Record by Amy Tingstrom, Associate Editor President’s MESSAGE Do More Than Believe: Practice Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work. —William Arthur Ward What powerful messages within this quote! The more I read it, the more I realized it’s exemplary of P.E.O. in many ways so I’d like to share my thoughts with you about the first half of this quote. Do more than belong: participate…We’re often reminded that the more we participate and get engaged, the more value we’ll get from our membership in P.E.O. and the more we’ll want to be involved. P.E.O. is working diligently to make it easier for our members to be engaged by encouraging local chapters to have efficient meetings, interesting and relevant programs and fun socials. We’re also making it possible for our members to “connect” to International Chapter through Facebook and Twitter. If you know a member who hasn’t participated in chapter activities lately, please reach out to her so she knows we care and can help her get reconnected. Do more than care: help…This is one of the strongest distinguishing factors about P.E.O. Many organizations provide environments that enable friendships to form. In P.E.O. we take friendship to the next level by adding heartfelt, caring concern that develops tighter bonds of fellowship among our members. We enable women of all walks of life to achieve their educational dreams by offering our financial assistance and emotional support. We “help” our members and we “help” women we hardly know as we learn of their educational pursuits. Do more than believe: practice…The passion and enthusiasm I observe from members at our events show that we all believe in the spirit of P.E.O. and in “helping women reach for the stars.” I’m inspired and thankful every time I see your dedication first hand during my visits. Since the beginning of this biennium, I’ve asked each of you to accept the challenge of the “Power of 1” to strengthen our membership and our philanthropic support. I’ve offered some ideas about what you might choose for your individual, and your chapter’s, “Power of 1”. Hopefully, you’ve determined the “1” additional contribution you’re going to make to P.E.O. this biennium. I’m a firm believer in the old adage “Don’t ask of others things you wouldn’t do yourself” so I want to share my personal “1”s with you. At the beginning of this biennium, I decided one of my individual “Powers of 1” would be to introduce my sister to chapters in Indianapolis with the hope she would become my P.E.O. sister. I’m happy to say my “1” became reality this May and we’re often talking about P.E.O. now! Another “1” was to introduce a former colleague to chapters in Boston— she has also been given the gift of P.E.O.! I used the “Introduction of a Woman Not a P.E.O.” form for both of these introductions. To support our philanthropic projects, my “1” is to be more diligent, along with my chapter members, about seeking potential candidates for our assistance. So far, my chapter has nominated a STAR candidate, successfully sponsored a Scholar Award recipient, and we’re currently interviewing a candidate for both an ELF loan and a PCE grant. Now we need to identify our “1” for Cottey and IPS. As we all “do more than believe: (we) practice”, I ask you. . . Do you know what your “1” is? With sisterly love, Maria T. Baseggio, President, International Chapter Special gratitude is extended to Cathy Allen, past president Arkansas State Chapter, for her dedication as she completes her service on the Educational Loan Fund Board of Trustees. We are pleased to welcome Cathy Manhart, past president Montana State Chapter, as she begins her five-year appointment to the Educational Loan Fund Board of Trustees on October 1. The P.E.O.

(Philanthropic Educational Organization) is passionate about its mission: promoting educational opportunities for women. Our sisterhood proudly makes a difference in women’s lives with six philanthropies that include Cottey College, a women’s college with two- and selected four-year programs, and five programs that provide higher educational assistance: P.E.O. Educational Loan Fund, P.E.O. International Peace Scholarship Fund, P.E.O. Program for Continuing Education, P.E.O. Scholar Awards and P.E.O. STAR Scholarship. P.E.O. is headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa. P.E.O. Educational Loan Fund P.E.O. International Peace Scholarship P.E.O. Program for Continuing Education Educational Loan Fund (ELF) is a revolving loan fund established in 1907 to lend money to qualified women students to assist them in securing a higher education. P.E.O. International Peace Scholarship (IPS) Fund was established in 1949 to provide scholarships for international women students to pursue graduate study in the United States and Canada. P.E.O. Program for Continuing Education (PCE) was established in 1973 to provide need-based grants to women in the United States and Canada whose education has been interrupted and who find it necessary to return to school to support themselves and/or their families. P.E.O. Scholar Awards P.E.O. STAR Scholarship Cottey College P.E.O. Scholar Awards (PSA) was established in 1991 to provide substantial merit-based awards for women of the United States and Canada who are pursuing a doctoral level degree at an accredited college or university. The P.E.O. STAR Scholarship was established in 2009 to provide scholarships for exceptional high school senior women to attend an accredited postsecondary educational institution in the United States or Canada in the next academic year. Cottey College is a fully-accredited private residential liberal arts and sciences college for women in Nevada, Missouri, with two-year and selected four-year programs. It has been owned and supported by the P.E.O. Sisterhood since 1927. Individual donors may make tax-deductible gifts to the above mentioned projects or through the P.E.O. Foundation. Checks should be made payable to the project or the P.E.O. Foundation and sent directly to the P.E.O. Executive Office. Donations may also be made online through the website peointernational.org. Look for the “Giving Opportunities” link on the home page. All P.E.O. chapters are classified by the United States Internal Revenue Service as exempt from Federal income tax, but they are not Section 501(c)(3) charities. Consequently, contributions to P.E.O. chapters are not deductible as charitable contributions for Federal income tax purposes. P.E.O. is a philanthropic organization where women celebrate the advancement of women; educate women through scholarships, grants, awards, loans and stewardship of Cottey College; and motivate women to achieve their highest aspirations.

Record September–October 2014 3 44 LETTERS Your 44 Gratitude from a STAR Recipient P.E.O. Helped My Son! My name is Yadira Castaneda and I am not a member of P.E.O. However, I received a P.E.O. STAR scholarship four years ago and have been supported by P.E.O. Chapter DZ, Wenatchee, Washington. The women in this chapter have supported me since I started my studies at Stanford University. They have encouraged me to follow my dreams, not give up and enjoy my time at Stanford. They were there for me through my ups and downs cheering me on. Up to this day, they continue to be one of the few who have always believed in my ability to succeed. Receiving their quarterly cards full of great wishes and support motivated me to keep going. They always knew what to say. This P.E.O. chapter has a very special place in my heart, especially Jan Petrie. These women never treated me different based on my background or skin color. On the contrary, they truly helped me reach the stars. When I came home after my first quarter at Stanford, I was ready to give up pre-med. However, they encouraged me to keep going. I am so glad they stopped me from giving up on a dream that I continue to pursue. Yadira Castaneda, 2010 STAR Scholarship recipient As the mother of three sons and no daughters I have sometimes felt a little sad that none of my children would ever reap the benefits of our wonderful sisterhood. However, I can now brag that is no longer the case. My son is a student at the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, working toward a doctorate degree in physical therapy. One of the graduation requirements is to go out into the world and do four nine-week clerkships. The students are responsible for finding their own housing during these clerkships, which can be a challenge since apartment rentals require leases of at least six months and many students can’t afford long-term motel stays. I took advantage of the local presidents list on the P.E.O website and looked for zip codes that were the same as the clinic where my son would be working in Oregon. Several P.E.O.s were willing to let my son “camp” in their home for his short stay. Sight unseen, they trusted me and acted upon my plea for help. What a wonderful feeling I have towards P.E.O.s. Total strangers came to our rescue to help a young man whom they had never met and allowed him into their home—that takes a lot of courage. I also had the trust and confidence to know my son would be safe. Where else but with a sister? A huge “thank you” to Ellen Houx, Chapter AN, Portland, Oregon, for her gracious hospitality for allowing my son to stay in her home. P.E.O.s across the nation help each other because we are sisters. We reach out with a determination to do all we can at all time and under all circumstances to express a loving concern for each sister.

Record September–October 2014 The Importance of Wearing Your Pin…For Other Reasons On the day of my first meeting as a new officer in my chapter, I was running late. Feeling confident I would still make the meeting on time (as it was still 45 minutes away), I paid no mind to the car ahead of me—it was a police car and I was speeding. I was pulled over and while speaking with the officer he noticed the pin on my lapel. He asked, “Are you a P.E.O.?” "Why, yes I am," I boasted with pride. Turns out, this officer comes from a long line of P.E.O. women from Indiana. He spoke of the good memories he had as a young boy of the women who treated he and his family so well. He went on to explain that his grandmother and mother were P.E.O.s and had nothing but fond memories of their gatherings. He did not give me a ticket that day, but instead shared heartfelt memories of the impact that P.E.O. had in his life. I learned two lessons that day—you never know where or when P.E.O. will impact you and your life or those around you and always wear your pin to a meeting!

People Eat Oatmeal.” Ann was initiated into her mother’s Oklahoma chapter while her husband was stationed in Thailand during the Vietnam War. When he returned and they moved to California, she chose inactive status and focused on raising her children. Through the Ann Noble years, the sisters in her mother’s chapter stayed in touch, comforting Ann when her brother was killed and again when her mother passed away. When two of those sisters sent Ann a text on the same day— one from Oklahoma and one from Arkansas—both talking about the P.E.O. meeting they were getting ready to host, the memories came flooding back. “Mother had that gift of hospitality and she loved it when it was her turn to hostess. Suddenly I wanted that again—a group of ladies who loved each other and were a joy to be around,” Ann said. Ann is not alone. Each year since 2006, more than 1,000 inactive sisters chose to reinstate their P.E.O. memberships. Some of them, like Kathy Schmidt, go on to serve P.E.O. as president of their state chapter. Kathy, past president of Georgia State Chapter, chose inactive status when her son was young and she couldn’t participate fully in chapter activities. “I was truly embarrassed that I couldn’t pull my weight. That’s just not the way Kathy Schmidt I work,” she said. “My chapter sisters were always glad to see me. It was simply that I couldn’t participate.” When she learned her family was relocating three years later, she requested reinstatement, knowing P.E.O. membership would help her meet women in her new community. “It never ceases to amaze me the fun that we have being together and how the nickels and dimes we put together accomplish so much globally,” Kathy said. “We have fun doing our projects, whether it’s weighing our purses or selling pecans. It all comes together for such a huge affect.” What do both women advise inactive sisters who are considering reinstatement? “Just do it,” Kathy said. “You won’t be disappointed. You’re always a P.E.O.” “It’s easier than you would think,” Ann said. “You will be surprised at the welcome you get and the joy you immediately receive—like you’ve known them all your life. I’m still learning names, but I feel like I belong. That’s the way P.E.O. sisters are. Now that I’ve reinstated and am looking back, I bet I missed a lot of blessings by not transferring when I moved to California.” The P.E.O. Record Easy Steps to Reinstatement It’s easy to reinstate your P.E.O. membership. Just follow these steps: If you’d like to return to the chapter from which you became inactive: • Send a letter to your chapter notifying them of your reinstatement • Enclose the reinstatement fee of $35 with your letter If you’ve been invited to transfer to another chapter: • Send a letter to the chapter who extended the invitation to transfer notifying them that you are reinstating and accepting their invitation. • Enclose the reinstatement fee of $35 with your letter In both situations, your membership is effective when your letter is read at a business meeting or special meeting and the reinstatement fee is received. If you no longer live near the chapter from which you became inactive, complete the online form available at www.NoPlaceLikePEO.com and your information will be sent to local chapters in your area. September–October 2014 7 Cigall Kadoch: P.E.O. Scholar & Sister Recognized for Groundbreaking Cancer Research P.E.O. Cigall Kadoch made Forbes magazine’s “30 Under 30” list for her work in cancer research by Becky Frazier, Editor, The P.E.O. Record In January 2014, Forbes magazine presented their annual list of “30 Under 30 Who Are Changing the World.” This is a tally of the brightest stars in 15 different fields under the age of 30. One of our own P.E.O.s, Cigall Kadoch, from Chapter LL in Redwood City, California, has been honored to be included in this prestigious group. Not only is Cigall a P.E.O. sister, she was also the recipient of a P.E.O. Scholar Award in 2011. Forbes recognized Cigall on their “30 Under 30” list for her work in the field of Science and Healthcare— specifically for her amazing cancer biology work in the lab. According to her profile in Forbes, Cigall “has been studying a rare cancer—synovial sarcoma—to yield insights that could help understand other types of cancer. How genes are read by the cells in 8 our bodies depends in part on their physical structure, and Kadoch’s work has explained how changes in that physical structure, caused by mutations in yet other genes, can help cause the disease.” Synovial sarcoma is a rare softtissue malignancy. Cigall’s work has implications for many cancer types and could eventually lead to new cancer treatments. Background Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay area, Cigall is the older of two children. Her sister Orli just graduated from the University of California, Davis, with a degree in neuroscience and psychology and is also pursuing a career in science. Cigall’s mother, Kathleen, is originally from Michigan; her father, Robert, grew up in Morocco and Israel and was the first of his family The P.E.O. Record September–October 2014 to come to the United States. Cigall is the first person in her father’s family to graduate from college, not to mention earn a doctoral degree, a real point of pride for him. Robert and Kathleen live in Tiburon, California, and are owners of Tiburon Belvedere Interiors, an interior decorating and furniture design business they started together and have run for more than 30 years. Cigall attended public high school (Redwood High School) in Marin County and went on to graduate from the University of California, Berkeley with a B.A. in molecular and cell biology in 2007. Cigall said she’s always had an interest in science and intended to become a medical doctor but eventually realized her true passion lies in solving puzzles in medicine and discovering knowledge which goes beyond our current understanding of disease, which led Women helping women reach for the stars to her decision to stay with the field of biomedical research. She continued her education at the University of California, San Francisco (USCF), where she was involved with hematology and oncology research at the medical center. In 2011, Cigall received the Women in Cancer Research Award from the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). She was one of ten recipients internationally and the youngest; her Women in Cancer Research Award was given in recognition of the brain tumor research she did at UCSF. After her work at USCF, Cigall went on to pursue a doctorate at the Stanford University School of Medicine. She graduated from Stanford in 2012 and was quickly recruited for faculty positions nationwide. She stayed on as a postdoctoral research fellow until January of this year (2014), when she began a position at Dana-Farber/ Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center and Harvard Medical School. Since January, Cigall has been running her new lab at Harvard, which continues to grow and now has a staff of ten. She says she has really enjoyed the experience of building a talented group of researchers of all levels of their career, from undergraduate students to postdoctoral fellows. Cigall explained, “We are trying to understand a mechanism known as chromatin regulation given that over 20 percent of human cancers have compromise to this process. Our studies aim to uncover the biochemical and structural basis of changes to genetic architecture and to identify how these changes lead to malignancy, which could serve as a strong foundation for the development of novel therapeutic approaches to cancer.” P.E.O. Cigall was selected for a P.E.O. Scholar Award in 2011 and received a $15,000 award to help complete her Ph.D. at Stanford. Her aunt, Barbara Lee Mathews, is a member of Chapter GF, Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Another aunt, Susan Cannon, is in Chapter AH, Saginaw, Michigan. While Chapter GF in Cape Girardeau officially sponsored Cigall for the Scholar Award, she is grateful for having been “tri-sponsored”—supported by members of Chapter GF, Missouri; AH, Michigan and the chapter near her at Stanford, LL, Redwood City, California. Even before receiving a P.E.O. Scholar Award, Cigall knew about the Sisterhood. She’d heard great things about it from her aunts. As an undergrad, she visited her aunt Barbara, who then lived in Boston and hosted P.E.O. meetings and was a P.E.O. B&B hostess. Cigall got to meet many P.E.O.s who stayed with her aunt and learned about P.E.O.’s mission and purpose. Shortly after receiving her Scholar Award, Cigall was invited to join Chapter LL, Redwood City, California. She was initiated in June 2011. She said, “I thought it was an incredibly diverse and wonderful group of women who defense, and also presented a program to her chapter in California, in which she spoke about the importance and impact of her discoveries in the lab. Cigall’s sisters in Chapter LL are impressed by her enthusiasm for teaching and her commitment to give back to those who have supported her. She gives two lectures per year to an advanced biomedical science class at her high school in the Bay Area, and now, even after moving to Boston, still returns to teach this lecture every year. In her free time Cigall enjoys the outdoors, exercise, music and reading for pleasure. She is close with her family and friends and loves traveling to see family in distant parts of the world. While Cigall lived her whole life in the San Francisco Bay area until six months ago and says her heart will always be in California, she’s very excited about being at Harvard. She said, “The experience here is unparalleled. It’s really the Mecca of scientific discovery and the perfect place for me to start my career.” P.E.O.s should be proud to call Cigall “sister” and of the role we played in her pursuit of higher education. Already a stand-out star in her field, as Cigall continues to learn and make discoveries in her research, we will be watching with great interest as she makes an impact in the scientific and medical communities. were excited about my career goals. One of the most valuable things I got out of the experience—besides the Scholar Award—was getting to meet wonderful women who will support my career throughout. I am impressed by their dedication to the cause of P.E.O. and the cohesiveness of the group.” Many of the women from Cigall’s P.E.O. chapter attended her graduation from Stanford; some even attended her dissertation defense. Cigall spoke at the Missouri State P.E.O. Convention in 2012, just a week before her thesis P.E.O.s should be proud to call Cigall “sister” and of the role we played in her pursuit of higher education. Already a stand-out star in her field, as Cigall continues to learn and make discoveries in her research, we will be watching with great interest as she makes an impact in the scientific and medical communities. And as a P.E.O. herself, Cigall will certainly make a difference in the lives of other women in the years to come. The P.E.O.

Cynthia learned about our sisterhood’s ELF project from her aunt in Chapter CB, Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. Thank you chapters O and CB! Cynthia and Keith Anderson with their daughters Since my early youth, I have been independent. I would seek challenges and was always daring. Starting my nursing career as an Army nurse, I enjoyed the leadership opportunities and physical and mental stamina required by the military. After becoming a civilian, I was attracted to the fast-paced excitement of trauma and intensive care nursing. I developed not only knowledge and skill, but also an intuitive compassion. Through the inevitable fire of my chosen nursing surroundings I was being refined— not into a different person, but a better person, bringing out from within the depths of my being empathy for my patients. Now, 18 years into my nursing career, I appreciate balance. I strive for excellence in nursing—focusing upon being a patient advocate and is strengthened when I move outside the boundaries of myself and seek to discern and attend to the diverse needs of the community, indeed the world, around me. With any endeavor comes a need for resources to make that goal a I am only one but still I am one. I cannot do everything but I can do something and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something I can do. — Edward Everett Hale promoting individual health and holistic well-being. I constantly pursue a greater good, always seeking to step into more of the fullness of my character. I long to enrich the lives of those entrusted to my care with a deeper level of influence and responsibility. I aspire to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. I desire to impact not only my immediate community, but also abroad in volunteer trips to help those whose lives have been devastated by war, disease, famine or other natural calamity. My heart aches when I see others made destitute by circumstances outside of their control. I believe in recycling blessings. I have been blessed with so very much…I have a mother who has survived stage IV cancer, a husband who survived a life-threatening injury and two children who survived difficult pregnancies. I believe that now I have a responsibility, indeed a moral obligation, to bless others. This commitment to service, however, does not make me weary; there is always a reciprocal enrichment that takes place. My identity, my resolve reality. It has never been an option to sacrifice taking care of my two young children for the sake of my career aspirations. I am in graduate school but also a full-time mom. My husband works hard to provide for our financial obligations but his income does not cover the expenses of a family of four and the costs of my education. Thankfully, I learned about P.E.O. from my aunt and mother-in-law, both long-time members of the organization. They encouraged me to apply for financial assistance from this sisterhood, which supports women as they pursue an education to not only work toward the betterment of society, but also to provide a lasting legacy for their families.

September–October 2014 11 COTTEY Cottey College A Message from the Cottey President by Judy Rogers, Ph.D., President, Cottey College At the successful conclusion of A Defining Moment: The Campaign for Cottey College, we heard from our Campaign Cabinet and volunteers that Cottey must continue the outreach begun during the Campaign—to continue raising the visibility of the College among P.E.O.s, BILs, alumnae, friends of the College and friends we have yet to meet. In response, Cottey launched an integrated marketing plan, building on the best practices learned from the Defining Moment. Carla Bryant Farmer, former campaign manager, is leading this initiative. At the all-campus meeting in May, I announced that I had two priorities before retiring from the presidency of Cottey College. They go handin-hand—to support marketing efforts and thereby increase enrollment. A pilot marketing program was launched in Kansas City a year ago based on recommendations of a 2012 study by George Dehne and Associates (GDA). In the report, Jane Seaberg Daly, GDA representative, stated, “…an institution needs to have been seen or heard on several fronts in a concentrated time-frame in order to be recognized and remembered. It’s a noisy market out there, so a ‘one and done’ attempt will be ineffective.” The logical next step is to take 12 the Kansas City pilot to the next level. The framework for the marketing plan is now in place with the initial rollout in Denver in September followed by more work in Kansas City in October. Other cities will follow. There will be a burst of activity and events, layered in a two- to four-day time period, preceded by advance public relations and advertising. showcase Cottey to young women we might never have met or hosted on campus. We will also seek regional and national media opportunities. In August, Cottey was featured in a two-page article in U.S. Airways magazine along with other women’s colleges, which reached a monthly readership of more than three million. The message was that “…an institution needs to have been seen or heard on several fronts in a concentrated time-frame in order to be recognized and remembered. It’s a noisy market out there, so a ‘one and done’ attempt will be ineffective.” —Jane Seaberg Daly, George Dehne and Associates We will also seek opportunities to introduce Cottey to other women’s organizations. As part of the marketing initiative in Kansas City, a partnership was formed with the Women’s Foundation of Greater Kansas City. The Foundation and Cottey share a similar mission to help women succeed. Conversations led to the opportunity to help the Foundation expand its high school program for selected young women to include a leadership focus. Cottey will host a leadership retreat for the Foundation that will include two students from each high school, private and public, in Kansas City. What a wonderful opportunity to The P.E.O. Record September–October 2014 Cottey is a place for women “going places.” Now is the time for Cottey to embrace a strategic marketing campaign, bringing together our internal and external resources to capture the attention of prospective students.

Chapter B IPS cochairman Barbara Ashworth wrote, “Recently we had the opportunity to meet our Partner in Peace, Leonora Gashi, a delightful young woman from the small country of Kosovo. Through articles on the internet and a map provided by Leonora, our sisters learned that Kosovo was one of several provinces that made up former Yugoslavia; it is bordered by Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Albania. While most countries in southeastern Europe have a Slavic heritage, the culture and language of Kosovo are shared with Albania.” Traveling 70 miles to the Graduate School for International Training (SIT) in Brattleboro, Vermont, members of Chapter B met Leonora, who is completing her master’s in teaching English to speakers of other languages. With nearly 40 percent unemployment in Kosovo, Leonora hopes to improve the education system in her country and especially to empower girls to grow personally and professionally by understanding the importance of education and staying in school beyond the mandatory age of 15. Over lunch, Chapter B members learned of Kosovo’s struggle against Serbia’s campaign of ethnic cleansing in the late 1990s.

My longtime family friend, neighbor and now P.E.O. sister, Carol Austin, often spoke about a special group of women she was a part of. She talked about their kinship, common values and philanthropic projects and mentioned if I ever needed to return to school, PCE might be an option for me. After my initiation in 2008, I got to know my sisters and found myself impressed with how each found their own way to share their individual gifts with others through their careers and volunteer passions, but also in the many ways they chose to “pay it forward.” I’ve been fortunate in my own life to be surrounded by people for whom generosity and giving back are second nature. My husband, parents, sisters, grandparents and now my P.E.O. sisters all are living examples of what it means to lend a helping hand. In 2010, I decided to return to school to earn a certification in massage therapy. With the encouragement of my P.E.O. sisters, who voted to sponsor me and supported by the eloquent chapter recommendation letter written by Eleanor Vander Haegen, I was 14 awarded a partial PCE grant to assist with my educational expenses. Since I was still making payments on the educational loans from my bachelor degree program, any financial assistance I could secure would make a huge difference. I was able to use the grant to help cover the cost of a massage table, a required item I needed before beginning my program. It is the same massage table I use today in my private practice. During my studies and throughout the planning and opening of my business, I made a decision to set aside $1 of the money earned from every massage session until I reached the amount PCE recipient Melissa Blanchard has her own massage of the grant I received.

Her parents’ divorce at the age of eight and the move from Texas to her grandmother’s Arkansas home allowed Madelynn to find solace and escape through film and television. The lives portrayed on the screen were not dissimilar to her life.

Record September–October 2014 45 Award Winning IDEAS BIL Appreciation Chapter G, Clovis, New Mexico, held their BIL summer social at the Lighthouse Mission. Chapter G president Judy Abernathy and BIL chair Sjierkje Van der Ploeg presented the BILs with certificates of appreciation for “supporting Chapter G goals by answering phone calls, taking messages, helping get the house ready for meeting day, leaving the house during meetings, cooking meals, helping finance dues and fundraisers, taking photos, rearranging schedules and all in all, just being super guys!” Mathieu, AK, Duxbury, produced an appetizer, main course and dessert for the fascinated guests. Afterward, all enjoyed coffee, tea and goodies while Chapter BR’s life-sized plywood cutouts of our chatting and seven Founders are a fun looking over addition to chapter the project programs and celebrations displays from the 2014 State Convention in Hyannis. Each guest left with a smile and a daisy bag full of P.E.O. information and gifts. Putting Tournament Fundraiser Chapter G’s BIL appreciation at the Lighthouse Mission in Clovis, New Mexico.

More than 50 Cape Cod women attended the program in the parish hall of the First Congregational Church in Harwich. It was a fun afternoon for everyone as Paris, France, Cordon Bleu chef Nancy 46 Chapter G, Sapulpa, Oklahoma, held a putting tournament fundraiser. The chapter’s third annual tournament was held at the local municipal golf course. With the $20 registration fee, each participant received five golf balls. In order to advance successfully to the next round, the participant needed to sink the designated putt. For those who did not succeed and who desired to continue in the competition, extra golf balls were available for purchase. After four rounds, the final four winners were determined and prizes were awarded. Various community businesses and individuals contributed donations of door prizes and silent auction items. For three years, this two-hour event has netted a profit of over $2,000 to $2,800 yearly for P.E.O. projects. Refresh Your Walls Fundraiser Chapter C, Ely, Nevada, recently held its third annual “Refresh Your Walls” art auction at the Bristlecone Convention Center in Ely. The theme for the spring fundraiser centered around changing the décor on your walls for a refreshing new look for spring. Art for the event was donated by local artists, members of the community and Chapter C members. Members provided sweet and savory hors d’oeuvres and decorated the tables with a fresh spring theme. The event raised more than $6,000 to support P.E.O. projects. Friends Meet for Tea Since 2007, Chapter GE, Brookings, Oregon, has held an invitational tea to get the community involved in their fundraising. The tea is called “Friends Meet for Tea by the Sea.” Sisters canvass merchants for silent auction items, bearing information sheets about P.E.O. and our projects. Many talented sisters donate generously of their crafts. Local ladies look forward to wearing hats in the elegant setting, eating a delicious buffet, collecting party favors and viewing more than 200 jewelry, fabric art, gift baskets Winners of Chapter G’s putting tournament fundraiser The P.E.O. Record September–October 2014 Women helping women reach for the stars Award Winning IDEAS Projects. This year, the theme was Laugh-In; P.E.O. sisters put on skits in the style of the TV show from the 60s. Founders’ Day Fun Guests admire P.E.O. Maria Fossum’s teapot purse at Chapter GE’s tea fundraiser and other items on auction. Project recipients speak about how we’ve helped them. Follow-up includes publicity photos and a story in the newspaper. Income from the fundraiser has varied from $4,000 to $10,000 annually. “Buy it Now” tables with homemade gourmet treats sell out. Sisters in Chapter GE say each year is a bit different, but the delight in helping women remains constant. When Chapter BR, Lewiston, Idaho, was asked to provide entertainment for their area’s Founders’ Day celebration several years ago, they created (with the help of BIL Larry Butts) life-sized plywood dolls to represent the seven founders. Members “clothed” the cutouts with wrapping paper and wall paper and embellished them with lace and buttons. After they were unveiled at the first event, P.E.O.s lined up to have pictures taken in them. The cutouts have been Frivolities Show Chapter R, Waynoka, Oklahoma, hosts an annual fundraiser called “Frivolities Show.” The entire community is invited to attend the event. Attendees donate money to P.E.O. to attend the event, which features desserts and coffee, door prizes and live entertainment. All the money earned is used for P.E.O. Chapter BR’s life-sized plywood cutouts of our seven Founders are a fun addition to chapter programs and celebrations a huge hit with many chapters— they have travelled from Spokane, Washington, to Boise, Idaho. Four different Founders’ Day programs have been written to showcase the cutouts. Chapter BR has received several contributions for use of the dolls and this money has been used for donations to the P.E.O. projects. P.E.O. Wendi Mowrey with guest speaker Peggy Post at Chapter IH’s fundraising luncheon Would Emily Post be Shocked? Chapter IH, Bonita Springs, Florida, hosted a fundraising luncheon at Vasari Country Club in Bonita Springs. The invited speaker was Peggy Post—she is the greatgranddaughter in-law of the first lady of etiquette, Emily Post. Since Emily’s death in 1960, the Post family has continued her effort to define proper social conduct and good manners. Peggy has appeared on Oprah, Good Morning America, Dr. Phil and The View. She has a column in Good Housekeeping magazine and writes a wedding etiquette column in The New York Times. Peggy’s talk at Chapter IH’s luncheon was titled “Would Emily Post be Shocked?” She talked about how to apply the principles of good manners to the latest issues and demands of the 21st century. More than 100 people attended the event and Chapter IH counts this as one of their most successful fundraisers ever. Chapter R P.E.O.s dressed for the Laugh-In theme of their frivolities show fundraiser The P.E.O. Record September–October 2014 47 P.E.O. AUTHORS Margaret Stewart, EA, Carefree, Arizona, wrote “A Lie in the Left Hand.” Margaret fell under the spell of the Sonoran Desert foothills 30 years ago when she began exploring their mountains and arroyos. She has written the three novels in her mystery series using her background in science, art, history and English, plus a passion for the outdoors. In her latest volume, “A Lie in the Left Hand,” she once again captures the essence of the desert landscape north of Phoenix as her protagonist Marshal Hank Sanchez and the wealthy Anglos in the small town of Chuparrosa, Arizona, clash over old bones and ancient mysteries. A powerful cover-up is driving flames, real and imagined, that only a deluge can extinguish. Sanchez must uncover the mystery of these long-ago deaths to save his career. A 65-year member of P.E.O., Margaret grew up in the Midwest and has belonged to six P.E.O. chapters in five states. She received her B.S. degree from Iowa State University. Geraldine Mathias, B, Blackfoot, Idaho, recently released her second children’s book, “The Tale of Strawberry Rose.” The character of Strawberry Rose and her adventures are loosely based on a shopping game her own daughter used to play when she was about four. Strawberry Rose was a nickname she gave herself at about the same time. In the story, Strawberry Rose is only four years old, but she loves to pretend shop all over the house. She collects objects in little brown lunch bags and hides 48 them in her closet. When anything her parents need is missing they have to sort through Strawberry’s loot. One troublesome day, daddy’s wallet is missing, and of course she gets the blame. The rhyming text of this charming story will carry the reader along as Strawberry Rose works to prove her innocence and helps to find the real culprit. Illustrator Nancy Schellenberg’s clever and engaging illustrations bring the story to life. Geraldine’s first book, “Cookies for Frankie,” was published two years ago. Geraldine is a frequent contributor to Idaho Magazine and is a member of the Idaho Writers’ League where she has won numerous awards in various literary genres. Janet Dean, AN, Fort Wayne, Indiana, wrote “The Bride Wore Spurs,” her seventh inspirational historical romance novel for Love Inspired Books. To keep the Texas ranch she loves, Hannah Parrish will wed a man she doesn’t. Cowpokes won’t take orders from a young, single female. But while her exasperating neighbor Matt Walker jokes about her being a mere debutante, Hannah is a rancher to the core. Just like Matt. “Will you marry me?” It’s a question widowed Matt never intended to ask again. Now spirited Hannah is asking him for a marriage of convenience! Yet whether she’s birthing a calf or caring for a young orphan, the tomboy next door is becoming the partner Matt always hoped for. Now he must convince her the greatest strength comes in trusting your heart to another—and your future to God…. Janet received a B.S. in education at Indiana University. She married her college sweetheart and taught first grade before leaving teaching to rear their two daughters. With her The P.E.O. Record September–October 2014 children grown, Janet pursued her childhood dream of writing novels. Joann Colvill, V, Fargo, North Dakota, and Sharon Oien, EZ, Mesa, Arizona, (aka the “Scribble” Sisters) have collaborated and published “Clinical Veterinary Language,” a textbook for students entering the veterinary profession. Joann, a veterinarian and Sharon, a medical technologist and nuclear medical technologist, are actual sisters as well as P.E.O. sisters. They both taught classes in medical terminology, so when Joann was approached by Elsevier, Inc. to create a new veterinary medical terminology book her first thought was to include her sister. With its interesting facts, humor and easy-to-follow explanations, the book helps demystify veterinary medical terminology even for those with little or no background in veterinary medicine. Using a unique format they created, the book is based on word analysis, i.e., defining sometimesintimidating medical words by breaking them down into component parts and defining each part. It takes the students through each system of an animal’s body, introducing word roots, suffixes, prefixes, colloquial terms and words that defy analysis. The learning process starts with the animal’s skin and moves inward. Students eventually build a hypothetical animal so they can see the animal as a whole rather than by individual systems. Exclusive to the book are numerous case studies that encourage students to read and understand medical reports. The sisters also provided content for a website that includes an audio glossary and word games to reinforce mastery of clinical veterinary language. Women helping women reach for the stars Pamela Chitwood, VV, Weed, California, wrote “Jayda’s Gift,” a middle grade fairy tale chapter book about a dryad outcast, kidnapped and sold in a mage auction. Jayda is rescued by her young human friend Chase, his father Lionel and Ione, an elf. Dying from her soul-linked oak being uprooted, Jayda must find a new home before she dies. Jayda is a strong female coming into her own power while learning about friendship and her place in the world. Cathleen Armstrong, LL, Redwood City, California, wrote “One More Last Chance,” a follow-up to her first book “Welcome to Last Chance,” which won the 2009 American Christian Fiction Writers Genesis Award for Women's Fiction. Sarah Cooley has come home to Last Chance, New Mexico, for one reason—because it doesn't change. After an engagement gone bad with a man who wanted to change everything about her, Sarah is more than ready for the town whose motto may as well be, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Chris Reed, on the other hand, wants nothing more than to spark some change in the little town. As the new owner of the Dip 'n' Dine, he's shaking things up to draw folks from all over the Southwest into his restaurant. As it turns out, the winds of change are blowing into Last Chance—just not in the ways that Sarah or Chris might expect. “One More Last Chance” is a soul-searching, romantic story of two people navigating the twists and turns of small-town life. Cathleen lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband Ed and their corgi. Though she has been in California for many years now, her roots remain deep in New Mexico where she grew up and where much of her family still lives. She is the third of four generations of P.E.O.s in her family. Sharon McCoy, CH,Center, Colorado, wrote "What If?" a children's book with a Christian moral about a fanciful journey finding the Fruit of the Spirit only to find out that what is sought out is already within the believer. The book features Sharon's ceramic sculptures that are super-imposed onto a photograph background. Sharon was born in Chula Vista, California. She moved to Monte Vista, Colorado, in April of 1980 where she met and married Glen. Glen and Sharon raise potatoes and Coors barley on their farm. They raised two children. Sharon attended Adams State University (ASU) in Alamosa, Colorado, to receive both her B.A. and M.A. degrees. It was at ASU that she fell in love with clay. Sharon completed her studies in the Masters of Fine Arts program in ceramics at Fort Hays State University in Kansas in May of 2014. She is a studio artist and presents workshops, demonstrations and lectures. Sharon was initiated into her chapter in 1992. Connie Amarel, DP, Lompoc, California, wrote “The Adventures of Dixie the Three-Legged Dog,” a children’s book based on the true story of an amazing dog and some of the wonderful adventures she had after losing one of her front legs to cancer. Through Dixie’s many adventures she teaches her family and friends that, in spite of cancer, life can be fun and exciting. Connie is the author of several other children’s books; all her stories teach valuable lessons and end with a moral. Stephanie Painter, W, Memphis, Tennessee, wrote “Liz Tames a Dragon (and her anger)”. It is a therapeutic picture book written to help 4 to 8-year-old children find healthy ways to manage their angry feelings. The main character, Liz, is a little girl who relishes having Saturdays alone with her mother, until her younger sister, Meg, begins having ideas of her own. Sharing life with a sister isn’t always easy, and Liz soon becomes so mad that her anger morphs into a fire-breathing dragon. Liz is certain that her sister has cast a magic spell until she realizes only she has the power to tame this dragon. Watercolor illustrations by artist Jeanne Seagle capture the character’s anger, confusion and cooperative actions that lead to peacemaking. “An Activity Guide for Parents and Child Therapists” by Marlo Carney Zarzauer, Ed.D., is included with art, games and activities that will help kids learn how to verbalize their emotions and recognize physical cues of anger. Stephanie has a master’s degree in counseling. She lives in Germantown, Tennessee, with her husband Eric and her daughters Kara and Ella. Stephanie joined P.E.O. in 2010. The P.E.O.
