<div><strong>Help Support Praise Ringers Hand Bells!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are the Praise Ringers at First United Methodist Church, Mechanicsburg, PA
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Mission</strong>: “Sharing joy of music through handbell artistry”
</div>
<div><strong>About Us</strong>:
</div>
<div> - We are a handbell group who have been ringing since 1987
</div>
<div>- We have a full choir of 5 bell octaves and 4 chime octaves
</div>
<div>- We enjoy playing for our church community and the greater    
</div>
<div>    community through various venues and events.
</div>
<div>- We have been invited to attend our fifth International Handbell  
</div>
<div>   Symposium in Aberdeen, Scotland (August 2026). This is an honor as
</div>
<div>   only a few handbell choirs from the USA attend. We have previously  
</div>
<div>   attended four international handbell festivals (Orlando, Florida; 
</div>
<div>   Liverpool, England; Vancouver, Canada; Nashville, Tennessee)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>About our Fundraising Mission Goal:</strong>
</div>
<div>You’ve been invited to support our fundraising goal to transport the 6 bell cases, 3 hand chime cases, mallets, dowels, music, and underwrite additional fees associated with participation in the symposium.
</div>
<div>The International Handbell Symposium provides our choir with the opportunity to learn new techniques from international directors which we are then able to share with other handbell ringers and concert attendees back home in Pennsylvania.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>To make this fun –</strong>
</div>
<div>We appreciate donations of any size but for every hundred dollars reached toward our fundraising goal we will release facts or trivia about the hand bells!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>AND if you donate to support and mention the name of your favorite Praise Ringer we will release fun trivia specifically about your handbell ringer!
</div>
<div>Donate $1,000.00 and we will release hand bell trivia, plus we will send you a personalized message from Scotland!
</div>
