ASHEBORO -- The Monarch “Shakers and Movers” Bell Ringers
will perform at 1 p.m. Thursday, August 14, at the Asheboro Public
Library.
Sponsored by the Friends of the Library, the concert is free
and the public is invited.
The 12-member handbell choir is part of Monarch Vocational
Opportunities in the Community (VOC) in Asheboro, which supports adults with
intellectual and developmental disabilities. The choir was started in 2012 and
has performed throughout Randolph County. The group also performs a song in
sign language.
The group began as a result of a generous donation from a parent who received the “Positive Spirit Award” from Energizer for his enthusiastic and cheerful demeanor. This donor has a daughter who attends the VOC program and says she is his motivation for his positive attitude. It is with that same positive spirit the handbell choir performs as they continue to show and share optimism with the community.
