ALDE Wisconsin Chapter Updates and Meetings

Hello WALDE Members and Friends,

We are gearing up for 
Faith & Fundraising: Milwaukee 2022 in February and hope that you can help us in extend a “Warm Wisconsin Welcome” to the hundreds of fellow fundraisers who will gather from across the nation. In fact, we really need your help!

As the local chapter of ALDE, we have a tremendous opportunity to serve in a variety of ways. The planning team for this year’s conference is hard at work and while the details are not all finalized, we got the scoop from a couple of our WALDE members who are helping with that planning and wanted to share what we do know.  

Right now, it looks like we’ll need following:
  • Ideas of high-quality items that could be placed in welcome bags shared with guests at the hotel (approx. 300), along with connections to who could provide the items
  • Donations from Wisconsin-based businesses that could be included in raffle baskets
  • People to staff a WALDE station throughout the event (where we can share “Warm Wisconsin Welcome” items, have a photo station with props, and offer Wisconsin hospitality by sharing knowledge — everything from where to eat to understanding Midwest colloquialisms)
  • Ambassadors to join with various evening activities (such as a Skylight Theater show, Taste of Milwaukee tour, or a simulated “round the campfire” in-hotel gathering with hot chocolate, s’mores, games, music, etc.)
  • Ideas for ways to support Health/Wellness (currently planning for COVID rapid testing, Parish Nurse offerings, mental health activities, meditation/prayer rooms, pampering items for sale to benefit charity, etc.)
  • Ideas for ways to keep this gathering high-energy, very hospitable, and heartwarming
So, if any of these ideas sound like something you could help with, please let us know at [email protected] and [email protected].

We also would like to offer a 
special scholarship (or two) to pay the conference fee for a new WALDE member or someone from our state who has not previously attended this conference before. To do this we need your donations. Perhaps this is a great opportunity to include with your giving to ALDE. Make your contribution to ALDE and designate it for WALDE for this purpose. The more we raise, the more we can grow our network of support through education and fellowship.

Since this planning is happening right now, we know there will be updates and more to share. 
To keep you informed, we invite you to join us for our next WALDE Zoom meetings:

Wednesday, February 2, 2022

Yours in Christ,

Jeff & Sarah
