Winter Meeting Update

 At our last meeting we discussed changing the time and day of our meetings. Winter is here and since many of our members travel a distance to attend our meeting it was decided to change to a noontime meeting. We have been meeting on Tuesdays but since the library has a minor conflict at noon, it was decided to meet the first Monday of the month for our January, February and March meetings We will assess at the March meeting whether or not to make this a permanent time change.

 January 3, February7, March 7. The Board will provide a pizza lunch for the January meeting.

 

Santa's Cookie Elves sharing their goodies

 Merry Merry to one and all. It is wonderful to be able to share our talents with our communities and and honor to be able to serve them in a variety of ways. 

Santa's cookie elves hard at work creating platters of home baked treats. Although tempting, not a cookie was taken by the elves. Platters were delivered to 

Conway Police Department, Conway Vet, Starting Point, White Mountain Community Health Center, Gibson Center, Mineral Springs, Merriman House, North Conway Fire Department, The Waystation, Adult Day Center, Ossipee nursing home and the Madison library. Everyone was so appreciative of our efforts.


 

Fall workshop focus on Membership

Members Diane, Nancy, Barb, Pat, Cathy and Ruth attended the District One Fall workshop to have fun and learn more about how to retain and gain new members. Our group had some terrific ideas such as new member gathering, fun activities during the summer  and inviting friends to help us in our volunteer events.

                               Members of Carroll County, Laconia and Meredith clubs invite their Altrusa sisters to come to April Conference which will be held in North Conway. Their jingle asking Altrusa to come help search for Bruce the moose who is on the loose was well received.
