Each year since 2009, Altrusa International recognizes Altrusans who sponsor a new member by giving them numerical pins that indicate how many new members that Altrusan has sponsored. This is a cumulative number beginning in 2009, but a higher number pin is only given when that total number increases during the previous year.
The pins are given in increments of two, so a member who sponsors three new members will keep their “2” pin until they sponsor a 4th new member, then they will receive a “4” pin the following year at conference.
Altrusans who sponsor 10 new members receive a gold pin and gemstones are added for every additional 10 members that Altrusan sponsors.
Congratulations to all District Nine Altrusans receiving their sponsor pin for the past year.
