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. AND the Blessing Bedtime Bags that will be going to Hope Pregnancy Center.
We found out late last week that The Well will not be ready for us to install the bookcases, mirror and clothes racks due to illness of the person(s) doing the work to get it ready. But...Susan and her wonderful team came up with an awesome Plan B...Are you ready for this...All available Altrusans will meet at the Temple Public Library at 9:00 am Saturday, October 22nd (Make A Difference Day around the World) to place the items in the Bedtime Bags that are going to Hope Pregnancy Center. A presentation to the center will take place at the Library around 10:30 or when the bags are finished.
THEN...We will venture out to Barb's Barn for refreshments to celebrate the completion of the bookcases and view the area with the rug, table and chairs as it will appear at The Well once it is completed. As of October 6th we have logged 194.5 volunteer hours for MADD. WOW!
Please join your fellow Altrusans for as much time as you can give up on this Saturday! AND wear your Altrusa shirt or Name tag.
Don't forget to mark your calendar for our Program Meeting, Tuesday, Octaober 25th. Suzanne Amour with Families in Crisis will be our guest speaker.
