Teachers 00tnd givers taking heatlrt in 1 lOth Shelton's Chapter B of the Phil- anthropic and Educational Or- ganization celebrated its ll0th birthday with a luncheon at the Colonial House on Saturday, Janu- ary 13. Chapter B members, along with Shelton's Chapter GQ mem- bers, Washington State Chapter Recording Secretary Jo Ann Fet- terman, and guests all attended the celebration. Chapter B President Marty Brooks welcomed those in atten- dance, and Maxine McElroy an- nounced that Roberta Roadman of Shelton will receive a $2,000 Program tbr Continuing Education scholarship from the PEO Interna- tional Chapter. Chapter B spon- sored Roadman in her quest Ibr the scholarship. After lunch, Penny Allison on keyboard and Helen Palmer on violin presented a program of mu- sic and chapter history from 1897. Virginia Bayley then blew out the candle on the birthday cake. PEO, FOUNDED in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, in 1869, is an in- ternational organization with chapters in Canada and through- out the United States. It operates Cottey College, a two-year liberal arts college in Nevada, Missouri, and provides sholarships and loans for women so they can con- tinue their education at the college level. Chapter B was formed on Janu- ary 9, 1897 by eight young Shelton women who bad been members of the Saint Cecelia Society, part of the Episcopal Women's Guild. Their leader moved to Seattle and the young women wanted to stay together as a group. One of them, Jean Todd Fred- son, had been a member of a PEO chapter in Nebraska and she asked if she could form a chapter in Shel- ton. Chapter B became the second PEO chapter in the state of Wash- ington, the first being in Seattle. In 1904, Chapter B hosted the second Washington State conven- tion in the Odd Fellows Hall with state officers and 14 delegates ar- riving in Shelton on a small steam- er, since Shelton didn't have any roads connecting it with the out- side world at that time. OVER THE YEARS, many members of Chapter B have left their mark on Shelton, especially in the education field. Dora Fred- son was in Shelton High School's Business broker to address EDC first graduating class and later be- came a teacher and then a principal at the high school. In 1923 Mark Reed built a new high school for Shelton, named for his wife Irene S. Reed, another PEO member. Mrs. Reed served on the Shel- ton School Board from 1909 to 1940. Her mother, Mary Simpson - also a PEO member - had the library building built in memory of" her husband, Sol Simpson, and it is now the home of the Mason County Historical Society. Mary M. Knight, another Chapter B member, was Mason County Su- perintendent of Schools for many years and Mary M. Knight School District bears her name. In 1979, eight Chapter B mem- bers were allowed to form Chapter GQ under the guidance of Lee Han- son. Edee Larson, state organizer and Chapter B member, installed the members in their new chapter. The tbllowing year Edee became Chapter B's only state president. Since Chapter B has been in existence, it has supported the Shelton community with many projects, from raising money to help pay for Shelton's first hearse in the early 1900s to supporting Turning Pointe Domestic Violence Services. In the last decade, it has also bought books for the Shel- ton School District family literacy project, among other efforts. SINCE 1936 it has presented the Mary M. Knight Achievement Award to outstanding young high- school graduates who are going to continue their education after high school. The first award was $12.50 and had grown to $1,000. In 2006, the group decided to give the achievement award to women who are continuing their education at Olympic College. That year three Olympic College students, includ- ing Roberta Roadman, were given $500 each. Chapter B also supports the projects of PEO's International Chapter, such as the Program for Continuing Education, Cottey Col- lege, PEO Scholar Awards, Inter- national Peace Scholarship, and the Educational Loan Fund. Chapter B has grown from its original eight members to 62 members, nine of whom are non- residents. Five women have been members for over 50 years. Vir- ginia Bayley has been a part of the chapter for over 65 years and Phyl- lis Nebel has been a PEO member for more than 62 years.
