    bulletNews from Governor Cindy: "Immediate Past Governor, Margaret Cannon, has just informed me that the $21,000.00 goal has been met to fund the memorial for Mamie L. Bass.  This is exciting news, as our founder will now receive the recognition which has been long overdue.   The orange cone currently marking her grave will now be replaced by a more worthy marker.  It is the least we can do to honor our founder who had the wisdom and the insight to build the organization we so proudly call Altrusa. " (Posted 6/20/2005)
