Our annual Holiday Social was bittersweet in that it was also our farewell to Belinda Alkula. Belinda and her husband, Charles, are leaving on December 9th for their new home in Albert Lea, Minnesota. On behalf of the chapter, current president Annette Oakley presented Belinda with a cashmere shawl that we all hope will keep her warm during the cold winter months. Annette also presented Belinda with a necklace from the Executive Board, acknowledging Belinda's service to our chapter as president (2021-2023) and also as the creator and keeper of our blog.
Belinda is hoping to transfer to one of the P.E.O. chapters in Albert Lea. Although her P.E.O. letters will change, she will always be Just Incredible! We will miss you, Belinda. Godspeed to you and Charles.
Dearest Just Incredible Sisters in P.E.O. Chapter JI, thank you for the gift of your loving care and support during our time together! I may have moved to Minnesota, but my love and prayers will continue to walk with you! LIPEO, Belinda
