Fall Happenings

Fall has gotten off to a great start in our Altrusa Club! One of our ongoing projects is to put together "graduation" baskets for women completing courses at the Emergency Support Shelton. To help start them set up housekeeping, we put together a laundry basket full of essential supplies such as paper towels, cleanser, sponges, dish and laundry soap, toothpaste and so on. Since July of this year we have supplied 13 baskets - wow! This is one of the needed community projects our fundraising supports.

And speaking of fundraising, we will soon begin taking orders for gorgeous poinsettias which will be delivered right around Thanksgiving time. What better way to support our community than to order florist-grade poinsettias from us that you'd probably be buying somewhere anyway? This way, you know that funds are going to help people in our community, plus you get the added bonus of absolutely beautiful plants that are definitely suitable for gifts. More information on that project coming soon.
