Altrusa participates in Volunteer Fair

Several Altrusa members talked to community members looking for volunteer opportunities at the 2nd annual Volunteer Fair sponsored by the Montrose Library on September 26, 2009.  President Roberta Hoey, 1st Vice President Diane Winger, Alice Vest, and BJ Vinson-Neeld told participants about numerous Altrusa projects, including Lifeline, Love Hug Bears, Buddy Bags, Tender Touch Turbans, and Pennies for Peace.

The Fair offered our club an opportunity not only to talk to prospective Altrusa members, but also to answer a question we're sometimes asked:  What is Altrusa?  Some people who stopped by know our name because of Altrusa Park, or have seen our name in the paper, but don't realize the broad range of service projects, scholarships, and grants we provide.
