Join Altrusa of Sherman and
Get Involved!
Altrusa is, first and foremost, a

across the country raise money for local charities and so much more.
Inspired by Thoreau, Mamie L. Bass
put it best when she said, "It is not enough to be good; Altrusans must be good for something."

seemed this day would be an eternity away. On
April 17th Pat Falk, Barbara Sloan and I
attended the District Conference, I searched the
Internet, read several Altrusa articles and
perused lots of information. Our home has since
