P.E.O. Chapter J focus on projects

Chapter J met Sept. 9 at the home of Teri Oltmans with Sandra Sterkel serving as co-hostess.

Focus of the evening was the various projects of P.E.O. These include the Educational Loan Fund, International Peace Scholarships, Program for Continuing Education, Scholar Awards and STAR Scholarships. Chapter J awards a scholarship to a female Lawrence-Nelson High School graduate each year.

In addition, P.E.O. has owned and supported Cottey College since 1927. Cottey is an independent liberal arts and sciences women college that develops leadership qualities and a global perspective.

Several members plan to attend the Reciprocity Group XI luncheon meeting in Hastings on Oct. 5 and will report at the next regular meeting which will be held on Monday, Oct. 28 with Dana Epley serving as hostess.
