Music Bells..Music Bells...Music all the Way!!

Hello everyone!! There are only 12 days until Christmas and I hope everyone is nearing the end of their Christmas shopping or maybe you are finished already! I was done with my Christmas shopping two weeks ago and that is a first EVER for me and I supported local artisans/craftsmen/"mom and pop" shops so I am pretty proud of myself this year!

Just a friendly reminder that Valley Rockers 2013 calendars are still available for sale, although they are starting to sell quickly. They make great Christmas gifts and everyone needs a calendar, right?! Calendars are only $10. All proceeds benefit the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley and you will be supporting the local musical talent in the Lehigh Valley as well!!

You can even take your calendars to the gigs of the featured bands and get their autographs! You can go to the Valley Rockers calendar Facebook page to place your order online via PayPal (and you do not need a PayPal account to place your order). Follow the link below and make sure to "like" the page so that you can follow all the calendar updates, news, and events.

Get out support local music, thank the musicians, and rock and roll! Until next time...Music feeds the soul!
