Celebrating a Centenary of Service
President Silvia has appointed a Centenary Committee who have been charged with coordinating Altrusa’s 100th Birthday celebrations. 11th April 2017 is a special day and we are hoping that clubs and districts will look at ways that Altrusans around the world can celebrate this achievement. Each district has a representative on the committee which is chaired by President Elect Leanne Milligan.
The Centenary Committee are working on a tool kit with resources that clubs and districts can use. Work is underway on developing a range of anniversary merchandise as well as a coffee table book celebrating 100 years of service. The committee do need your help! If anyone has graphic design, copy writing or editing skills and would like to help with the coffee table book and other documents please can they let our Governor know?
Also the committee are seeking photos/documents celebrating service and events from the past 100 years that could be included in the coffee table book or other promotional materials for the tool kit. If you would like to submit something please can you email it to moorelindac@yahoo.com . Submissions need to be made electronically with the highest resolution that you can get for photos, scanned photos/documents. We would like you to keep the originals.
The committee are also collating information on Altrusans who have achieved recognition outside of Altrusa, in their professions and communities. As part of the celebrations we would like to recognize these Altrusa leaders. If you have a brief bio/photo on current and past Altrusans that we could recognize please can you also forward these to moorelindac@yahoo.com.
At Conference we will be presenting an update on the Centenary Plans and also be providing updates in future issues for the DSB so now is the time to start planning. What is your club going to do? Let me know so that we can include your event on the Centenary Celebration Calendar.
