I’m in Des Moines at the 74th Convention of International Chapter (CIC) of the P.E.O. Sisterhood in Des Moines, Iowa. I’ve been spending most of my time in the Bookstore where copies of the 150th commemorative history of P.E.O., We Who Are Sisters, is available for purchase. It has been fun signing books! Bookplates are also available for those who have a copy of the book at home. Stop by Room 301 if you are at CIC.
Last night was Projects Night, where the speakers are recipients of P.E.O.’s projects. Pi Beta Phi alumna Savannah Guthrie made a surprise video appearance.
It’s always fun seeing friends and making new ones. Kylie Smith, Kappa Kappa Gamma’s Archivist and Past President of the Ohio State Chapter of P.E.O. is here, too, as is my long-time Alpha Gamma Delta friend, Nann Blaine Hilyard. She gets the credit for me being a P.E.O. member. Betty Quick, Gamma Phi Beta and past National Panhellenic Conference Chairman is here, too. I wonder if she is the only NPC Chairman who is also a member of P.E.O.
