CHAPTER 15:   
 
Hello Altrusans!
 
We had great success yesterday and lots of fun with one of our Club's major projects - Kids Against Hunger. Thank you to the dozens of volunteers who came out and brought family members with you! We had kids, spouses, friends, grandkids, and  ASTRA represented. I'm so proud to share with you all the total meals prepared yesterday surpassed 13,000!!! Way to go! As was announced during the event, more than 9,000 of those meals will go to the Hunger House Ministry in Juarez, Mexico with the remainder being retained here in Bell County to be used for other needs as they come up. What a huge impact you all had in just a few hours to assist in an area of great need.  Scroll down below to see a few photos from the event this weekend. 
 
The Scholarship Committee requests your help spreading the word that applications are now being accepted through March 31st!  Applications may be found and submitted on our website at AltrusaTemple.org 
Eligibility: Applicant must be a resident of Bell County or a dependent of a Temple Altrusa member, must have at least a 3.0 GPA, and must be planning to attend or is presently attending a college or university within the State of Texas. 
 
Also - another reminder if you've not already done so, please fill out the Mid-Year survey sent by President-Elect Brenda Hill. She is using this tool to help make plans as she prepares for her year of presidency and it is a very important way to learn from our members what is useful to you and what we can improve upon. Please complete the survey by Wednesday. The survey link can be found here.
