What a terrific year for the Lutheran congregations of Morris County! 61 activities were proposed and completed to meet the needs of agencies, groups, and individuals. Through fund raisers, volunteer hours and hands on activities, funds and resources were distributed in our communities and as far away as Africa. Some agencies such as Habitat for Humanity, Lutheran World Relief and food pantries, received support from activities conducted in several congregations.
Many thanks to all of the congregations who took time to vote and return their ballots. Our Vice-president, David Bowles, traveled to each congregation and hand delivered packets containing a congregational listing of Thrivent members, blank ballots and a return envelope for completed ballots. Our hope was to make it as convenient as possible to conduct the election and return the ballots. Those congregations who completed the task and returned the ballots received a $100 donation in appreciation of their effort and time. The Morris County Chapter Board for 2008:
To all of you who have led activities, worked with your congregations to complete fund raising and hands on activities, and submitted the paper work to the board each time an activity was proposed and completed...we say THANK YOU! Without the leadership in the local congregations, nothing would happen! Your contribution of volunteer time and effort are appreciated by the board and most of all, by the many people you help through your activities.
