FORWARD THINKING EVENT 2008 > You are invited to attend one of two free FORWARD THINKING events being offered in Florida. Forward Thinking includes components of the ELCA Board of Pensions, ELCA Foundation, and Mission Investment Fund of the ELCA that relate to gifting possibilities and endowments. These are NOT pre-retirement seminars, but tried and true methods for growing and using Board of Pensions (and other non-church retirement plans) to the best advantage both during working years and retirement as well as passing the remainder assets to family and ministries after the death of the plan owner and/or survivor. We encourage all ages of church workers, and spouses, to attend. REGISTER TODAY! There is no cost to attend these events, but for planning purposes we ask participants to please pre-register before January 16th by contacting Val Neuhart at the synod office, 813.876-7660 or at valn@fbsynod.org.
