"Service that fits your life"

Thank you to everyone who attended the

Lone Star Texas Virtual Club Open House!

We had a fabulous turnout, wonderful content, and engaging discussion. If you attended, you already know how impactful the experience was. And if you didn’t attend… you’ll have to take our word for it!

Due to technical difficulties, the original recording of the presentation is not available. However, we felt it was still important to provide narrative context to the slideshow presentation and to continue sharing the excitement behind this new adventure so here is a re-recording of the Virtual Open House:

WATCH HERE!

“I didn’t think I’d join… but I just did. I’m now a dual member!”
Three (3) attendees who watched the Virtual Open House 
became a member immediately after the event.

the first two service projects of this innovative club.

Service that truly fits your life!

Whether you attended the Open House or are just learning about us now,
we invite you to see how simple and flexible virtual service can be by joining us in these two service projects:
   
Purple Bag Project – Support our military by sending a care package with just a few simple clicks. It takes under one minute to participate using this link:
https://www.crownroyal.com/PurpleBagProject
 

Driven by Crown Royal’s ethos of generosity, The Purple Bag Project was born, turning their iconic purple bags into care packages for soldiers and veterans, reminding them of our support and thanks. Together with "Packages from Home", our national charity partner, The Purple Bag Project has become a token of our appreciation for those serving our country.

Since 2010, we’ve packed and distributed over 1 million purple bags (and counting) to soldiers and veterans, providing them with essential care and comfort from home. We’re continuing our commitment to supporting military heroes with the goal of packing 2 million bags by 2030.

Show your patriotic support TODAY!

What is a Virtual Altrusa Club? 
     A virtual club is an online community that brings together individuals who share common interests, allowing them to connect, collaborate, and interact from anywhere in the world. These clubs leverage digital platforms, such as social media groups, video conferencing tools, and dedicated forums, to facilitate communication and engagement among members.
 
     Altrusa Virtual clubs can cover a wide range of service activities and support various communities and populations. They offer the advantage of transcending geographical boundaries, making it easier for members to participate and contribute at their convenience. Additionally, virtual clubs often foster inclusivity and diversity, as they attract participants from various cultural, social, and professional backgrounds as well as logistical needs. This virtual format not only enhances the accessibility of club activities but also enriches the experience by allowing for a broader exchange of ideas and perspectives.
