Thrivent: Thrivent has changed how it administers Choice Dollars.  Formerly, only certain policy type members were rewarded with Choice Dollars.  Now all policy types are rewarded.  Choice Dollars were given out quarterly.  Now all are given out mid-April.  (Some of you may have received an email stating that your dollars were ready for designation.)  Unlike in the past when the deadline for designating your Dollars was March 31, the deadline is now December 31.  More information is available at thrivent.com/thriventchoice.
