Community Outreach Committee is bringing back the Pillow Project to wrap up this club year of service in a big way! Join us to help create 100 pillowcases for New Beginnings Women Shelter. Our goal is to provide 25 girl, 25 boy, and 50 adult pillowcases and we can use your help!

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!! A representative from New Beginning Center will be arriving around 7:30pm to join our party, make a short presenation about New Beginning Center, and receive (a portion of) our pillow donation. Please make plans to be present during this time!
 
For those less crafty, Community Outreach is partnering with Education Committee to assemble 24 Summer Enrichment Activity Backpack for select students at Terrace Elementary.  

AND... Community Outreach is also partnering with International Relations Committee as well to help celebrate May as Military Appreciation Month by writing note cards of appreciation to Military personnel.
 

As this is a three Committee collaborative effort, we will have several stations/areas set up at Friends Place:

A. Community Outreach - Pillowcase Creation Station (create, decorate, and iron pillowcases)

B. Education - Summer Enrichment Backpack Station (assemble backpacks)

C. International Relations - Military Appreciation Station (write cards to military personnel)

D. Community Outreach - Teddy Bear Collection (Optional: Stuffed animal donations are going to Collin County Children's Advocacy Center)

E. Community Outreach - NETWORK Collection (Optional: donations of canned meats along with diapers (purchased with budget money) and toiletry items will be donated to NETWORK of Community Ministries.)

 

Members are asked to help with the following:

1. Bring a food and/or beverage item to share at the party.  BYOB!!!!! and Bring a SNACK to share!

2. Bring a pillowcase (or two or three) to help us reach our goal of 100 pillowcases (Carolyn and Ernestine have sewn many of them but if we can exceed our goal that would be great!)

3. Bring items to decorate the pillow cases (fabric paints or iron-ons, etc.) whatever you happen to have on hand - no need to go out and buy anything

4. OPTIONAL Donation(s): If you have any toiletry items, stuffed animals, and/or canned meats, please bring them as well

5. Have a great time with your Altrusa Sisters in Service!

 

If you are not able to attend the whole evening, please at least stop by for a few minutes to say hello and sign a military card of appreciation.

Committee members will provide a few snacks and attendees may bring anything else to share. BYOB!!
 
Please help us celebrate another great year of Leading to a Better Community®!
