Update: LUM Legis lative Wrap Up 2015

Don’t Miss This Opportunity — Be a 2015 LUM Camp Counselor!

LUM Volunteer Camp Counselors Needed

Few volunteer opportunities offer as much fulfillment as being a LUM Camp Counselor. LUM Camp Counselors are invaluable volunteers who...

Spend the entire week (July 27-July 31) at camp serving as life guides and role models

Assist and motivate campers whether they are trying to learn a new skill or have concerns about an issue or idea

Are fun-loving, patient and genuinely concerned for the welfare and development of young people

Help create a family environment that makes LUM Camp unique and special

Past LUM Camp counselors often reflect that the rewards of working with children, spending a week in the invigorating outdoor environment of Hanging Rock Christian Assembly Camp, and potentially gaining new skills and experiences — are priceless.

Please share with others.

They also enjoy the camp songs, bonfire, camp food, and chapel. LUM simply could not offer LUM Camp without our talented and dedicated Volunteer Camp Counselors.

Centier Bank Kicks Off “Save the Dough”

Yesterday, Centier Bank kicked off their Summer of Savings and “Save the Dough” program with a celebration on Columbia Street at their branch near the Courthouse. As one of the local agencies benefiting from this program, LUM was invited to participate. Representing LUM at the celebration were Joe Micon, LUM executive director and LUM students—Tamra, Tyra & Tony Bryant. During the presentation, the Centier Bank president & chairman of the board, Michael Schrage, surprised LUM & the other agencies with a $120 donation to commemorate the Centier’s 120th anniversary.

Pictured with the two Centier Bank bakers and our LUM students, Tamra, Tyra & Tony, are (from L to R) Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski, Michael Schrage, Joe Micon & Joseph Howarth, Centier Bank Lafayette Market President.

Remember you too can get involved in “Save the Dough.” The Centier Bank Ball jars are at LUM and ready for your children & grandchildren.

It’s a fun & easy way to help raise dough for LUM—and teach your child some great lessons about money and the importance of saving, spending and giving wisely! Here’s how it works:

1. Children (12 & younger) pick up their “Save the Dough” Ball jar at the LUM Office 2. Children will collect and save coins in their Save the Dough Jar 3. In August the children will bring in jars & use the coin counter to total up their savings 4. Centier Bank will match a percentage of their savings and give a bonus to the child and a

match to LUM (and the three additional local nonprofits)

Stop by the LUM Office (420 N 4th Street, Lafayette), pick up your Save the Dough jars, and get your children excited about participating in “dough at Centier.” Thanks.
