Happy New Year!

Having a Happy New Year? Zion Alumni and Friends has already set goals for 2014. The first is to keep you more informed on the organization's activities and accomplishments. Another is to increase our membership by enlisting the help of those who have already joined.

We welcome all ages! Our hope is that with the experience of those from the past and the knowledge of those in the present, we can continue to support the family of Zion Lutheran Church and School in the future.

Membership Drive

Would you be willing to help expand our membership? No meeting attendance is necessary. Just go to zion-luth.org/alumni-and-friends to join! You will then be added to our mailing list for information and updates. And please, pass along this email to your family & friends and help Zion's growth in Alumni & Friends.

Annual Zion Dinner Auction

This is our main fundraising activity for the year. It is scheduled for the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The event takes on a holiday atmosphere with Christmas decorations and the auction of Christmas trees and wreaths. Of course, it is not limited to that. This is a good time to bid on all our silent and oral auction donations to help you complete your Christmas shopping. Please mark your calendars for this year's Dinner Auction, November 22, 2014.
