It’s a powerful thing to see Thrivent clients come together in times of great need. Join us in supporting victims of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. Thrivent increased the match to $750,000 so when you give to hurricane relief efforts, Thrivent will add $1 to every $2 you donate through the online giving platform to our featured organizations. Thrivent also pays all processing fees, so 100% of your donation goes directly to the cause. To help today, visit https://bit.ly/4f0Ki1I.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all who participated in this past weekend’s Swim-A-Thon Event and a special thanks to those who donated. Your cooperation and support is greatly appreciated!
This event was something new for us but going outside of your comfort zone pays off when it is for a worthy cause. We would like to lift up all who made this event possible - Meg Poe of the AE Alliance, Karyn Austin, Jeremy McIntyre, Micah Lindler, Kathy Emanuelson, Thrivent Communities, and most importantly those of you who showed your support via participation or donation. We hope we accomplished our mission of raising awareness for those impacted by Autoimmune Encephalitis and hope our efforts reach those who need support.

Family, Fitness, and Adventure in Yosemite!
I recently took a wonderful trip to California with my lovely daughter, Elisabeth, where we got to explore the stunning Yosemite National Park and enjoyed hiking through its breathtaking landscapes. It was a perfect reminder of how important it is to seize opportunities to spend quality time with family with the added benefit of staying active and appreciating nature.
Here's to balancing family time and fitness – nurturing both body and soul!

She brings a wealth of experience, and we are looking forward to all the great things she will accomplish with our team. Read below to learn more about Tracy:
Tracy began her journey with Thrivent in 2007 as a Financial Representative. She took a hiatus in 2017 due to her husband’s company moving her and her husband, Mike, to Prague, Czech Republic. Tracy has since returned and is thrilled to return to the work she is passionate about. She and her husband Mike have two sons that have blessed the Goodrich family with wonderful wives and seven beautiful grandchildren who she spends much of her free time playing with.
