The regular business meeting of P.E.O. Chapter BB was held on Oct. 18 in the home of Sandy Short with Jean Brennecke and Sue Cope as co-hostesses.

President Carolyn Anderson welcomed P.E.O. visitors Jan Young, a member of CF in State Center and Bailey Rarick from Chapter JY in Des Moines. It was announced that Patricia Brolin-Ribi has been installed as the new International P.E.O. president for the 2021-23 biennium. Brolin-Ribi urges chapters to concentrate on the two tenants of P.E.O.: 1. Its mission of support for women’s education through Projects and 2. Its hallmark of loving concern that bonds and lifts up sisters.
