1980-05 Resolution on the Overseas and Minority Student Scholarship Fund

80-5 RESOLUTION ON OVERSEAS AND MINORITY

STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP FUND

BACKGROUND

For the past four years, LSM-USA Assemblies have been enhanced by the participation of overseas and minority students. These people have contributed a unique perspective by sharing with us their experiences and friendship. Through them and with them we have been able to learn and grow in the fellowship of the global Christian community.

Resolved

1. That LSM-USA gratefully acknowledge the aid and support of the Division for Mission in North America of the Lutheran Church in America for their generous support of the Overseas and Minority Student Scholarship Fund.

2. That a letter of thanks and appreciation be addressed by the LSM-USA national president to Dr. Ruth Wick for her vision and support of the Overseas and Minority Student Scholarship Fund.

3. That LSM-USA set for itself the goal of raising $2000. This commitment by members of LSM-USA will be publicized in a communication from the national office following the Assembly.

4. The celebration of All Saints’ Day in 1980 be designated as the day for LSM-USA local groups to take an offering specifically designated to the scholarship fund. These offerings will be forwarded to the LSM-USA national office and placed into the special Scholarship Fund described here.
