ALTON – Salvation Army Madison County Corps Advisory Council Chairman Kevin Botterbush announced today that Dr. John and Barb Hoelscher will chair this year’s Tree of Lights. The kettle campaign will kick off at the Alton Rotary Tree Lighting at 6 p.m. on November 18 at Lincoln Douglas Square in Alton. The Salvation Army will serve cookies and hot chocolate during this festive event. “The Salvation Army has been a steady, loving presence in our community for so very long, we are honored to help further their mission with this campaign,” Barb Hoelscher said. “They work so hard to give a hand up to folks experiencing rough times in their lives, while reminding all of us that God is always there to help, too. I can't think of a more worthy cause than helping your neighbor through a time of great need.” The campaign begins November 25 and runs thru December 24. Hours of ringing are from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. There will be no bell ringing on Sundays.
