From Your Executive Director,
Lynn Ann Clausing Rusch
Harvesting the Fruit of Your Gifts
I like to watch the progress of the raised bed gardens that our tenants tend to. The tenants have taken ownership and great pride in their plots and are excited to share the fruits of their labor with their neighbors.
We may not always see the fruits of our labor yet we continually plant seeds. Your support of Linwood Community is like a seed. It takes time for some seeds to grow and bear fruit.
I am reminded of those persons that planted the first seeds of the ministry at Fox Valley Lutheran Homes. They kept on planting and didn't give up. Just because they didn’t see the fruit didn't mean the seed didn't take root.

Seeds we plant can lead to blessings that far exceed our wildest dreams. We serve a God of abundance that wants to bless us and reward us and do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine. Thank you for continuing to plant seeds to support our ministry. |

Our Board of Directors has selected a new logo and enhanced our name. Linwood Community, A Ministry of Fox Valley Lutheran Homes reflects the feeling of fellowship with others (both between our tenants and in our community) as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests and goals as we live and support each other. Thanks to Kathleen Zeitler-Poretto, of Signs That Sell, LLC for the logo design work. |

Thanks to all of our supporters for making our Pie & Ice Cream Social a great success! We received over 50 pies, served 100 people, raffled off two beautiful quilts and had a wonderful time with both old and new friends.
Special thanks to the pie bakers, quilt makers, volunteer helpers, Old Glory Café for the ice cream, sponsor Matt Prickett of R&R Insurance and Deb Linsmeier for supporting the event with a Thrivent Action Team grant. Your contributions allowed us to exceed our goal of $1,500.

These energetic volunteers swept and power washed our underground garage and helped clear our south lawn for our upcoming summer concert series. In addition, all the nonprofits involved in this activity received a generous donation from the volunteer teams. We are thankful for the community support from all the teams involved with this challenge!
