Welcome to the Altrusa International District Two Service Newsletter
On November 22nd, several members volunteered at the Mayflower Marathon - sponsored by the Food Bank of Southeast, VA. We sorted food, collected turkeys and non-perisable food items. We also cheered on those who kindly donated food for those in need. This is an annual event that continues for over 24 hours!
Tidewater has been working hard to create a Sensory Garden at the Jones & Cabacoy Veterans Care Center in Virginia Beach. We began working with this new facility a few years back by planting donated pansies from our annual Fall Plant Sale. This project grew to creating a Sensory Garden for dementia and memory loss patients. With our Foundation Grant, and other donations, our members have finished the fall planting phase and will continue in the spring!
