"Leaders In Service"

ALTRUSA OF LACONIA is an enthusiastic group of women of all ages, businesses and professions. We have a proud history of community service in the Lakes Region area, and we strive for projects that will help us make a difference.

The Laconia club of District One* was organized in 1944 and was chartered in 1945 under the direction of our first president, Rose Emery.

ALTRUSA INTERNATIONAL INC. - Founded in 1917, Altrusa was the first national service organization of business and professional women. (Visit our “Club Info” to view some notable Altrusans.) In 1935 Altrusa became international with extension into Mexico. Today, we are worldwide with 14 districts encompassing 19 countries and membership of close to 15,000. Altrusa has been associated with the United Nations since 1946 and is a member of the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO).
