Twelve members of P.E.O. Chapter LT visited the Gothic Byzantine Haverhill Oratory on June 5 with Gary Pusillo, Deacon, as the guide. The church was built in 1902 for $1,288. The beautiful symbolic stained glass windows came from Europe and the pictures on the walls were done by an Italian painter on canvas done on site. He explained the architecture, symbols and statues in the oratory related to the Catholic Church.

President Lisa Koester conducted the meeting that announced the Marshalltown High School senior women Tarryn Bell and Yessenia Alvarez Zamora were recipients of the P.E.O. Chapter LT local scholarships of $500 each.

At noon on June 19, the members will have a salad luncheon picnic at the shelter house at the Grimes Farm.
