MARSHALL Shoppers headed in and out of the Marshall Hy-Vee last week could hear the familiar ringing of bells by the red Salvation Army kettle by the door.

Deloris Richards and myself, Dennis Ozmun, are the coordinators for the Salvation Army in Lyon County. 2020 was a year like we have never experienced before. Our bell ringers were only about 40% of what we normally had, however, Lyon County stepped up to the plate and we had our best year ever with $40,358. About 88% of that stays right here in Lyon County. Thank you!
We take this opportunity to thank all of you that made our year such a success, but I personally need to thank four special people. I was quite sick for nearly all of this year’s campaign, and Deloris Richards and her husband Dick really stepped up and pulled her share and much of mine. I thank my wife Judy, who took care of most all of the scheduling. I also thank our Sheriff Eric Wallen, who on his day off placed the kettles in various business for me. Thank you!
