Getting Crafty

Our District One Altrusa Clubs will gather in Maine from April 21-23. Our District includes clubs from Maine, NH, Ma, Connecticut, Bermuda and Quebec. Every year we gather to hear the business of the district, see new and old friends and share ideas for projects. One fun  event is the fundraising fair where each club has a a table offering a variety of items for sale. Proceeds go the individual club. Club members gathered to complete etched glassware and a variety of decorative plant pots. Even those of us who are crafty challenged  (author included) had a a terrific time.  Thanks to Barb and Nancy for leading us in all things crafty!!!

 

Service to others

Our group is always looking ways to help and serve others. Our newest volunteer opportunity is as lunch servers for our local Gibson Senior Center. Every month a group of us arrive to set up and serve one of the delicious lunches that is served. April was our first month and the guests loved seeing the smiling faces and blue Altrusa aprons. They really appreciated that we wore our Altrusa name tags !

 Got Sneakers is a way to recycle sneakers and make some money. Our recycling helped  Ginger, a local pup who had some serious health issues and needs. What a great way to recycle and help a local cause.

 Our membership committee has been hard at work creating a plan to educate people about Altrusa. At the April Conference we will be receiving  our "Ask me about Altrusa!" buttons to wear when we attend events such as our upcoming Habitat for Humanity Women's Build day in May. They have also reviewed our brochure adding  our new QR code. Finally check out the ad below which appeared in the Conway Daily Sun.
