An annual contribution of $2.00 or more entitles you to membership in the Auxiliary. MISSION... The Women's Auxiliary exists to stimulate an active interest in the program and needs of Waterloo Lutheran Seminary especially in relation to the training of men and women committed to a Christian Ministry. ANNUAL MEETING ... The Women's Auxiliary meets annually on the last Wednesday in September. It is the link that joins together the Women's Auxiliary and the Seminary. It is a time of reflection, of fellowship and a time to praise God in song, words and sacrament. It is here that members gain the impetus to carry on the work of the Auxiliary. PROGRAM ... Since 1973 when the Auxiliary's sole responsibility became the Seminary, the program has included bursaries for Supervised Pastoral Education, graduation gift certificates and of course, the quilts provided by the artistic talents of women of congregations of the Eastern Synod. PROJECTS ... Each year special projects are approved by the members. It is estimated that over the years, the Auxiliary has provided gifts valued in excess of $750,000.00. Some of the projects included: • Providing furnishings for Chapel Tower room for quiet prayer and devotion • Restoring and installing stained glass windows from Willison Hall in Chapel Tower Room • Providing special quilted wall hanging celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Seminary • Purchasing Caramate 400 Slide Projector • Supplying liturgical robes for Seminary Chapel
