Eligible Thrivent benefit members have until March 31, 2011 to direct their 2010 Thrivent Choice dollars to a Lutheran organization of their choice. Eligible benefit members can help direct funds all year long to thousands of Lutheran nonprofit organizations like schools, camps, colleges – or even to their Lutheran congregations. Benefit members age 16 or older are eligible to participate in Choice Dollars if they: Hold a Thrivent Financial volunteer leadership position; or Have $800 or more in annual premiums of qualifying insurance products; or Have $20,000 or more in contract value of qualifying products. If you have questions about how to go about making a designation, please contact Frank Bernhardt in Camden (803-432-5651) or Jim Ballentine in Lancaster (803-285-4149. Members who made a Choice Dollar designation last year may want to check their 2010 Choice Dollar balance again. Additional Choice Dollars were designated to individual accounts in December, in some cases after the member made their designation, leaving a balance that must be taken care of by the March 31st deadline.

Our chapter has received its "Care Abounds in Communities" allocation for 2011, in the amount of $5265.00. This money is intended to be used to benefit needy individuals, families or non-profit organizations (these are organizations that fall under the 501(c)(3) IRS code). The activities can be hands-on work projects, where we can use the program funds to purchase supplies needed to do the work, or through fund-raising efforts, with the program funds used to add to funds raised
