Music in the park

All registered classic and antique boats will be on display in the Abbey Marina from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. both days of the event. A parade of participating boats is scheduled for 4 p.m. Sept. 26.

Viewing of the displays and the parade is free and open to the public.

Guests are invited to attend to enjoy the boats, live music, food and local vendors.

A favorite part of the show for many registrants is competing for awards, including Best Pre-War, Best PostWar, and Most Historic. Additionally, a People’s Choice Award as voted upon by attendees will be at 2 p.m. Sept. 27.

Additional events including private tours, receptions, and an awards dinner are available for a fee through advance registration. For more information about the show and a complete schedule of events, visit genevalakesboatshow.com.

The show, “There’s No Place Like Lake Geneva in the Fall,” will highlight the four-season recreation and resort destination with the most accessible body of water in Wisconsin.

“This episode shows off our beautiful Lake Geneva area during the fall season,” said Darien Schaefer, president of the Lake Geneva Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. “Over several days of filming, the ‘Discover Wisconsin’ crew captured seasonal highlights such as the reds, oranges and yellows on display, and the annual antique and classic boat show; The Abbey Resort and Avani Spa and Lake Lawn Resort; the historic Black Point Estate; and the must visit specialty fresh food market, Lake Geneva Country Meats.”

The episode is hosted by Mariah

“One of the most rewarding parts of my job at ‘Discover Wisconsin’ is uncovering what makes a destination unique,” said Haberman. “The beauty of Lake Geneva’s dramatic fall colors can be viewed by walking a piece of the Geneva Lake shore path, which allows you to see close-up views of striking, century-old mansions and lush landscaping upon the scenic autumn backdrop.”

The public is invited to a free “Discover Wisconsin” premiere party at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 25, at The Abbey Resort in Fontana.

The regatta was the first major event at the new Buddy Melges Sailing Center in Fontana and featured 650 sailors and 175 yachts.

Fourteen Inland Lake Yachting Association Hall of Fame members were honored at the association’s regatta dinner Aug 21 including Buddy Melges.

Man organizes dinner to raise funds for family touched by tragedy

By Vicky Wedig STAFF WRITER

S

hawn Panyk is connecting his faith with his finances by having a spaghetti dinner benefit for a friend whose wife was killed and son was hospitalized after a car crash in Rock County in June.

Through his membership in Thrivent Financial, Panyk, a member of The River church in Delavan, is using the company’s Action Teams program to raise funds for the medical care of his friend’s son.

Panyk befriended Justin Border, of Lake Geneva, about three years ago in a gaming group. Border’s eventual wife, Jessica –“Jessie” – also participated in the group and became a friend of Panyk’s.

On June 13, the couple and Border’s 5- and 8-year-old sons from a previous marriage were driving north on Interstate 43 in Beloit when Justin Border stopped to help a disabled vehicle that was in the center of the northbound lanes facing south, according to a Janesville Gazette article. Another vehicle, a minivan, had already stopped at the scene to offer assistance.

As Border was stopped with the vehicle’s hazard lights on behind the minivan, a semi truck hit the disabled vehicle that was in the roadway, according to the article, apparently slamming it into the minivan and Border’s vehicle.

Border reported blacking out at that point, and a passenger in the minivan reported the van being struck from behind.

A 20-year-old Janesville woman, who was driving the disabled vehicle, was arrested for drunken driving and charged with homicide by intoxicated driving in Rock County Circuit Court.

Jessie Border, 26, died as a result

of the crash, and both children were injured. The younger boy, Nathan, broke his arm, and the older boy, Owen, suffered a head injury and remains under medical care, Panyk said.

Justin Border is a veteran having served five years in the U.S. Marines and is a Badger High School graduate, Panyk said. He described Jessie as “den motherish” and said both were “such quality people.”

Panyk decided to use his twiceyearly opportunity as a Thrivent Financial member to form an Action Team to raise money for Owen’s care.

The program gives Panyk $250 to use as seed money to conduct the fundraiser. As it turned out, members of Panyk’s team donated most of the items needed for the event, and Panyk will use the $250 to promote the event.

Although the major items were donated without the seed money, Panyk said if not for the jump-start from Thrivent, he wouldn’t have had the courage to tackle the endeavor.

Panyk hopes to draw 400 people to the spaghetti dinner at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Lake Geneva on Sept. 19. Immanuel Lutheran donated use of the space for the event, and another member of Panyk’s gaming group donated the food.

The event will raise funds through admission to the dinner and a raffle and auction.

Tickets are $12 for adults, $8 for children 4 to 12 years old and free for children 3 years old or younger.

Serving times will be on the hour beginning at 3 p.m. with the last seating at 7 p.m.

The event will include raffles and silent auctions, and anyone who buys tickets ahead of time will be entered to win an hourly door prize.

Guests can visit the Border Family Benefit and Spaghetti Dinner page on Facebook or visit borderfamilybenefit. com for details.

A benefit dinner is scheduled Sept. 19 to benefit the Border family – Justin (from left), Owen, 8, Nathan, 5, and the late Jessica. The family was involved in a car crash in Beloit on June 13 that killed Jessica Border and left Owen Border with a head injury that requires ongoing medical attention.

THRIVENT FOCUSES ON FAITH AND FINANCES

Action teams allow members to live generously

By Vicky Wedig STAFF WRITER

Members of Thrivent Financial – people who purchase insurance from the non-profit organization or use its financial services – have the opportunity to use essentially “free money” to benefit the community or their church.

Thrivent members can implement action plans using a portion of the premium they pay for insurance that would otherwise be used to pay corporate taxes, said Josh Duesterbeck, a consultant with the company.

Because Thrivent is a non-profit organization, it doesn’t pay corporate taxes and instead those funds go back to the members to be used in the community – often to churches or other charitable organizations.

Members can use either a $250 gift card or 50 t-shirts to promote or raise funds for an organization or cause of their choice.

Thrivent is a national organization of Christians that helps its members be wise with money and live generously, according to the organization whose theme is

“connecting faith and finances for good.” Thrivent has local offices in Delavan, 1407 Racine St., Unit E., and Burlington, 400 N. Pine Street.

“We connect people’s faith to their finances,” Duesterbeck said.

The company implemented action teams a few years ago. An action teams is a volunteer program available to Thrivent members focused on getting a team together in service. The program allows Thrivent members to live generously and take action on a cause they are passionate about.

Members bring together a volunteer team of family, friends and neighbors to conduct one-time fundraisers, service activities or educational events.

Members can visit thrivent.com/ action team to get information or apply for a project. They will need to log in with their thrivent.com user name and password to access and complete the application. Applications should be made at least 21 days before the project so the company can deliver a Thrivent action kit to facilitate the project.

Within three to five days, applicants receive an email notifying

them whether their projects are approved.

If the project is approved, an applicant will receive a $250 Visa credit card intended as seed money.

The idea is that money will be used to generate more funds toward the member’s cause, Duesterbeck said.

The $250 can’t simply be gifted or granted, it must be used to kick start the project.

“The idea is to multiply itself,” Duesterbeck said.

Members can lead up to two projects per year.
