Camp Dreamcatcher Registration
In a short 2 weeks we will be busy registering the precious children that are going to Camp Dreamcatcher for 2017!  Altrusan volunteers please be at Scott & White ready to get to work by 7:30 am on Sunday, June 25.  Please wear your blue ALTRUSA shirt, your teal BELIEVE shirt, or the new lime green CATCH THE DREAM shirt that was made for District Nine conference.
 
There will be many jobs to be done during registration, from welcoming the children and families, to loading their luggage onto the buses, to passing out tons of snacks, to helping them sign Thank You cards. 
 
For our newest members, Camp Dreamcatcher is a week long camp for children with blood disorders that are currently being treated at McLane"s Children's hospital.  These children, surrounded by others just like them, have activities scheduled all week to help make them feel normal, feel safe, and feel special.
 
$ DUES ARE DUE $
Please make sure you get your renewal dues to Kelli by Tuesday at our Business meeting. She will receive your dues and pay your International and District dues.  The deadline for International dues is June 15th, after that date there is a $10 late fee imposed by International.
Patsy Sulak
Our heartfelt condolences to Patsy Sulak and Jeff Waxman in the sudden death of Patsy's 94 year old father.  Mr. Albert Sulak was a WWII veteran, a loved father, brother, grandfather to 16 children and great grandfather to 22. He was also respected by many in his community and church.
