Immediately following the morning service on October 4^th we will have Endowment Fund check presentations to Kokomo Urban Outreach and Samaritan Caregivers.  The Endowment Fund is a CLC stock market account that maintains a base level investment of actual money given, but from which dividends are periodically disbursed to selected charities.  Since we have not had dividend disbursements in the last few years and the markets have performed well, we are able to donate a $4,000 check to Samaritan Caregivers as recommended by the Finance Committee and approved by the Church Council.

Jamey Henderson of Samaritan Caregivers will be with us to receive the check for her organization and explain a bit about what Caregivers does for the Kokomo community.  You are probably aware that our own Office Administrator Rebekah G. also manages the Medicare Counseling service of Samaritan Caregivers functioning out of the northeast wing of our building.  So obviously we are already supporting Caregivers through their utilizing our building spaces and utilities.  It is nice that now we are in a position to do more financially, plus Jamey will give us insight into additional Samaritan Care Givers programs and how we could participate more from an individual volunteer perspective.  Find out more at www.samaritancaregivers.org

Of course coffee and cookies will be available so you can munch while questioning Jamey and Jeff about volunteer opportunities.  If you have questions talk to Jan Harmeyer and Judie McCoy who interacted with Jamey and Jeff in planning this check presentation event.  (And they have volunteer forms!!)
