From the Director's Chair

By Executive Director Tom Welch


Dear friends in Christ,


We are rolling up to the end of the month with final (and constant) preparation for the National Conference next week in Baltimore. You will see in this edition the times of our Facebook Live feed so that you may join for special event speakers as well as the Opening and Closing Eucharists. We covet your prayers as these events unfold before us. Special thanks to our Office Manager Libby Craven for the extra time and efforts required for this task. It is a joy for both of us to help bring it all together.

In our next edition we will be hearing from our 31st National President, Roy Benavides, with his hopes and vision for the new term ahead. Please be in prayer for the leadership team being developed within the new board of directors.



As important, if not more so, prayers are requested for the new diocesan coordinators throughout the country that will be selected in the term ahead. We can be no stronger or more effective than the field leadership at the diocesan levels. There remain many spots across the map all of us would like to see come to life again. Thank you in advance for those prayers as well.


Beneath the conference schedule in this edition of LLA you will find the link for Facebook Live sessions of the convention for Opening and Closing Eucharists as well as our special guest speakers.

'Teddy Roosevelt' Keynote Speaker at Triennial

Joe Wiegand is the world's premiere Theodore Roosevelt re-enactor. As an actor and historian, his portrayals of Theodore Roosevelt have been enjoyed by audiences in all 50 states and internationally.


Joe is a political science graduate of The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. After a stint in graduate school, he launched his own business as a political campaign consultant and public policy expert. Joe served six years as a member of the DeKalb County, Illinois Board of Commissioners and was working in public policy and running election campaigns when he began performing as Theodore Roosevelt in 2002.


In 2008, Joe, his wife Jenny, daughter Sam, and golden retriever Faith, traveled across America in celebration of Theodore Roosevelt's 150th birthday and the centennial year of Roosevelt's historic presidency. Performances at the White House and Roosevelt’s New York City birthplace highlighted the 50-state adventure. Joe has been featured as President Roosevelt in “The Men Who Built America” on the History Channel, served as the model for the newest Roosevelt sculpture at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, and has a feature role in “National Parks Adventure,” an IMAX film about our national parks.


Today, the Wiegands live in Medora, North Dakota, gateway to the Roosevelt National Park, where Joe works for the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation. Joe is a 31-year member of Rotary International and a member of the National Association for Interpretation. See www.teddyrooseveltshow.com and www.medora.com
