IDEAS FOR 2012??????? |

Do you have some ideas for the board to consider for social member events during 2012? We are always seeking new places and/or activities for our social events. Give it some thought, then send out an email to any of the board members. The planning for some of the first events will begin in January and February, so don't delay - tell us today!
Email addresses for our new board in 2012 are listed a little farther down on this page!
Thank you! | |

| Host a Social Event at Your Church in 2012! | | | The Summit-Portage County Chapter is once again assisting congregations in hosting a social event or several social events through the end of 2012. Each year our congregations can receive up to $100 from the chapter’s annual operating funds to pay for a social activity. We only ask that you mention in your publicity that the event was supported financially by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. Check with your congregation’s Congregational Advocate to see if you have plans to get the funding for 2012. | | | | Click here to learn more about this funding... |
