Fred Olson, our South Pinellas County Chapter Board President, is moving to a new home south of the Skyway bridge. Fred has served the South Pinellas County Chapter for the past several years and under his leadership we have accomplished many things, Our involvement with Thrivent Builds provided 3 families with new affordable housing and as our Chapter Board President, Fred provided leadership in our community for many worthwhile projects. Fred and De will be missed and we wish them a great new start. Glen Zobel has volunteered to run for the role of president in 2010.
Imagine yourself as part of a group of caring people with the opportunity to decide how best to use funding that benefits people in need and your community. Imagine being able to increase the impact that money has through community involvement, awareness, additional funds raised and the caring work of many hands. And imagine being able to help Thrivent Financial members come together for charitable, educational and social purposes. Chapter leaders with the South Pinellas County Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans do just that! And with chapter leader elections just around the corner, the time to get involved is NOW! Come serve and see how the board functions to bring Gods love to our community. You will discover the real joy in serving the community as one of Christ's followers. The only requirements are: being a Thrivent Financial member; a desire to help people; and five to 15 hours per month volunteer time. We very much need you on the chapter leadership board—without a full board, our chapter will not qualify for the funding that helps people and our community. Help us take full advantage of this unique opportunity to significantly impact our community and contact Glen Zobel 727 535-6042 today to find out more or add your name to the election ballot.
