This morning, Jane Irvine from The Mid-Ohio Valley Ringers, spoke to The Wood County Rotary Club at the Vienna Community Building in Jackson Park. Jane talked about the history of the organization and how they were organized. There 6 1/2 octaves of bells that they use. Bells started in Switzerland before moving over to England. PT Barnum actually brought bells to the United States. The group practices weekly and will be doing a Christmas concert at First Presbyterian later this year. Members of our club participated in bell ringing and were able to learn some techniques to making beautiful music.
