Emblem Ordering

It is important for the corresponding secretary to get an initiate’s information reported on the Change in Membership (CIM) form to the Membership Department immediately after initiation. The order for the initiate’s emblem, submitted by your chapter’s treasurer, will not be processed by the executive office until the CIM form has been received. Information about how to submit a CIM form is available in Instructions to Officers of Local Chapter and in Local Chapter Forms section of the members’ side of the website.

Bed and Breakfast

Information regarding payment of Bed and Breakfast insurance will be sent April 1 to presidents of all participating chapters. To be included in the September-October P.E.O. Record and on the members’ side of the website under REFERENCE LISTINGS, insurance payments must be postmarked by June 1.
If your chapter wishes to become a new B&B, please go to the members’ only section of the P.E.O. website and under FORMS you will find guidelines and insurance forms. For questions please email mknee@peodsm.org.

P.E.O.s Living Outside the U.S. and Canada

Names and addresses of P.E.O.s serving as overseas contacts in countries around the world are updated on the website under RECIPROCITY. Members living abroad are encouraged to strengthen their P.E.O. ties by communicating with the contact in their area who will put them in touch with P.E.O.s in their vicinity.
Members willing to serve as contacts should write the recording secretary of International Chapter (address on the inside front cover) by June 1. P.E.O.s who agree to serve the Sisterhood by welcoming other P.E.O.s to their respective areas are not to be asked to serve the business interests of individual P.E.O.s.

Rx:TLC Listing

The Rx:TLC listing which appears on the website under REFERENCE LISTINGS lists chapters willing to help P.E.O. members or their families who are hospitalized or in need of assistance when away from home.

To be included or change a listing for either the regular or college section, please send the information to The P.E.O. Record at mknee@peodsm.org. To help our sisters needing assistance, please list two contacts when possible. The listing will run until we are advised to change or delete it.
