terman, and guests all attended

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

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.
