Captain Andy Miller III, a sixth generation Salvation Army officer, spoke to the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville at the noon meeting on January 7.  He thanked the group for their help with the bell-ringing at Christmas in front of the Lawrenceville Wal-Mart.   The Rotary ringers collected $1,700 all together, with an average of $300 a kettle. With the volunteer ringers, the organization was able to add several sites, which resulted in a 50% increase in income over last year.  Capt. Miller explained the overall mission of the Salvation Army “to preach the gospel and meet human needs.”  Their motto is to “Do the most good” with their resources and to those they serve.  He gave a brief history of the Salvation Army, beginning with William Booth’s founding group in the 1860s.  He then described the programs supported by the Salvation Army of Gwinnett.
