CALL TO CONFERENCE
IN TOUCH SPECIAL EDITION
FEBRUARY 2013
GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE Muncie Altrusans, our hosts for the 57th District Conference, are expecting you all representatives from the 39 clubs to enjoy your weekend of fun, fellowship, workshops, and networking. Muncie Club found a beautiful and centrally located Conference Center at the Renaissance Indianapolis North Hotel in Carmel, Indiana. It is a convenient location to access places of interest around Indianapolis. At this Conference we will be installing the incoming District Board and Toni Ellis Committee Chairs. Come and join us in welcoming Altrusans who are willing to give their time and talent to our District. Muncie Club has planned a special tour to learn more about Mamie L. Bass, the founder of the Altrusa Institute (now known as Altrusa International, Inc.), to visit her resting place at Crown Hill Cemetery. Also, you will have opportunities to visit with Dona Garretson, our International President. Look over this publication for the program schedule and you will find workshops that may benefit you. We will be thrilled to see you: delegates, alternates, and members from all 39 District clubs. Many of you who have hosted a conference know how hard it is to plan a successful and memorable event. These annual events are planned to give everyone a voice from all clubs, discuss issues, and vote for the continuity of our Altrusa District and International administrations. Come and let’s have sharing and learning time together. “None of us is as smart as all of us” by Ken Blanchard.
