(l to r) Bobbi Jo Ward, Sandi Beck and Teri Shepherd formed an unbeatable trio during one session ringing bells for the Salvation Army in Peoria.

In Peoria last Friday, 15 members of the RE/MAX Traders Unlimited office in Peoria pitched in to help the local Salvation Army collect money during REALTOR® Ring Day.

Volunteers took turns during one-hour shifts and rang bells from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the HyVee in Sheridan Village in Peoria. Participants included: Sheryl Grider Whitehurst, Bev Hayes, Sue Neihouser, Karen Sitler, Patty O’Bryan, Janet Jordan, Misty Phelps, Bill Molleck, Melissa Williams, Jane Bourscheidt, Kindra Bruninga, Doug Tabor, Bobbi Jo Ward, Sandi Beck and Teri Shepherd.

It’s the first year the RE/MAX Traders Unlimited office has organized a volunteer effort like this for the Salvation Army.
