June 12  - Saturday  -  WELCA Outing & Tour

 

Ladies -  It’s time to do something fun together.   On Saturday June 12^th, meet at church about 9:15 am and plan to carpool together to tour two places in Sioux Falls. Both of these non-profits are supported by our        benevolence budget. 

1^st Stop at 10 AM:  LSS Center for New Americans (300 East 6^th St - on East Bank of Sioux River).  A representative from LSS will explain how the capital campaign is funding this building and program with the $75,000 pledge from the SD Women of the ELCA.  

2^nd Stop at 10:45 AM:  Sharing the Dream in Guatemala  (321 Jones Building on North Phillips Ave – just 2 blocks from LSS)   The Director of Sharing the Dream will talk to us about the programs that Sharing the Dream operates in Guatemala, offer us a 10% discount on purchases and several ladies that traveled to Guatemala will also share their experiences.

One of the projects we support is the “Elder” program.  Our gift of $300 helps feed and give medical checkups to one elder for one year.  

Sharing the Dream in Guatemala is an organization that promotes fair trade with cooperatives and small businesses in Guatemala.  Purchasing these crafts not only provides work for the artisans, but the profits go to support community development projects as well.

 

A Thrivent Grant will provide a speakers fee and some door prizes. 

Be Sure To Come!
