Today, several sisters and BILs in our chapter participated in this 27th annual walk. Spirits were high in the mile-high city as folks turned out to support this worthwhile endeavor, while enjoying a picture-perfect day, this first Sunday in autumn.

Annette Oakley commented, "walking today with these amazing families was inspiring, uplifting, and joyful." She added that she would love it if sisters in our chapter would choose to participate in this annual walk each year.

Thank you, Deborah Raessler, for your great idea to have a watch party of the convention's opening night's favorite event: "Projects Night!" We heard from recipients of the various philanthropic projects, and we were impressed and inspired by their educational pursuits! It was a fun evening of celebration and a time that reaffirmed how the P.E.O. Sisterhood is Just Incredible!!! 💗
