 There's Still Time to Beat the Clock
Give to the ALDE Annual Fund to be entered into a drawing for a FREE SUNRISE BALLOON RIDE at the conference!
Since this fall, we have been asking you to "beat the clock" with your gift to the 2009-10 Annual Fund. With a team effort, we can "beat the goal" of raising $20,000 for the work of our organization.
Now there's an extra clock to beat. If you give a gift to the Annual Fund before the 2010 ALDE International Educational Conference (Feb. 26-March 1, 2010 in Albuquerque, New Mexico), you will be entered in a conference drawing to win a gift certificate for a FREE HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE that can be used anywhere in the U.S. This is a great opportunity, but you can't win if you don't come to the conference, so be sure to register for ALDE 2010.

Conference Servant Event Dates and Times Announced
Give back, and further feed your spirit, by offering your time and talents at the conference Servant Event. This year, however, there won’t simply be one event, but rather a number opportunities to serve the people of God. ALDE will be helping the Albuquerque Rescue Mission feed those in need. The Rescue Mission is only about six blocks from the hotel, so that will give us a number of opportunities to help serve the 400-500 people the Mission feeds at each meal. To learn about the Albuquerque rescue mission, visit abqrescue.org. If you can only make one of the times, can make all of them or something in between, that's great. Any help you can give is, and will be, much appreciated. Please indicate your interest on the conference registration form.
The times and dates are:
- Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 5-6 p.m.
- Friday, February 26, 2010 - 6-7 a.m.
- Sunday, February 28, 2010 - 6-7 a.m.
- Monday, March 1, 2010 - 6-7 a.m.
ALDE's Indiana-Michigan Chapter Lends a Hand with Lutheran Housing Support
On June 2, 2009, eight volunteers from the ALDE Indiana-Michigan chapter, along with staff from Lutheran Housing Support and two neighborhood volunteers, spent 3-4 hours sprucing up a pocket park, which was installed approximately eight years ago as part of a revitalization project spearheaded by Zion Lutheran Church and St. Peter's Catholic Church in Fort Wayne Indiana. The volunteers pulled weeds, re-mulched, trimmed up the fence row, removed and relocated plantings and cleaned up and reset some of the brick. All of the materials were purchased by ALDE through a grant provided to Lutheran Housing Support. We encouraged the neighbors across the street to use the mulch that was left over and they were more than happy to oblige. Through the generous gift and the volunteer efforts of ALDE, the entire corner has been rejuvenated.
