P.E.O. Chapter J met Monday, March 27, at the home of Diane Wehrman with Kim Gebers serving as co-hostess.

During the business meeting the following officers were installed, Sue VanSkiver, president; Ruth Epley, vice-president; Jaynie Spirk, recording secretary; Deb Troudt, treasurer; Sandra Sterkel, corresponding cecretary; Cindy Adamson, chaplain; and Diane Wehrman, historian.

Donna Jensen presented a program, titled 'The Bluebird of Happiness' on the various speciesof bluebirds, focusing on the type that is found in this area. As with other bird species, the males have the more vibrant plumage. They mate for life and the male actively participates in the care of the young and other household tasks.

Many have noted the bird boxes located across the countryside and many of these were placed and are maintained by Donna's husband Darrell, who also documents the number of eggs in the nests in the boxes and tracks the number in the area. Inclement weather this past year has decreased the bluebird population in the area. It is hoped the upcoming months will be more favorable for the bird population. Donna showed several pictures and even brought a bluebird box for the group's inspection!

Following a rousing, if not pitch perfect rendition of 'Happy Birthday' to Kim Gebers, the group enjoyed a time of refreshments and fellowship.
