Vintage ALTRUSA INTERNATIONAL LAMPLIGHTER 1/5K GF Pin - RARE!
Altrusa International was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1917, originally as Altrusa Institute. During that time, a record number of women were going to work during World War I, and there was a need for women's civic organizations. Dr. Alfred Durham, a member of Kiwanis, began organizing clubs throughout Nashville, Louisville, Kentucky, and Dayton, Ohio, before he moved on to Indianapolis, Indiana, where he met Mamie L. Bass. Bass had served as the Superintendent of the Women's Division of the United States Employment Services, and was a partner in her brother's architecture firm. She also assisted him in organizing a Rotary chapter in Indianapolis. While she admired Durham's Institute, Bass felt that Altrusa could serve a higher purpose. In June 1918, when Altrusa held its first convention in Indianapolis, Bass's vision became reality. The Altrusa Institute became a classified service organization for women.
