2015 Oregon P.E.O. Convention
June 12-13, 2015
on the campus of Linfield College
McMinnville, Oregon
Barbara Olson, President, Oregon State Chapter
Hostess Chapters: D - L - Y - CT - DJ - DO - DX - FG - FH - FI
Greetings P.E.O. Sisters!
Forest Grove - Hillsboro - McMinnville - Newberg sisters are thrilled to invite you to our,
oh so special, area of Oregon to enjoy all there is to experience while attending the
104th annual Oregon P.E.O. Convention in McMinnville
Over the past few years your hostess chapters ‘Grew with P.E.O. Love’ , as we incorporated
‘All Things’ from the rolling hills draped in vineyards, to Barbara’s precious lambs and, as always,
a sprinkling of ‘Daisies’. Our logo says it all!
2 days of Convention - 4 days of Fun - You won’t want to miss all we’ve planned!
You’ll find the look and feel of Convention a bit different this year, as we head ‘back to school’. It will
be relaxing and inspiring as you experience two days filled with Oregon State P.E.O. fellowship business - instructional workshops - topped off with the Educational program spotlighting our many
Project recipients. All this and fun events planned before & after for our sisters - with an infusion of
great B.I.L events (see special section in the Registration packet dedicated to these events) to welcome
everyone to Yamhill County and Convention 2015.
Our affordable lodging venue (campus dorms and apartments) will allow you to come early to attend
the Pre-Convention Reception held at historic McMenamins Hotel Oregon honoring our President
Barbara Olson (hosted by her Eugene Chapter H) and participate in a few extra special events
planned for Thursday. Stay over until Sunday for a good breakfast on Third Street and afternoon wine
tasting before you head home. A wonderful long weekend to relax, unwind, and enjoy special time
with sisters. An ideal time for BILs, as well, to experience this special part of Oregon.
I invite you all to Convention 2015. Read thru all the offerings within this Registration Packet, they
are sure to make you want to register and participate in this great experience.
With P.E.O. Love,
Donna Weed, Chair
