The Altrusa Club of Ames is holding its first Spring Garden Tour on Saturday, June 5, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event is a change to the club’s usual fundraisers, which were canceled due to COVID-19, and funds raised during the tour will be distributed to four local nonprofit organizations.
Typically the Altrusa Club of Ames holds one or two fundraisers each year, with its largest event being the Holiday Home Tour, which features several local homes in December.
“It’s been going on for 31 years now,” said Mary Ellen Metzger, the club’s past president. “However, with Covid, things that were typically done to raise money for others, like the Rummage Rampage, were canceled.”
