You Add to P.E.O. is a fun initiative within the P.E.O. Sisterhood where chapters are challenged to add two or more active members by February 28, 2025. Chapters that meet this initiative are eligible for special recognition, including being featured on the P.E.O. website.
Chapter Ho, Galesburg, Illinois, was selected for July! As of July 1, the chapter had added 7 new members since the beginning of the initiative. Read below to learn more about the chapter.
What does your chapter do for fun?
We manage to laugh a lot and enjoy our sisters at our holiday social event, complete with dress up themes and delicious food! We also find an interesting spot to tour or enjoy during our spring social gathering. Our chapter enjoys the fellowship time and catching up with one another during our luncheons that are served before each of our meetings too!
What has been your most successful fundraiser?
It doesn’t feel like a fundraiser when it’s called “Happy Money!” As one of the highlights at the conclusion of our meetings, sisters drop in a few bucks for the “opportunity” to share anything good in their lives. We hear about family gatherings, new grandchildren, health recoveries and sometimes just “glad to be here” comments. We are “happy” to use the funds to support our projects!
What is your best tip for finding new members?
There isn’t a magic wand that we use, but just good old-fashioned reaching out to ladies we think would enjoy our chapter. Because our chapter is so diverse, it allows for a wide variety of potential P.E.O. sisters to join!
