Mark Eischer, announcer and producer of The Lutheran Hour program, has accepted our invitation to speak at our 66th International Lutheran Laymen’s League 2009 Iowa District East Convention this spring. Mark’s presentation is entitled “Behind the Scenes at the Lutheran Hour.” He will explain how the program is put together each week and recount some of the experiences they have had.
If you have been a supporter of the Lutheran Hour through the years, here is an opportunity to speak to a man who understands the very ‘heartbeat’ of the Lutheran Hour as he has been associated with the behind the scenes activities for many years. This year the convention will be at Zion Lutheran Church, in Hiawatha, rather than at the IO-DIS-E-Ca camp. We are experimenting with using a church site this year. We will evaluate the effect this has on attendance.
The convention date will be Saturday, April 18, 2009. Activities begin with registration at 9:00 A.M. and conclude with the evening banquet at 5:00 P.M.
We will have meals as in the past and the cost will be $20 per person for the entire event. The address for Zion Lutheran Church is: 201 First Avenue Hiawatha, IA 52233. First Avenue is just a few blocks east of the intersection of Blairs Ferry Road and I-380.
You are encouraged to pre-register by sending a check to Kay Lenaburg. His address is: Mr. Kay Lenaburg 5101 Rich Mar Lane NW Cedar Rapids, IA 52405-4115 Make checks payable to IDE LLL Zone 4 We will share more information when we receive it and in the meantime you may also try this blog site to find more information on the convention and some facts about many other League programs. http://idelutheranlaymensleague.blogspot.com/.
