2011 Festival & Young Ringers Conferences

Hey, We Did it! It was Great!


(Practicing in the Arena!)

And if you were not there, we missed you!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~


Thanks to our Festival Conference Director Debbie Rice and Young Ringers Festival Director Ron Bellamy for their tremendous effort in pulling together the combined talents of over 500 ringers at the two events! Both events were very successful, entertaining, educational and fulfilling!

And, without question, thanks to all the Area 2 Board Members, Staff, Volunteers, Educators and Clinicians for all the work they contributed in making this year's events such a success.

Do We Make a Difference? You Bet We Do!


Sometime, after spending so much of our personal time, effort and yes – money, we wonder whether the work we have done has had any impact at all. Certainly, that is one factor that causes each of us to hesitate when asked to contribute to Area 2 Board positions and activities. But if you think that way, that there is little return for the effort, that no one really cares, then we challenge you to think again.

For the past five years, Area 2 has been sponsoring efforts to make use of handchimes in Romania. This past summer, members of Area 2 re-visited Romania and this past Christmas season, we were rewarded with a video of the choir at the Brad Christian Center practicing with the chimes. You can see this video clip by clicking on this link, And the next time you are called on to help, think about this and say "Yes”. Believe us, it is all worth it!
