President's Message

          Another busy week for Altrusa of Temple, TX, Inc. The Make A Difference Day bookshelves are finished and they look adorable. They will be a great addition to The Well at Feed My Sheep. I hope you are planning to come out to Feed My Sheep on Saturday, October 22nd to see the accomplishments of our great team. The address is 613 South 3rd Street in Temple.

         We had an initiation of three new members at our business meeting Tuesday. Please join me in welcoming Sharon Long, Celeste Traylor, and Dee Kerr.

          The Taste of The Holidays is right around the corner and Shirley Ewing and her team are busy rounding up spare hands to assist with all of the chores that make for an awesome fundraiser. The closer it gets to November 17th, the more excited we get. It is truly amazing to see what a team of Altrusans can deliver on that day.

          For our Make A Difference Day we already have 200 strung bags, 200 baby socks, 200 snuggly toys, 22 baby blankies, 66 knit baby caps, 3 pair of knit booties, 239 books, (17 for women, 66 for school age, and 156 for preschool), 1 classroom rug, 2 adorable bookcases, 2 donated clothing racks, and approximately 3 closets of donated clothes. We are truly going to make a difference in the lives of  folks in our community.

          Your board is pleased to announce that $1.00 for each member of Altrusa International of Temple, TX. Inc., will be donated to the Altrusa Centennial Project from our administrative budget. The Centennial Committee requested 100 pennies from each Altrusan.

 

          Thank you to all who participated in donating items for our Make A Difference Day. You are so very generous and we are overwhelmed with gratitude for your generosity.  

          Thank you for all you do for our community and THANK YOU for allowing me to serve you!

         

Have a great week!
