Tim North said earlier the goal provides funding for programming all year long. Last year, weather curtailed contributions at the Red Kettles. So far, the collections are slightly ahead of last year. Red Kettles will be out until Friday afternoon at 5:00. Mail in contributions can be sent until mid-January to Salvation Army, P.O. Box 307, Boone, Iowa 50036. North says if you send a donation, mark it for the 2010 Christmas Campaign.
