Happy Birthday Altrusa!!!

Today we honor the memory of our founder, Mamie L. Bass, as we celebrate 96 years of service as Altrusans!  From those hopeful beginnings in Nashville where the first Altrusa Club was formed under the leadership of Mamie Bass in 1917, Altrusa  has grown to be an international force for good, consisting now of close to 400 Clubs with nearly 10,000 members!

 

Happily, we continue to realize Mamie Bass's vision.  To quote her:

 

 What we have already achieved is magnificent. But Altrusa is not static; it is dynamic. New fields shall open unto us and we will achieve new goals of helpfulness.
