WEST VIRGINIAN (WVDN) – What exactly is P.E.O.? It is a women’s organization that celebrates the advancement of women and educates females through scholarships, grants, awards and loans. Since its inception in 1869, P.E.O. has helped more than 130,000 women with awards totaling $462 million.
Recently, the West Virginia State P.E.O. Chapter held their annual convention. Delegates from across the state met in Wheeling for a weekend of celebration, education and sharing with their sisters.
Four local sisters were honored as 50-year members. Ann McClung and Vicki Wilson, Chapter O, and Paige Hayes and Lou Ella Lewis, Chapter V, were congratulated for their years of service and dedication to the principles of P.E.O.
