Business Meeting ~ June 13, 2017

Well, I've got the first Board meeting and the first Club meeting behind me, whew! I been told the nerves will settle down soon. I'm not sure if it's nerves or true excitement! Nerves can settle down, but I don't want the excitement of this year to ever settle down. We've got so many projects to do, so many members to engage, such an amazing community to help, and we do it with skill, determination, knowledge, and most of all ~ fun!

If you have a project idea, please submit it on the Project Proposal form to Julie Ruiz, Service Committee Chair by Friday, June 30. This will give the committee time to review and submit to me for inclusion on the Board meeting agenda. Remember, the project can be scheduled for Fall, Winter or next Spring, if you have an idea submit it soon to secure the necessary funds to support it.

Four new Altrusans were initiated at our Business meeting on June 13th. We welcome Ami Hooper, sponsored by Dorothy Granfor and Barb Sorge; Audrei Glick, sponsored by Julie Ruiz and Mary Beth Kauk; Gabrielle Parkey, sponsored by Sylvia Winkler and Cyndi Woytek; and Ande Scott, sponsored by Traci Squarcette and Julie Ruiz. Ms. Scott is a UMBH graduate and former ASTRA member. We're so happy to have each of you join us and become Altrusans!
