Today's Program and Chapter Meeting via Zoom

                                          Beth Herbert                                   Jan Smith

We recognized and welcomed our honored guest, Wendy Ahrendt, P.E.O. Chapter GB (Boulder, Colorado).

During the first half of today's program, Jan Smith interviewed Beth Herbert. Last October, Beth transferred to our chapter from P.E.O. Chapter CP (Chandler/Arizona). It was wonderful to get to know more about her! The second half of the program involved each sister, present in the Zoom gathering, sharing some of her life story with Beth.

Today's meeting included Belinda Alkula reading the President's Letter, a recap of chapter activities and successes during the last year. It was approved, as read. Belinda will forward it electronically to the Colorado State Chapter of P.E.O. 

Vice President Annette Oakley reminded everyone that it is time to complete the updated "P.E.O. Chapter Eternal Preferences" form  (formerly the "P.E.O. Wish" form). To access this fillable form, click on its link in blue above; sign into the P.E.O. International Website; and click on the Word document icon to access the form. After the form has been completed, each sister is requested to print two copies; sign them; retain one copy; and give the other one to Annette.

Wearing P.E.O. Pin Pays Off!

 

You never know where you’ll meet another P.E.O.! Terri Stephen, EL, Florida, was part of the 2022 volunteer team to decorate the White House for the holidays and wore her P.E.O. pin so other sisters could recognize her. 

Sure enough, during a group photo, Diana Doyle, HO, Colorado, was right next to her and said, “You’re a P.E.O.!” The pair met up later and became fast friends.
