Pumpkin spice is in the air, the 100 degree days are behind us (hopefully), and our Altrusa calendar is bursting with opportunities to serve, connect, and have a little fun! From meetings and service projects to socials and our beloved Taste of the Holidays, there are plenty of ways to find where your puzzle piece fits.

Our October program meeting will feature the amazing Taste Team, who will share all the exciting plans coming together for this year's event. As our club's one and only fundraiser of the year, Taste of the Holidays takes all of us working together to make the magic happen! The team will have plenty of ways for everyone to pitch in, so come ready to discover your perfect fit. Whether you love cooking, decorating, greeting guests, selling tickets, or helping behind the scenes, there's a place for you!

Our Edge Pieces had a fabulous fall social enjoying Musical Bingo at BeeMaRosa Winery! The Heart Pieces and Bridge Pieces have their socials planned, and the Corner Pieces will be finalizing their plans soon. Please make every effort to attend your group’s social. These smaller gatherings are such a great way to get to know one another better, enjoy some fellowship, and build friendships beyond our regular meetings. Sometimes the best connections happen around a table, over a little laughter, and with a few members who might not have had the chance to visit otherwise.

As we head into this busy season, remember that every piece matters, and every helping hand makes a difference. So grab your favorite fall beverage, check your calendar, and get ready for a season full of fellowship, service, and holiday excitement!
