Singing Christmas Carols for the Salvation Army
Elgin Walmart on Randall Rd for the Elgin Salvation Army Dec 4th 2010
Villa Park Walmart for the Oak Brook Terrace Salvation Army Nov 26th 2010
Dec 4th We sang at the Elgin Walmart on Randall Rd for the Elgin IL. Salvation Army. Cindy France and  (L to R) Kayleen, Rebecka, and Micah sang with us  for  awhile. Cindy was not in this picture because she was kind enough to be taking it (Thank you Cindy)
We sang Christmas Carols at the Villa Park IL Walmart Nov 26th 2010 for the Oak Brook Terrace Salvation Army
Though it is cold on our fingers (Cece plays bass with gloves on and I have a thin pair of cotton gloves that I cut some of the fingers off of) we always enjoy doing Christmas Carols outside for the Salvation Army and a lot of the shoppers seem to really enjoy it. We often have one or more people that will stop and sing with us for awhile. It is the one time of the year that we have a perfectly good excuse to go out on the street corners and sing about Jesus. I think that we ought to take advantage of it.
Thank You Jesus!!!!!!!

    A note from Bruce:  I am writing to you on behalf of RESCUE A NURSE, a group seeking to raise money for Debra, a nurse needing cervical disc surgery. Due to years of work as a nurse, Debra suffers from severe degeneration and stenosis in the C 5-6-7 discs in her neck.  She lives with constant pain, leg and arm numbness, and dizziness when driving her car.  Specialist have told her that inflammation from the damaged discs could soon affect her spinal cord and spinal fluid, taking away her mobility.  Specialists have also told her that the only way to get relief and save her mobility is cervical disc replacement.
Several years ago, because of her disabling neck symptoms, Debra had to leave her hospital employment and lost her health insurance.  Due to medical bills, she had to sell her home.  A significant part of her take-home pay goes to treat her neck condition.
In recent years, Debra earned a Master of Public Health degree.  It is her goal, God-willing, to undergo surgery, then to return to a career in public health.
