The Gulf of Mexico Chapter is pleased to invite all ALDE members from around the country (spouses and significant others as well!) to come to New Orleans in September to Refresh – Renew – Restore! Not only will you get your Three Rs but you will have the opportunity to pitch in at Camp Restore and help Refresh, Renew, and Restore the New Orleans area affected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The weekend includes the opportunity to Refresh with a visit to the French Quarter, to Renew through hand-on rebuilding projects and a workshop on maintaining balance between work and life, and a special presentation from a Katrina survivor who will share with us what is being done to Restore New Orleans.
And you won’t find a better deal than $150 for a weekend in New Orleans! Included in the registration fee is lodging for two nights at the fabulous Camp Restore, plus meals on Saturday and Sunday. Click here to learn more about, or to register for, Refresh – Renew – Restore! by August 22.
ALDE is pleased to announce it has received a grant from the Thrivent Financial for Lutherans Foundation in support of its College 2 Career initiative. This partnership has led to the development of the College 2 Career – Thrivent Fellows Program. The project will identify and recruit from Lutheran colleges a young, talented, and diverse future workforce for the profession of faith-based charitable giving. Through quality internships, ongoing educational opportunities, and mentoring, participants will graduate with a realistic understanding of the challenges and opportunities of resource development, a support network of ALDE professionals who are dedicated to helping them succeed in their new career, and an understanding of stewardship that they will translate to their own congregations and institutions.
ALDE is pleased to announce its webinar schedule for 2008-2009. The lineup currently includes one session each month from August through May, except for the conference month of February.
Information on how to register will be provided in forthcoming e-mails. The webinar schedule may be viewed by clicking on the link below.
