Altrusa Capital City of Virginia

Last evening we spent time reminiscing about family holiday traditions. Then, for fun
we took this candid shot.
We wish all a safe and happy holiday season!!

The Literacy Committee members: Jackie Presley, Mary Jo Presley, and Connie Cook delivered two boxes of children's books to the Bensley Recreation center. The books were gladly received by Laura Branch, representing Bensley, who expressed her gratitude for the much-needed donation.

The members of Capital City of VA wishes to thank Joanne Cash, Ellen Moore and Dr. Ida Hill for their perseverance, hard work and support to ensure the club’s success. Capital City long-time members were honored with gift baskets from the club. They are an inspiration to all of the members and we cannot say thank you enough for their commitment and loyalty.

Congratulations are extended to Capital City's Honorary member, Pat Hupp. Pat was one of 12 nominees to be voted on for induction into Chesterfield County Volunteers Hall of Fame. On Thursday, May 30, 2024, at the 42nd Annual Event, Pat was one of three winners inducted into the Hall of Fame. We are so proud of Pat for her great accomplishment and want to thank her for her 30 years or more of endless service in giving of her time and many talents to help others in so many different ways. Quite an honor! Pat, you are our rock star!

On May 23, 2024 Altrusa Capital City’s Literacy Committee members, Connie Cook, Jackie & Mary Jo Presley, Frances Ellis and June Pearson visited and toured (HFF) Housing Families First’s campus and donated to their Forging Foundations program $600 worth of gift cards from various stores in the community.
HFF was very pleased and acceptable of our donation. Even though they are very familiar with Altrusa, we, of course, left brochures which gave them more information about Capital City and what we do.
This is a new Literacy Committee project and we hope to continue an ongoing partnership with HFF. Thanks to our new member, Geneen Howard-Williams, for coordinating and aiding us with this project.

Altrusa Capital City’s Literacy Committee members visited Chamberlayne Elementary School on May 23, 2024 and donated to its Library thirty-four Bilingual English & Spanish books and graphic novels, dry eraser markers, crayons and drawing paper. Chamberlayne was very appreciative of the various kinds of books they received and said, “this is exactly what we need.” This Capital City Literacy project is new and we hope to continue an ongoing partnership with them.

Altrusa - Capital City members participated in “Wreaths Across America”. They helped by placing live, balsam veterans' wreaths on the headstones of our fallen heroes. Thank you to the members, Annette Andrews, Connie Cook, Lydia Vaughan, Dr. Cheryl Outen and President Rita McCulloch for taking the time to volunteer.
