Altrusa is Growing!

Marsha Milovich (pictured, right) and Joanne Parsons (pictured, left) were recently initiated as new members in Altrusa Int’l of the Eastern Sierra.

Marsha Milovich has lived in Bishop since 1975 with her husband George, and will soon be celebrating their 34th wedding anniversary. They have three children and three granddaughters. Marsha has been employed by Cal Trans for 25 years. She enjoys reading, music, arts & crafts, cooking tea, gardening, chickens, fainting goats and yard sales.

Joanne Parsons has lived, worked and played in Bishop for over 20 years. Her professional career was spent in high school administration and subsequently, overseeing County and State projects in family literacy. She was a TV host for our local Channel 12 for 17 years. Joanne’s hobbies include hiking, riding and reading. Joanne is affiliated with Rotary International, Fair Board Trustee, Spellbinder Book Club, Inyo Associates, Master Gardener and Mule Days Committee.

Prior to this, we initiated another new member, Robin Hastie, who is the current Library Clerk at the Home Street Middle School. She has lived in Bishop for four years and has been married to her husband, Ron for 22 years. They have three children, a girl and 2 boys and a new grandson. She has worked in various forms of educational support for the past 14 years. Robin truly believes in Altrusa’s goal to promote literacy and became enthusiastic about joining due to Altrusa’s support of the Home Street Middle School Library over the past year which involved the revitalizing of the Library as our Literacy Project.

Altrusa is very excited about all of these members who have the interest, experience and. most of all, the enthusiasm which will be a tremendous asset to our Club. For more information about Eastern Sierra Altrusa, visit our website at http://www.altrusaes.org/.
