“We were so blessed by Altrusa, the ladies adopted The Medical Equipment Bank and donated shelves, tools, a gift certificate, and financially helped us out. I was speechless. We so love the ladies from Altrusa, (Above is Altrusa’s Kim Rinehardt handing me the goodies.) THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! Check them out at the Thurston County Fair, they are the ones selling those huge elephant ears I so dearly love (and not suppose to have – shhhh).“
