Alyssa had a busy summer, and there's still more to come! During the Monona County fair, she hosted a kids' piggy bank decorating craft and tossed out candy and Live Generously shirts during the parade. Then the next weekend, she braved the RAGBRAI crowds on her bike the night before they rode out and handed out cooling towels to riders both downtown and at a dinner hosted by Faith Lutheran Church of Onawa. This weekend, she'll be at the Onawa Harvest Festival with a fun challenge related to the power of compounding interest. She'll have plenty of Thrivent swag to give away, so be sure to stop by and see her if you'll be in town! No products will be sold.

What made it even more special was the generosity of this group—coming together to support a local nonprofit dedicated to women’s health. 💗 We’re so grateful for our incredible clients who not only showed up, but showed care for our community. Events like these are a reminder of how meaningful it is to gather, connect, and give back together.
