March, 2015 -
Governor’s Message
We come to another wonderful time of year with the anticipation of our Altrusa District Ten
Conference. It is fitting that our Conference is scheduled in the Spring when we witness new life and with
that comes a renewed love for Altrusa. This Conference will be full of ideas to help us recruit members,
raise money, have effective meetings and get members involved and most importantly—have FUN being
Altrusans!
Roswell is working very hard to make this Conference very special!
“Putting the
Pieces Together” is a perfect theme for what we have planned. All the “pieces” you will take home will give us new ideas to
strengthen our abilities to continue “Leading to a Better Community” within District Ten. Our special presenter Jean Block is a
renowned educator and author, and it is never boring with Jean around! Jean is informative, interesting, high energy and most
importantly, fun! Jean’s aim is to give us practical tools to enhance our Clubs’ management through workshops you will just love.
We are so pleased to welcome Diane Eberhard, a member of Altrusa International of Sikeston, MO, in District Eight as our
International Representative. There are many things happening on the International front and this will be our opportunity to first
-hand gather information and get questions answered. We are also fortunate to have the International Foundation Board of
Trustees Chair Connie McIntire as part of District Ten with her wealth of knowledge too. This is definitely the Conference not to
be missed!
As you have read before I have focused on five ideals and this Conference is designed to give us knowledge and strength in
reaching them:





Making Altrusa relevant to our communities
Be willing to change – to adapt to the needs of our communities and our members
Diversifying membership to embrace new ideas
Utilizing online resources
Including professional development opportunities
Inside This Issue
So as I come to the close of my biennium, I want to thank every Altrusan for your work in
serving your community, for your dedication to service and for spreading the joys of being an
Altrusan. Please join us in Roswell and meet new friends, revel in seeing old friends, and come
ready to take back some new ideas for your Clubs.

Another Sad Report
It is with a very saddened heart that I relay to you that Altrusa International of Colorado Springs has disband stating that, “We are
grateful for the lifelong friends we have made within District Ten and our own Club.” This decision did not come without a lot of
deliberation and reservation, but after all was said and done, the six members felt this was in the best interest of all. Those ladies did
not disband without designating $500.00 to continue the Ethel Fritch Literacy Award for ten years, as well as another $500.00 for new
Club building. They also distributed another $5,850.00 to their favorite projects. These are true Altrusans!
It is with great pleasure that we welcome to our family these
New District Ten Altrusans. We hope to welcome each of you
personally at Conference. Your membership in Altrusa will
be enhanced by your commitment, and our District will be
enhanced by your membership!
Welcome!!
