Altrusa Mission Statement |
|
| We are a group of community minded citizens who
build networks of friends and community through fellowship and
service to others as a group, what individuals cannot do alone. |
|
| |
|
Club Focus |
| Literacy, Women and Children affected by
domestic abuse. |
|
| |
|
|
How can Altrusa benefit you? |
|
| In addition to the satisfaction of contributing
through service, Altrusa offers its members many other personal
benefits as well. Many Altrusans have found that the skills and
abilities required and developed through their involvement in
Altrusa has helped them in their careers. |
|
| |
|
| There are intangible benefits as well.
Membership in an organization that draws its members from a wide
diversity of professional backgrounds provides a stimulating
opportunity to share experiences, views, and concerns with other
active, vital and interesting people from around the world. Altrusa
is a place for fun and fellowship, too! |

Community Service Projects |
|
Our club assesses community needs each year and each member has the
opportunity to have input into our giving process. In the past, our
club has helped to meet some of the many community needs. Service
Projects planned for the upcoming year include: Care Kits for women
and children seeking a safe haven from abuse. Back packs for
children to start the school year. Learning Activity Bags for
children who arrive at victim assistance shelters. Sweat suits for
rape victims at hospitals. |

|
Fundraising Events |
|
We have three major fundraising events throughout the year. The
largest effort is the Wine, Chocolate and More Festival. Our second
event is the sale of wrapping paper products during the holidays.
Finally, hosting a fun evening at Moon Fall Theater brings in the
rest of our clubs funds. |
