Service Above Self
Rotarian Marty Herder, and his two daughters, ring the bell for the Salvation Army. Members of the Chandler Horizon Rotary club rang the bell on December 13th and will ring the bell on December 20th. In a struggling economy, the Salvation Army is challenged more than ever to bring Christmas to the increasing number of families in the Valley who are in need this year. Please contribute if you can, where you see bell ringers.
