The Capital City of Virginia club would like to inform you of a special honor bestowed on behalf of Carolyn A. Guertin. As you may be aware, June 29th is Carolyn A.Guertin Day. This was declared in 2020 by Governor Ralph Northam on her 92nd birthday. After a lifelong career with the Civil Air Patrol, Carolyn was also promoted to Colonel on this day. Previously, Carolyn had been honored with the Congressional Gold Medal in 2015 and had her squadron renamed after her – the Carolyn A. Guertin Squadron. She was a personal hero to many in the Air Force and Civil Air Patrol and a dedicated member of Altrusa International of the Capital City of Virginia. During her membership, Carolyn was very involved in Wreaths Across America and donating to the Ida Hill Scholarship. Although Carolyn’s passing on August 8th sadden our hearts, her spirit will forever be in our hearts.
In memory of Colonel Carolyn A. Guertin, the operations wing located at Civil Air Patrol’s Virginia Wing Headquarters was dedicated by Colonel Elizabeth Sydow, Virginia Wing Commander, and Captain Lawrence Zambrano, Carolyn A. Guertin Cadet Squadron Commander, remembering her especially on her 93rd birthday, Jun 29th, 2021.
District Two Fall Workshops Recap – October 19, 2024
District Two Altrusans came together across Areas I, II, and Iee on October 19 for the 2024 Fall Workshops, each one packed with service, learning, and fellowship.
Area I Workshop was hosted by the South Central PA Club in Harrisburg, PA. Members enjoyed an engaging session with Shirley Halk from the Penn State Cooperative Extension, who shared valuable insights on local pollinators. The day included a delicious lunch, followed by a meaningful hands-on project—creating cozy no-sew blankets for children in need. Huge thanks to South Central PA Club for their warm hospitality!
Area II Workshop was hosted by the Washington, DC Club, where attendees joined in writing heartfelt cards for “A Soldier’s Hands.” This powerful service project allowed members to show their gratitude to those serving in the military, blending fellowship with purposeful action.
Area III Workshop took place at Bensley Park, organized by the Capital City, VA and Richmond, VA Clubs. Altrusans were inspired by Fletcher Johnson from Liberation Veteran Services, who shared the organization’s mission to support veterans experiencing homelessness. Members contributed essential items for veterans, honoring the legacy of Shirley Garnett Wallace, a beloved member of the Capital City Club, as part of the “Make A Difference Day” project.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated, making these workshops a meaningful day of connection and community service!
