• What: Ben’s Bells promote kindness and community involvement. Each week a person who makes Tucson better is “belled.”
• Last week’s recipient: Alice Gordon.
• Nominated by: Bill Burrus.
• Why: Gordon has for several years picked up litter along North First Avenue from Orange Grove to River roads. Every Saturday morning, Gordon is out picking up trash, Burrus wrote in his nomination letter. She has recruited help from a neighbor, Loretta Weber, but does this all on her own volition, Burrus wrote. “She makes sure she recycles all the trash she can,” Burrus added. “She never asks or hopes for any recognition and is always cheerful, even during the hot summer months.”
