In the Winter 2025 issue of The P.E.O. Record, Jennifer Mitchell’s article Small Gestures Have BIG Impacts: The Importance of Nurturing Connections Within Your P.E.O. Chapter mentioned her grandmother’s chocolate chip cookies, which she frequently baked to share with sisters, often as an excuse to stop by for a visit.
