Every year, Temple College invites scholarship recipients and donors to a reception held at the Pavillion on campus. This is an opportunity for donors and recipients to meet one another at the beginning of the new year. Attendence is approximately 350. 

The foundation plans, prepares, decorates and sets up for the event. Because the event has grown in size, there is a need for volunteers to assist with registration upon arrival, greeting and cleanup. The event is held from 4pm to 5pm, so arriving by 3:15pm will allow time to receive instructions. Cleanup should not last very long. 

Please see attached for a map and directions about parking. 

Taste of the Holidays invitation stuffing. Please bring a snack to share and your beverage of choice.

Come out and help clean up the shore area at Lake Belton. Please be sure to wear closed toe walking shoes/boots and sun/bug protection. Bring work gloves along.

Water and snacks will be provided. 

Afterward, volunteers are invited to meet at Cedar Ridge Park at Cove Pavillion for a cookout and awards after trash pickup at approximately 4/4:30 pm.  

Directions: Take 2305 West toward Temple Lake Park then left on Arrowhead Point and follow to boat ramp.

Day of Caring is an annual event sponsored by United Way of Central Texas. Volunteers around the community gather together and are sent out to participate in projects at non-profit agencies in our area. We could be cleaning, organizing, beautifying or doing some other type of assistance. It is a fun and gratifying day to see so many people working together in our comunity. Plus, it's a way for our community to be aware of Altrusa and what we do.

The day of the event is October 4, but we are required to register by September 14. Please click on this link to sign up on UWCT - https://fundraise.givesmart.com/form/BJJFKg?vid=161z26

Altrusans will meet at Central Texas Christian School in the cafeteria at 8:30 AM. We are asking for volunteers to help oversee the students as the assemble and prep the bags for delivery.

The tentative plan is to the leave the school around 9:30-10:00 AM and head to the Belton Community Center. Afterwards, we will head to the Belton Senior Center to drop off the assembled bags.

Unfortunately, Belton Senior Housing has requested that we just drop off the bags. No person-to-person delivery will be happening.
