    Greetings fr    om the President

    What a wonderful sight to see the ladies of our Synod drive up to Wartburg on Convention Day and unload those towel bundles for Lutheran Services in Iowa.

    About 500 towel bundles were received for the children at Bremwood in Waverly and Beloit in Ames. What an

    outpouring of love! Many children will be excited to have a towel bundle of their own.

    THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!


    --Cecil Maureen Johnson,
    NEIA SWO President
