Altrusa District One Conference

What a great time we had at our District One Spring Conference on April 29 & 30!  Our 3 New Hampshire Clubs served as hosts for the 60th Conference held at the White Mountain Hotel in North Conway.  Members helped by creating centerpieces, favors and welcome bags for the 113 attendees and helped to facilitate the presentations.  Our International President, Sylvia Silverman of Maryland joined us to share information about all the work Altrusa International is doing to streamline communication, the service projects done at the International level and Club 21.  Workshops were offered on Grant Writing and managing an Effective Meeting.  It was great getting to know some of our other Altrusa sisters from distant clubs.  Attendees had some free time to shop, hike and travel to the historic Mt. Washington Hotel for tea, guided by some of our own members.  Saturday night we laughed for over an hour as we were entertained by Rebecca Rule, noted New Hampshire storyteller.  We all agreed that we are looking forward to next year's Conference hosted by the Northeast Connecticut Club and to be held in Mystic, CT.
