With a bell in each hand, volunteer Helen Wrobbel was all about attracting as much attention as possible during her time at the Publix Supermarket in Punta Gorda Dec. 6. The Salvation Army volunteer, who was working hours on behalf of the Punta Gorda Historical Society, said, "People in the store said, 'You're really ringing them (bells).' I want to be loud. It's fun, and I'm glad I can help."
