President's Message

Altrusa Newsletter, Issue No. 34, February 10, 2017

 

          At our board meeting this week three new membership applications were approved. Also, two projects were approved and will be presented to the membership at our regular business meeting Tuesday, February 14th. We will be electing our five delegates for the April District Nine Conference in Waco. It's sure to be a meeting you will not want to miss.

          Thanks to Sherri Woytek, two tickets to the Caring Ball were given away in a drawing of interested Altrusans and the winner is Olivia Haisler. Olivia and a guest will be able to attend The Caring Ball tomorrow. THANK YOU, SHERRI! and CONGRATUALTIONS, OLIVIA! 

          Our Conference Packet for the District Nine Conference in Waco can be accessed by clicking on the link. There is a ton of information including the schedule of events. Please complete the registration form and send it in if you are planning on attending. This conference is being sponsored by Temple Altrusa so you know it is going to be an exciting and fun event. If you were unable to book a hotel reservation at the Hilton in Waco, there is a alternate hotel available. The Marriott Courtyard in Waco has a great rate for Altrusans. 

          If you plan to attend, please email or text Debbie Fendrick to let her know which nights you're staying and your roommate's name.  If you need a roommate, tell Debbie. Because we are hosting conference, and it's in close proximity, there may be some that plan to drive back and forth and not stay overnight in Waco.  Would those folks also let Debbie know your plans so we can include you in events and work schedules? 

          A BIG THANK YOU to Chip Howell and Judy Morgan for spending hours on Altrusa Archives; getting them in order and cleaning out the old, outdated information. Thanks, Chip and Judy!

 

Thank you ALL for all you do for our community!

Club 21 - Altrusa International Foundation

           If you would like to contribute to Club 21 (Altrusa Foundation), Kathy Folley  is still collecting. Club 21 is an awesome way for us to donate  just $21 each year to the Altrusa Foundation. The money we donate goes into a fund that is distributed back to Altrusa Clubs all over the World for  worthy projects. Altrusa International of Temple, TX. Inc. has been a recipient of one of those grants with Camp Dreamcatcher a couple of years ago.  Your dollars are tax deductible if you choose and you can be well assured that your hard-earned money is going to a good cause. AND besides all of  that, you get a really cool Club 21 pin to wear.

          Please consider a contribution. It is not mandatory that you contribute each year, but once you see all of the worthy grants the foundation funds,  you will more than likely want to continue. THANK YOU for your consideration in support of this worthy foundation. Kathy will have forms at our meetings  in October, but I have attached the link to the form if you want to print it and bring it to a meeting with your $21.
