P.E.O. Chapter W Anniversary
Congratulations to the P.E.O. Chapter W on their 75th Anniversary!
I had the privilege tonight of photographing the local P.E.O. group (Chapter W) during their anniversary meeting. P.E.O. (Philanthropic Educational Organization) is a philanthropic women’s organization that promotes educational opportunities for women; for more information, visit the P.E.O. International Website or the Michigan P.E.O. Website.

About P.E.O.
“P.E.O. was founded on January 21, 1869, by seven students at Iowa Wesleyan College in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. This circle of kindred spirits – bonded by their enthusiasm for women’s opportunities – eventually expanded to include women off campus, as well. Today, P.E.O. has grown from that tiny membership of seven to almost a quarter of a million members in chapters throughout the U.S. and Canada, with headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa.”
