Shown in these photos are some of the nearly 60 willing workers at the 63rd Annual Iowa District East LLL Convention. The convention was held at Camp IO-DIS-E-CA on March 18, 2006.
The IDE LLL Board decided to undertake the awesome task of packing 100 Global Care Packages also formerly known as By Kids...For Kids. Early in January plans were formulated to have nearly forty LLL Congregations bring the ingredients for the one hundred Care Packages. Five churches would bring the pencils, five churches would bring the rulers and so on. Imagine one hundred pencil sharpeners, a hundred rulers, some five hundred pencils and five hundred pens all provided and packed in two hours. Remember we also conducted a full day of convention business.
Included was the election of Alberta Martens of Lowden as Secretary, Virgil Mauer of Cedar Falls as Treasurer and Dale Hein of Iowa City as Board Member at Large.
Pictured here also is Mick Onnen, International LLL Secretary whose morning session covered the subjects of lay participation, volunteer opportunities and how to utilize the LLL Congregation Tool Kit. His afternoon session also challenged us in outreach opportunities for personal witness. Mick had some anxious moments as he returned home into the teeth of a Nebraska Snow Storm.
All LLL members are reminded and encouraged to attend the International LLL Convention to be held in Billings, Montana July 6th through the 9th of July.
