Dear Sisters in Christ,

Hopefully you are keeping cool in the middle of this summer and able to relax and rejuvenate some.  Thankfully, we are blessed to have air conditioning for our hot days in the 90’s.  My son was surprised in Geneva, Switzerland, where he is doing research at CERN, by a record heat wave in the 100’s.  Most of Europe does not have air conditioning.  At least he has a fan now for his apartment to help him sleep and his work is air conditioned.  

Our Central/Southern Illinois Women of the ELCA Board has been working on our Fall Biennial Convention to be held October 11-12, 2019 when it will be cooler and much more pleasant.  It will be at Lake Williamson Christian Center in Carlinville (like 2017). We hope to see many of you there.  Please refer to our Summer Newsletter and the website for more information on the convention. Packets will be mailed out soon with nomination forms for Board offices such as Vice President and Treasurer and conference representatives.  Nominations are needed for 2020 Triennial Delegates as well.
