Colorado State Chapter Website Update Coming

Effective July 1, 2024, the Colorado State Chapter website will require that all members have a unique username and password for access.
 
This change meets P.E.O. International requirements and provides a safer, more secure website for all our members.
 
On June 17^th, all active members of Colorado State Chapter will receive an email via Constant Contact. This email will include information about usernames as well as step-by-step login information and password requirements. (Please take this time to go to the P.E.O. International site and make sure your email is correct. Also, please check your settings to make sure you have not unsubscribed from our messages.)
 
The username for each member will be her seven- (7) digit P.E.O. member number (found on the mailing label of her P.E.O. Record, or from your chapter’s Corresponding Secretary). The username cannot be changed.
 
This change will provide a higher level of security for all our Colorado Sisters.
 
If you have any questions, please reach out to the tech committee at coloradopeotech@gmail.com.

Today, Linda Petroff graciously welcomed 19 sisters into her lovely home. Co-hostess Tanya Lynn provided a delicious assortment of drinks and savory/sweet nibbles, which were appreciated by all!

Pop-up fundraiser: Sisters donated gently used purses for a "purse swap." Folks happily donated money for the "new" purses they took home with them.

Wendy Ahrendt provided a marvelous program about Frida Kahlo, which was well received!

Annette Oakley conducted the chapter meeting which included wonderful reports and Just Incredible news to celebrate! Stay tuned for the draft minutes to be emailed to sisters.

Chapter gatherings are scheduled for the third Wednesday of each month. The next one will be June 19th at Maggie McDonnell's home. The program will be a report of the Convention of Colorado State Chapter by our delegates, Geneva Fisher and Joyce Kozeliski.
