Wow, what an amazing week we've had yet again! Started the week at First Baptist Church gym packaging the hygiene kits for 1,400 deserving children of Belton and Academy School Districts. These kits included a full bottle of shampoo, bar of soap, washcloth, and information about the Lena Armstrong Public Library in Belton. In many cases, this is the only full size bottle of shampoo these children get per year! At many of the assistance locations, the family is given a water bottle size amount of shampoo to share. We are truly blessed to be able to be a part of this ongoing, terrific project, Project Appletree.
I hope you joined us Tuesday evening as we had our District Visitor, Frances Dalby, work along side us. She is from the Greenville Altrusa Club and is a Director on the District Board. She arrived early and got right to work. She was a great help on the line and gave us some helpful ideas after the work was complete.
Altrusans ended the week with another favorite project over many years, Sweet Dreams of Success at the Families in Crisis facility in Temple. After ten years, the rooms needed renovation so the rooms were cleaned out, cleaned up, and painted on Friday. All new beds were assembled on Saturday and new linens were put in place. The staff, residents, and the Temple Community are so proud to see this renovation complete.
Thank you Altrusans for your love of service;-)
