Emeritus Member Jackie Morton  
   
At the August 7th business meeting Altrusa International of Roseburg honored long-time member, Jackie Morton, with emeritus membership. Emeritus membership is granted to active Altrusans who have been members for at least ten years and who are deserving of recognition because of their history of service to Altrusa and devotion to its principles. Eligible Altrusans and devotion to its principles. Eligible Altrusans are those who are exemplary in their service to Altrusa but due to age or disability cannot continue as active club participants. Jackie joined Altrusa in 1982. Her initial classification was community colleges, academic functions. This changed to financial planning when she retired from her job as a business instructor and department chairman at Umpqua Community College. Jackie has chaired or co-chaired the Community Service, Membership and Vocational Services committees. She has been both president and treasurer of our local club foundation. Jackie has sponsored thirteen member five of whom are still active: Diana Circle, Elsa Danskine, Karen Fager, Lynn Kuhn and Susan Stanbury. During the years  1991-1994 Jackie served as vice-president, president-elect and president. In 1991-1992 she was the driving force in a fund-raising project for the Douglas County library that was raising money for the new Roseburg headquarters. She was the chairman of the committee and brought in motivational speaker Alyce Cornyn-Selby. Jackie also canvassed the community for donations so that people in transition in our community could attend the event with free tickets. Another significant event occurred during Jackie's presidency: Altrusa International developed its Quality Club (now the Distinguished Club) Award. Jackie worked with her board to complete and submit the necessary club activity report. We were very pleased that Altrusa International of Roseburg was named a Quality Club for 1993-1994, the only club in District Twelve so honored that year. Jackie is just an all-round good person and member. She's marched in parades, modeled at fashions shows, organized programs, sold tons of gift wrap, and presented a positive image for Altrusa International of Roseburg. Congratulations Jackie for your recognition and thanks for your years of dedicated service to our club and community.
