In exactly two weeks, conference will begin.

Joanne, Ellen and the committee have worked really hard and it’s going to be amazing and I’m so proud of all of us.

Please start collecting your service hours for April 2022 to March 31, 2023, and submit on the Service Hours form (see below).  I will be submitting this and other information for the 2022-23 Club Annual Report.

Altrusa’s birthday was April 11th and we’re 106 years old. Let’s plan a party for our birthday and to celebrate our hard work for conference in May!

I look forward to seeing you at our Monday, April 17th meeting.  If you cannot attend, please let me know.

See you Monday night!

Reading to Green Run kindergarteners will continue through the end of the school year. Club volunteers are needed every Friday from 11:45 to 12:40. Please sign up to help at our April meeting or contact Joanne.

Planting help

Friday, April 21 the students are planning on planting radishes in the garden and the teachers need our help. The beds are tilled and ready to plant so our duties are mostly supervisory.  Please sign up at the meeting to help or contact  Joanne.

Teacher appreciation

Teacher appreciation is the second weekend in May. We will be providing baskets of apples and bananas for the teachers to enjoy as well as some snacks. We are asking members to please bring packages of individual snacks to our April meeting. We will be delivering the goodies on May 8th. Let’s show these hard-working teachers how much they are appreciated!

Sincerely,

Joanne and June
