Altrusa is all about Service.
Many of us like to know what other clubs are doing to
provide service to their communities. Following are
brief summaries of the Mamie
L. Bass Service Award and Letha
H. Brown Literacy Award entries that were submitted
for the 2007 competition.
These are just a smattering of the
many projects carried out by the Clubs of District One.
If you would like to share your Club's project online
please email a brief summary to altrusaservice@gmail.com.
