Fall Projects

 At our November meeting along with initiating new members, we had guest speaker Katie Young from Believe in Books and an update from Deb Weinstein of Starting Point. Donations were given to both organizations.

Deb and Beth show the food donations for Starting Point's Grace House Kitchen

Comfort bags for Grace House  include personal care items and a note of encouragement

This donation should help the Journey to the North pole Program


Welcome New Members

On November 1, our club welcomed to new members, Theresa and Juanita. Last spring member Pat McCoy met Theresa when she went to register to vote. Theresa, new to the area inquired about various opportunities and pat filled her in on the work Altrusa does in Carroll County. Theresa jumped right in and was initiated at this November meeting. Juanita is a neighbor of Nancy Spaulding. Juanita has been impressed by Altrusa and also visited several meetings got involved in a project and also officially joined us. The number one way to increase membership is by personal invitation.
