We are very excited to announce that LTlov has added a new program to our LTlov organization. This program is called 12:31, and was created by Mike Dahlhauser, a member of our Lake Travis Community. Many of you may follow 12:31 on Facebook. 12:31 comes from the bible verse, Mark 12:31 which states “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Mike says the mission of 12:31 has been “to serve our community, in whatever capacity is needed, with the kind of relentless compassion for others that inspires a generation to do the same.” We believe that in many ways, the mission of LTlov and the mission of 12:31 are very similar.
Mike has been looking to join a group such as LTlov. 12:31 has a lot of volunteers and a lot of caring donors. They have done some amazing work in helping those in need in our community. When Mike puts the word out of a need, people step up to help. It’s been exciting to watch!
Our board has done a lot of due diligence on adding a program like this to LTlov. The board voted and came back with a unanimous decision that we wanted to add 12:31 as a new program to LTlov.
Mike will chair the 12:31 program, just as Stacy Mikrut and Alison Blake have co-chaired our School Supplies Program and Sheryl Kelly has chaired our Green Santa Program. We have put banking systems in place to keep donations to 12:31 separate from our other programs and general donations.
You will be hearing more about 12:31 in the months ahead. Learn more about the 12:31 Program and how to dontate here and please “Follow” 12:31 on Facebook
