Greeters and Accents for Altrusa Meetings

We will be assemblying 400 hygiene bags, split between female and male, for the Children's Advocacy Center of Central Texas. There will be a tour and description of the facility.  

Hopefully you can participate. 

As a way to thank the Ralph Wilson Youth Club for all ways they support our club, we are excited to volunteer at their 2nd Annual Clay Shoot. We will need to arrive by 3:00pm to receive our instructions before the event begins at 3:30pm. We will be helping will many aspects such as registration, meal service, and helping at the shooting stations. Please sign up if you are able to attend. Our members who volunteered at last year's event had a great time! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Mark your calendars for the last 5th Tuesday social of the Altrusa year and you don't want to miss it!  Join us at the Grand Avenue Theater in Belton for dinner and a movie / STEEL MAGNOLIAS party with your fellow Altrusans.  We have reserved the small theater just for our group, movie is free and will begin at 6:00 p.m.  Feel free to come early and purchase food or drinks from theater cafe as they have a full-service kitchen, Starbucks coffees, Blue Bell ice cream, pizza, popcorn, candy and many more items to purchase.  Feel free to dress like your favorite Steel Magnolias character especially if it's in Blush or Bashful colors (optional)! 

Hope to see you all there!

Join us for a fun and inspiring evening at our Altrusa President’s Retreat, where every member is an important piece of the puzzle! Just like a jigsaw puzzle, our club is strongest when each person brings their unique talents, ideas, and heart for service to the table. We’ll spend the evening brainstorming exciting new project ideas, exploring committees and ways you can get involved, enjoying fellowship with friends, and sharing great food and laughter along the way. Whether you’re a longtime member or newly connected to Altrusa, this will be a relaxed and welcoming night to connect, contribute, and help shape the year ahead — one puzzle piece at a time!
