To the editor:
A couple of weeks ago, Raymonda Parchment wrote a wonderful article on the St. Norbert’s
Community Handbell Choir. I am a 15-year member of the bell choir and enjoy playing. In the
article, Raymonda stated that the bells and chimes will be headed to Pennsylvania for repairs
and refurbishment. We have been raising funds to cover this cost. We need to raise $3,000 and
are currently two-thirds of the way there. We still need to raise $1,000. If you have heard the
bells at the many locations we have played, I hope you enjoyed the performance.
If you are interested in helping us fund this work there are a couple of ways you can participate.
The Hardwick Kiwanis is donating their April bottle collection proceeds for this purpose. You
can drop bottles off at three locations in town. M&M Beverage on Route 14 south, the
Hardwick Kwik Stop & Deli at the corner of Route 15 and 14 north, and D&L Beverage Deli in
East Hardwick. You will find blue boxes with the Kiwanis emblem at each location. Or, you can
donate by sending a check to Mary Queen of All Saints Parish (MQAS) at PO Box 496, Hardwick,
VT 05843 and write in the memo “Handbell Choir.”
