ONE DAY LEFT IN KETTLE DRIVE

$10,000 Needed To Hit

Salvation Army’s Goal

ONEONTA – With one day left in the Salvation Army’s annual kettle drive, donors have cut the distance to the $60,000 goal to $94 short of $10,000, Maj. Sharon Harford, commander of the Oneonta post, reported a few minutes ago.

“People have been very generous,” said the Salvation Army officer.

Thursday, Major Harford reported with some concern that only $43,000 of the goal had been collected.  By this evening, donors had raised that total $49,006, she said.

Bellringers will be manning the kettles for a final day Saturday – Christmas Eve – at Walmart and Southside Mall in Oneonta, and at Price Choppers in Oneonta, Cooperstown and Sidney.  Or call contact Major Harford at 432-5960 to donate.
