The Indianapolis Colts All Pro Dad Father & Kids Experience was a great success! This was a unique opportunity to join Tony Dungy on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium and participate in NFL-themed activities. Thrivent Financial was excited to be the presenting sponsor again this year. Thanks to all the volunteers and participants that helped make it such a wonderful event. Here's some highlights:
• Event sold out in six minutes once it was opened up to the general public
• 600 families attended (more than 1,700 people) making it one of the largest Father & Kids Experience that All Pro Dad has ever hosted
• With our early registration, about one third of the families that attended were associated with Thrivent Financial
• Priceless memories were made between fathers and their kids
• To continue the experience, sign up to join a Dad’s Day Breakfast; to find one near you visit www.allprodad.com.

| Kids Against Hunger Event |
|
Thrivent Financial hosted a special event in November to feed starving children. Over one hundred Lutherans came together to pack nutritious meals with Kids Against Hunger, a nonprofit organization committed to reducing the number of hungry children worldwide. Over 30,000 meals were packed and over half of those meals went to the Cincinnati Free Store! During 2008, Thrivent Financial for Lutheran chapters throughout the Midwest will pack more than 900,000 meals. For more information on Kids Against Hunger visit www.feedingchildren.org.To discuss hosting an event in your area, contact Larry Moore at larry.moore@thrivent.com.

Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity |

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and Habitat for Humanity International joined together to create Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity, a four-year, $125 million program designed to help provide a "hand up" to people who lack decent shelter. Through Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity, volunteers have already built more than 650 homes with families in need of simple, decent, affordable housing. Join us as we build 324 homes across the U.S. in 2008! Thirteen homes will be built in our region with homes in Ft. Wayne, Boone County, Hendricks County, Indianapolis, Johnson County, Cincinnati, Louisville, St. Joseph County, Evansville, LaPorte County and Lafayette.
