Each member of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is a member of one of nearly 1,400 local groups, called chapters. Chapters provide opportunities for our members to "make a difference" by helping others through volunteer action. You are a member of the West Dodge County Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
Rachel Christian, Records Director and Lois Bennett, Communication Director have fulfilled a four-year term on the board, so we say "thanks so very much" for a job well done, thanks for your time and energy, and good luck. We hope to see you at our events.
On Saturday, December 6th, the board assembled and delivered 55 food baskets to families in the West Dodge Chapter who are experiencing difficult times. The recipients were from many of the churches in the West Dodge County area. The Board contacted all Congregational Coordinators for assistance in obtaining the number of food baskets needed in their respective churches. All the recipients were very happy to know that they were remembered at this time of year and so glad to get the much needed items.
On Saturday, December 20th, each board member as well as the Financial Associates at the Beaver Dam Office of Thrivent, plan on taking a family shopping at Walmart for needed items for their families. These individuals will be able to purchase food, clothes, gifts for family members and toys for the kids. This is a great project that will bring lots of smiles and will be very much appreciated by all participants. Seeing the smiles on the faces of these individuals as well as some tears of joy will make all of us thankful for what we have and what we do, as a chapter. We are happy to be able to do some good for families who are less fortunate.
