Hello Altrusans!  Hope everyone is safe and well.  I think about our members often and feel blessed that as a group we have stayed COVID 19 free.  I have finally had things in my life settle down  into my new normal.  My husband Jeff is still working his job but we have been enjoying evenings and weekends at home.  He has been busy planting a vegetable garden with squash, cucumbers and enough tomato plants to feed an army.  We have enjoyed evenings on the back porch watching the humming birds, cardinals and one blue jay.  My hope is that each of you have been able to experience some joy and the positive that this time may bring. Our Governor of Texas has opened Texas up starting May1st with a phase one.  This will allow us to figure out a way we can meet as a group ( safe and according to guidelines) for our May Business meeting.  ZOOM as been great but with my last meeting as President coming up in May I really wanted to see everyone's face and it looks like my prayers have been answered. We will find a way to make it happen so stay turned.  Tomorrow we will celebrate just a few of our  amazing Past Altrusan's of the Year.  Join us as we listen to their stories about what Altrusa means to them and their lives.  Until we meet again my friends.
