P.E.O. Chapter J met Monday, Oct. 23, at the home of Cindy Adamson with Sandra Sterkel serving as co-hostess. Included in the regular business meeting was a report from President Sue VanSkiver on sessions she attended at the national convention held in Philadelphia. Of particular interest was the magnitude of grants and scholarships available to those women pursuing higher graduate degrees as well as to graduating high school seniors endorsed by local chapters. Chapter J continues to support these programs as well as P.E.O.’s Cottey College. Sue also attended the regular business sessions and was joined by husband Max in meeting with other Nebraska attendees and for celebratory meals.

Members present were treated to a learning session led by Tami Sharp, who shared how to prepare and freeze meals to be cooked in a crock pot slow cooker to serve at the end of a busy day. Recipes including shopping lists were shared and all got a taste of one of the delicious crock pot recipes.

The next regular meeting will be held on Monday, Nov. 13, at Salem Lutheran Church and will feature a “Christmas Carol” quiz. The group will also be gathering gifts for their adopted P.E.O. Home resident.
