New Color Copier

Thanks to a grant from the Chicagoland Lutheran Educational Foundation (CLEF), we were able to purchase a new color copier.  The new equipment features folding and stapling capabilities so we can print our own booklets, annual reports and newsletters in FULL COLOR.  We will also be able to print pictures of the children for use in the classroom. Rev. Bruce Ray, executive director, expressed his gratitude for CLEF.  "This gift will save Lutheran Day thousands of dollars in printing costs and will help us be better stewards of the resources God gives us. We thank God that The CLEF Good News Fund has chosen to support our ministry."  CLEF has also provided generous scholarships for our families.

Operation Welcome

   

Before & After

In July, Lutheran Day Board members Art Carlson and Wayne Oestricher worked to make our office area more welcoming and friendly.  Before their project was complete, parents and guests would enter our office area and see a series of doors--but no people.  Now, we have a beautiful new reception area with an opening as a focal point and a counter area.  People are welcomed by our staff the moment they walk through the door.   We believe that Operation Welcome is a huge success and will help us serve our families better.
