Friends of Capital City Ringers

As you may know, Capital City Ringers, Inc. is a non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) status and is funded primarily by donations from generous individuals like you. In order to continue our efforts to advance the art of handbell ringing and to bring the joy of handbell music to our audiences, we have established a new “Friends of Capital City Ringers” program. The expense of owning and maintaining six octaves of handbells and six octaves of handchimes, music, percussion equipment, lights, tables, etc., is substantial. In addition, we incur travel expenses as we bring our music to audiences near and far. We would like to enhance our ability to bring handbell music to the extended community with the addition of several costly items.

Items on our acquisition list include:

7^thOctave of bells - ~~C2: $3840~~ (Thank you!); C#2: $4030; D2: $3775; D#2: $3470; E2: $3085;
                                    F2: $2690; F#2: $2440   Total: $19, 490
