GOODBYE 'WET' SPRING-HELLO SUMMER

My sympathy to anyone that has had to deal with flooded basements, flooded land,and the such.  And Thank You to all who have helped their fellow neighbor!! See the  'Help the Flood Victims' article below to help or request help.

All elected chapter leadership positions are considered “open positions” each year, even though there may be some members who have not completed their four consecutive terms.




Help the Flood Victims!!

If you can in any way help the victims of recent flooding, please contact Lauren Cravens, Thrivent Builds Chapter Specialist.

Also, if your area NEEDS help, contact Lauren and she will get the word out for the help. Thank you, Lauren!!
