| Get Ready for Multiplying Ministry Next Year! |
How often have you asked yourself, "What can I do in life to really make a difference?" How often have you seen a need and said, "I wish there was something I could do?" Thrivent Financial for Lutherans gives you an opportunity to make a positive impact right where you live. Now there is something you can do. Get involved and help others through the Care Abounds in Communities™ program.
Start thinking now for 2008! 2007 funds have been mostly distributed, but it is never too soon to look for good projects for 2008. Then plan to get in touch with your chapter board early next year to take advantage of this way to help through Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. Contact can be made through our Board President, Steve Fardig, at vze48gh2@verizon.net. Phone number 845-338-1559.
| Imagine What a Difference You Can Make! |
Imagine yourself as part of a group of caring people with the opportunity to decide how best to use funding that benefits people in need and your community. Imagine being able to increase the impact that money has through community involvement, awareness, additional funds raised and the caring work of many hands.
Chapter leaders with the Hudson Valley NY Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans do just that with the Care Abounds in Communities® program! And with chapter leader elections just around the corner, the time to get involved is NOW! Our chapter will have (several) leadership opportunities for 2006. The only requirements are: being a Thrivent Financial member; a desire to help people; and five to 15 hours per month volunteer time (depending on the position).
We very much need you on the chapter leadership board--without a full board, our chapter will not qualify for the funding that helps people and our community. Help us take full advantage of this unique opportunity to significantly impact our community and contact a chapter leader today to find out more or add your name to the election ballot. Contact can be made through Board President, Steve Fardig at vze48gh2@verizon.net.
If serving on the chapter leadership board does not work for you but you'd like to be involved or volunteer in some capacity, there are many other volunteer opportunities, both short-term and longer-term, available as well. Please contact us and we'll describe how you can make a difference through the Thrivent chapter system in a way that fits into your schedule.
| Your gift to a Lutheran organization can accomplish even more through the GivingPlus® program |
Are you aware that as a member of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, financial gifts you make to a Lutheran organization might be able to be supplemented by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans?
Through Thrivent Financial's GivingPlus® program, members can donate financial gifts to two different Lutheran organizations enrolled in the program each year, and Thrivent Financial will contribute $1 for every $2, up to $300 per year for each organization. For example, if you donate gifts of $600 or more to two eligible Lutheran organizations each, Thrivent Financial will contribute an additional $600 ($300 for each organization). In addition, Thrivent Financial will contribute an additional $25 for members who volunteer 25 hours or more at the organization receiving their gift.
All you need to do is complete a GivingPlus Member Gift form (available online or from the Lutheran organization) and submit it with your donation to the Lutheran organization. It's a very simple process.
For complete details and guidelines about this one-of-a-kind member benefit program and for copies of the Member Gift form, go to www.thrivent.com/fraternal/churchcommunity/givingplus.html.
