As we look at the calendar and see that the month of July is half way over and the temperatures are on the rise, the board hopes that all of you are enjoying the summer thus far. The calendar also tells your board members that the year is half way over and there are many things that still need to be done within the chapter before the end of the year. We are asking for your help so that we will not lose our funding for next, or the possiblity of the chapter itself. Please prayerfully consider doing some hands-on service or fund-raising activities in your community and becoming a board member for the year 2005.
Just to remind you, the following are your board members for 2004 and they are volunteering their time to help you with any projects that you would like to do in your church or community. Please contact any one of these members with any questions, concerns or requests for funding.
Did you know that Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has a program called Care in Congregations™ where funding is provided to Thrivent Financial members to conduct fund-raising and/or hands-on service activities to benefit your congregation or its related Lutheran institutions? In fact, Thrivent Financial members are encouraged to use the funds to help the congregation in its ministry to the community.
Through Care Abounds in Communities™, anyone in our chapter can organize a community service team and help others. It doesn't take a lot of time or a long-term commitment! Contact a member of our chapter leadership board as noted in this newsletter for assistance in getting started.
Is someone in your community suffering from health problems and high medical expenses? Do you know a family in financial need who could use help maintaining their home? Is there a school, community park or camp that could benefit from new equipment?
It will soon be time to elect your Chapter Leadership Board. Would you please consider taking one of these volunteer positions!
"Your organization - your vote - now easier than ever before"
As you continue to enjoy the remaining days of summer, please consider how you may be of help to your community. As a Thrivent Financial for Lutherans member, you have a wonderful opportunity to "make a difference" by getting involved to help others through our Thrivent Financial chapter and the Care Abounds in Communities™ program. It's not only rewarding, it's easy to do! Let's do it! Our next Board meeting is Thursday August 26th at Little America. Please request funds by then. Submitted by Marilyn McDonald Records Director
