CHAMPAIGN COUNTY THRIVENT CHAPTER MINUTES
The April 2004 meeting of the Champaign Chapter of
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans was called to order at

HfH had a presentation regarding their program and
regarding the Lutheran Build that Region has donated
$10,000 towards. A steering committee needs to be
formed of about 10 to 12 people who will manage this.
It was M/S/C to add new members to our chapter.
Minutes for the previous meetings The minutes for March
of 2004 were reviewed; it was M/S/C to approve the minutes.
Financial Report -- CYM has been finalized. 23,810
is left in Community funding. It was established that
the CongCoord training would be held May 4th at Trinity
Lutheran Church in Urbana. Paul will take care of
refreshments. We decided to move the May meeting to
this evening so we don't have to come out on two evenings
for May.
Chicken Dinner: Two door prizes from area resteraunts
need to be purchased. We need displays regarding the
various things that Thrivent does in the community.
