The Carillon Belles
The Carillon Belles—the ladies’ auxiliary of the Rees Carillon Society—promote the Rees Carillon. Founded by Violet Touch in 1965, The Carillon Belles work with the Rees Carillon Society to promote the culture of cast bells by:
- Giving tours of the Carillon to Springfield area 3rd graders
- Assisting with the International Carillon Festival
- Volunteering at the Rees Carillon Society’s special community events: Art Spectacular, Carve for the Carillon, Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular, and Caroling at the Carillon
