Birthday Parties, Scraps and Snacks, and a P.E.O. Book

I’m a big fan of Mike Rowe’s Returning the Favor Facebook show. If you haven’t seen it, tune in now and make this one your first to view. It features, Megs Yunn, an Alpha Xi Delta alumna from the Marietta College chapter. The episodes are a great reminder that one person can make a difference.

A few weeks ago, at Pi Beta Phi’s College Weekend, I met Victoria Hempstead, the Vice President of Fraternity Development of the Texas Epsilon chapter at the University of North Texas. She told me about a Scraps and Snacks event she was planning for the chapter and its alumnae. I asked her to send me some pictures of the event and she did. Looks like it was a fun event!

Three P.E.O. friends, Susan Sellers, Anne Pettygrove, and Ruth Glancy, and I spent the last few years writing We Who Are Sisters, a coffee-table picture book history of the P.E.O. Sisterhood. In late October, we handed it off to the printer. After time at the printer and binder, it is finally done and copies are being mailed to those who pre-ordered the book. My copy arrived last week, and I was floored by its style and substance. Writing a book by committee was a bit of a challenge as we are all strong-willed creative people, but it was an exercise in making the best of the talents we possess. I hope the membership will enjoy the fruit of our labor.
