In the year 2000, about $30,000 was raised through Lutheran Brotherhood and AAL matching funds program. Through AAL, you can participate in the matching funds program by investing in an Aid Association for Lutherans product, or through the Associate Membership. AAL's mission is to be of service to others by sharing love and concern through benefits, educational activities, and aiding the church and community with social activities and moral support. For more information, contact Donna Lindstrom, 952-955-2106; Elaine Hoese; or Stan and Sandy Heldt, 952-657-2169. Lutheran Brotherhood and AAL will soon be combining to become one company. At this point, they are still acting as separate companies. If you are a member of LB and wish to participate, contact Ralph Unglaub, 952-657-2162, and he will show you how easy it is to contribute. |
