Book Published by P.E.O. Sister -- P.E.O. Chapter IY (Estes Park)

"I'm sending you information on a book that has just been released:  

Maggie: A story of dementia, exploitation, and loss.

It was written by Carolyn Wills who is my IY Estes Park P.E.O. sister. It is a fictional piece based on fact - sadly. It's very compelling.   

It can be purchased only on Amazon and half of the proceeds go to IY.

LIPEO, Nancy Hills, P.E.O. Chapter IY"

New Kitty for Cindy!

 

From a Facebook Post, January 23rd:

"I'm so happy! Bruce and I adopted my friend's cat yesterday and welcomed him into our home as a foster situation on 1/7!!! My friend could no longer care for him due to life circumstances but we are so blessed and happy to help out. He has been such a sweet boy and has eased our deep grief over the loss of our precious Elsa. Meet Prince! He's a 5.75 year old Ragdoll cat! I've ALWAYS wanted a Ragdoll and he is SUPER sweet, loving, fun, and mellow!"

⭐️ Happy Founder's Day! ⭐️ 2023 ⭐️

 

From P.E.O. International: 

"Happy Founders' Day! P.E.O. has grown from a bond of friendship to one of the oldest women’s organization in North America, and we're so grateful to the seven young women who started it all! Take a moment to honor their legacy and friendship by reaching out to your sisters today. Whether it's a phone call, text or even tagging them in this post, let them know you're grateful for them too!"

Sarah Raessler's Painting on Cover of "The Record," November-December 2012

 

There is a wonderful article about Sarah Raessler, the artist, who painted the pastel star on the cover of this edition of "The Record" (pages 8-9). It can be viewed on the P.E.O. international website's archives of "The Record." 

Sarah wrote her letter of acceptance to transfer to our beloved P.E.O. Chapter JI on a notecard with this special star that she painted on it. She really is "Just Incredible!" We are so blessed to have her as our sister!
