Please join me in supporting our ASTRA Clubs worldwide with their new global ASTRA service project…ASTRA - Kindness Postcards Day. On April 7th, ASTRA members will create postcards with messages of kindness to share with hospitals, senior centers, schools and community service workers.

How Can You Get Involved? All Altrusa Clubs (regardless of whether you sponsor an ASTRA Club or not) are welcome to join ASTRA in spreading kindness. Simply show support of this global project for ASTRA by sharing postcards of encouragement to make a positive impact; one message at a time. Even one postcard can brighten someone’s day. Maybe consider sending a postcard to an ASTRA Club to cheer them on and show our support by building up future leaders. Take a moment to read the attached flyer and see what you can do as either a club and/or as an individual to spread joy because….KINDNESS MATTERS.

With Altrusa Love,

Chris

Show your support for SDG5:
Gender Equality!

Be part of and advocate for women's rights.

The 70th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) will take place from 9 to 19 March 2026 and is the UN’s largest annual gathering on gender equality and women’s rights.

This year’s focus: rights, justice and action for all women and girls.

CSW70 is a defining test: whether the world choses to act together and deliver equality before the law for all women and girls or allow injustice to persist with impunity. We call on everyone to stand up, show up and speak up for rights, justice and action – so all women and girls can live safely, speak freely and exist equally.

The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality, the rights and the empowerment of women.

Faye Snodgress, member of Altrusa International of Indianapolis, IN and Altrusa UN Representative, recently visited the UN General Assembly. See her statement below!

"I had the honor of attending the UN General Assembly on September 23 and hearing world leaders share their commitment to peace, equity, and global cooperation. Their words reminded me so much of the work Altrusans do every day—making a difference in local communities while helping build a better world for all." - Faye Snodgress, Altrusa UN Representative
