Altrusa International of Spokane We believe that everyone is able to make a positive difference to the world around them.

LEADING TO A BETTER COMMUNITY

We believe that everyone is able to make a positive difference to the world around them. We can each volunteer our time, or donate our money, towards worthy causes. We can achieve even more when we bring people together. For over 100 years Altrusa clubs have collected members from varying occupations and lifestyles, all sharing an interest in community service. We en

joy the friendship, fun and satisfaction that comes from working together for the benefit of others. Each club develops a program that is tailored to local needs, undertaking a variety of hands-on service and fundraising projects each year. One of our shared goals as an organization is to improve literacy, which we believe is the key to opportunity. Through Altrusa activities we develop our leadership skills in a supportive environment. We welcome new ideas and aim to provide enough flexibility so that our members can give their time in a way that works for them. Officers and Board Members

July is here, and so is the July Flash — a fresh opportunity for Altrusa International of Spokane to support literacy, service projects, and meaningful community engagement. As we commemorate the 250th Independence Day, we reflect on the resilience, hope, and shared responsibility that shape both our nation and our organization.

We wish everyone a safe, happy, and heart‑filled holiday, and we look forward to continuing our work of empowering others throughout the month. ❤️

May’s Program Meeting looked a little different — and honestly, we loved it. Instead of a speaker this month, we simply enjoyed lunch together. Good food, good conversation, and the kind of company that reminds us why we show up for one another.

Sometimes the best “program” is just being together. ❤️

📚 Literacy Fact of the Week

Children who are read to at least three times per week are almost twice as likely to score in the top 25% in reading compared to children who are read to less frequently.

A simple routine — just a few minutes a day — can change a child’s entire educational trajectory.

Altrusa Spokane continues to support early literacy because small habits create lifelong readers. 📖❤️

Last night, Altrusa International of Spokane had the honor of hosting Sajda Nelson, Program Director at Thrive International. She shared her powerful journey as a refugee and immigrant, and how it led her to the incredible work she does today.

We left inspired by Thrive’s impact in Spokane and with a deeper understanding of how we can support their mission — especially through volunteer opportunities. Grateful for the partnership and the reminder of what community looks like in action.
