She served in all chapter offices and was the chapter president six times. Peggy was Chapter Woman of the Year three times. She was the driving force behind Lambda Xi’s Annual Salad Supper / Christmas auction, which was always successful due to Peggy’s contribution of floral arrangements and Christmas wreaths.
Peggy served in all chairmanships in Washington State and was the Washington State Council President in 1966-67.
Peggy donated many hours and money to all Washington Council Projects. Her Love of the Scholarship / Foundation program was evident by the sizeable amount from her estate to benefit the Scholarship program for students for many years to come.
