Hello fellow Altrusans!
It doesn't seem possible that March is here!  When March arrives I always think of flowers blooming for Spring, Daylight Saving Time begins this Sunday and March Madness!! We have so many wonderful projects and activities in Altrusa right now, we have our own flowers blooming and March Madness!  And how fun is that?
 
 
Tomorrow our business meeting will be filled with;
  • Three exciting projects will be presented for Altrusans to consider.
  • We will initiate a new Altrusan - Donna Ward! 
  • We will elect Club and Foundation Board members to serve for 2022-2023
  • We will review Policies and ByLaws - proposed updates and changes. To be voted on at the April 12, Business meeting.
  • Immediately after our Business meeting we will package the goodie items for the project "Altrusa Loves Our ER Nurses" 
Please check the club calendar for more events, projects, socials, etc! 
In closing I hope that you and yours are well! Thank you Altrusan's for serving and making a positive impact in our community and beyond! 
See you on Tuesday at the Business meeting!
