The program preceded the business meeting. President Sara Bartlett introduced Kate Glinsmann of Chapter OC who is ?Wild About Stained Glass.?

She told that her project ideas sometimes come from paintings and pictures, her own inspired ideas and stained glass pattern books. She?s looking forward to her retirement where she can spend more time on her hobby.

Highlights of the business meeting included the membership instructing treasurer Debbie Leith to make a donation for each of the six national P.E.O. projects.
