Central NY Chapter, Welcome 2009 Congregational Coordinators
Margaret Stahl, Congregational Service Team Director Welcomes
I would like to welcome all Congregation Coordinators, old and new, to Central NY Chapter 2009 year. The chapter board held its first meeting of the year on Teusday, Jan 27, and has an exciting year planned ahead. We plan to meet the fourth Tuesday of each month-- location usually at the Thrivent office in Liverpool, but may vary. If you have any proposals or Care Abounds in Communities requests to submit, please do so one month in advance to any chapter officer. We like to have them ahead of time in order to preview the information and ask questions or clarifications in a timely manner. If you have any questions please call me at 315-652-4485 or email me at moe_stahl@hotmail.com.

Fund Allocations
This year fund allocations have been a little slow coming out but we finally got them. Total allocations
are:  Care Abound in Communities is $16,112.00 Care in Congregation monies are either $1250 or $1020, depending on size of each congregation. The chapter board encourages everyone to use their money wisely and encourage you to use the $1 for every $3 earned formula to spread the money farther. Let us be good stewards of our Thrivent member money.




Upcoming Coordinator Training Event
The Central NY Chapter has tentatively set the Annual Coordinator training event for Sunday, April 26, 2009 at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Liverpool, NY, from 1-4pm. Lunch will be provided along with training, an education workshop, and door prizes. More information will be coming as this events gets closer.




Join Hands Day
Join Hands Day is officially May 2 this year. This activity brings youth and adults together to improve the community.  Central NY Chapter usually holds 2 projects, but not necessarily on that day. We are looking for ideas for this year's projects in the community. If you have any ideas and would like to help or be in charge of a project, please talk to one of the officers of the board.
