It starts with us! Imagine what can happen when volunteers throughout the community join hands together to make a difference. That's what Join Hands Day is all about. We encourage you to participate in the eighth annual JOIN HANDS DAY on Saturday, May 5, 2007. This national day of volunteering is sponsored by America's fraternal benefit societies, including Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, to generate awareness about the impact of grassroots volunteerism. It encourages youth and adults to come together to identify, plan and conduct activities to improve their communities.
It's time once again for an extreme neighborhood makeover! Thrivent Builds is thrilled to rise to the challenge of completing 10 homes, this time in the Harambee North neighborhood in Milwaukee. Builds week to frame the homes will be held May 14-18, with additional build days scheduled throughout the summer and fall to finish the homes. Details will be coming soon, but plan now to join forces with Thrivent Financial volunteers to help complete this very ambitious project. All your hard work during Thrivent Builds week leads up to Thrivent Financial for Lutherans day at Miller Park. Relax and enjoy some fellowship at the Brewer's game on May 20, at 1:00 p.m..
