At our usual 4th Thursday of the month, a group of us arrived at Kennett Middle School to pack bags of food for area students for the End 68-Hours of Hunger Project. This week we packed 60 bags which will be distributed to the area schools for children in need. This is an important service project during which we can chat and socialize at a safe distance.
We had a fun time at the Tamworth Farmer's Market on Saturday, September 19th. It was a bright and sunny day with Diane, Cathy B., Kathy S., Ellen, Nancy, Cindy, Ruth, and Peg setting up and working the booth. Members of the Altrusa Meredith Club stopped by and it was fun to connect with them. Thank you to all who baked, sewed, crafted and donated! It was a great success with a total of $570.75 in sales and donations. Shall we do this again?
It was a perfect day for an ice cream! Many thanks to Trails End Ice Cream Shop for supporting Altrusa of Carroll County by providing us with a Cones for a Cause benefit. Not only did we receive donations, we also received a percentage of all ice cream sold today - and it was a perfect, hot end-of-summer day! And what delicious ice cream they have! We also provided free early reader books to all the children who came, which prompted questions about our literacy programs from the parents.
