As part of our ongoing Caring is Good campaign, we would like to invite you to share in a special tribute to those you love but -- for whatever reason -- can't be with during this special time of year.

On the Winter Solstice at 5 PM, we'll quietly gather under the lights on the green. For one full minute we'll in unison ring our bells bearing the names of those we're missing. You can participate for anyone or anything you love -- a person, pet, special time in your life, even a place. For example, Gina will be ringing for her Grandma, Lida Belle.

We have 48 little silver bells that have a soft, charming tone. We also have paint pens designed for writing on metal. You can write your beloved's name on the bell or, if you wish, we'll try to do that for you. If you'd rather, your bell needn't bear a name at all.

Folks of all ages are invited to participate. First come, first served. When the bells are gone, they're gone. They will be yours to keep.

To join us, please email us through FPF, comment on our Facebook post, send a message via Facebook Messenger, email wellslibraryvt@gmail.com or get in touch through our website at www.WellsVillageLibrary.com.
