Many years ago we had a BIL initiation.  We used a script from the P.E.O. library and it was fun for us.(Not sure what the men thought)

A group of sisters put together a Christmas Program which included a reading of the book A Cup of Christmas Tea while another sister showed the pictures, all done virtually on zoom. Program included group singing (muted) and singing of a virtual choir.

We zoomed a majority of all our meetings this year.  Some members that haven't been attending were able to attend.  It has been fun to see everyone at least virtually!

One of our sisters did a zoom program about Genealogy. We have decided to have an interest group with this topic next year.

Our 2 big fund raising evets HAVE BEEN: a garage sale, Octoberfest. Both are intensive work for a couple of days and then it's over! We're planning a garage sale in June   and our Octoberfest in late September .
Another one, not a high profit margin, but we do get LOTS of orders so it ends up a money maker-is holiday greenery from a grower in the Pacific Northwest.

We are an age diverse chapter that meets in the evening. Using Zoom has increased our attendance. My guess is that working sisters don't have to spend the time driving to meetings and they can be in the comfort of their home. (I have even Zoomed while out of the state.) If you're a busy mom or professional it makes meetings easy to attend!

We do something similar with layers of beans and spices layered in a bag with decorative ties.  Our other big fundraiser is Make It, Bake It, Take It where we bring our contributions and have a raffle of the items.   The items range from bake goods, crafts, plants, to guided hikes-any talent we possess!

Chapter committee meetings and officer meetings - better than conference calls and quicker than meeting in person.  Reciprocity meetings and officer training. Convention Planning Board meetings. Definitely a time saver when groups are geographically separated like Reciprocities ad Planning Boards and State committees. Doesn't replace in-person, but definitely a time saver.

It wasn't really a social event, but a way to keep our sisters in our hearts. Secretly, these signs (there were 5) were placed in members yards. After about a week, sisters secretly passed the sign on to another chapter member. We made certain that members who needed help sending the love onward could get it. At our Holiday meeting, the sister who started it all, revealed herself.
