District Ten AltruNews District Ten Call to Conference www.districtten.altrusa.org 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.
