Julia Norton and Dani Halverson, both of Chapter E, manned the Cottey College table for the College Fair at Loachapoka High School in November. Loachapoka is a rural town just west of Auburn and has about 300 students enrolled. Students came through the Fair by grade level in grades 8-12. The pretty colorful Cottey table drew attention from students and other school representatives. Seventeen young women requested more information after looking at the brochures and hearing what Cottey can offer. (A bonus was meeting another woman from Auburn who was quite interested to learn more about P.E.O. – a lunch date has been scheduled!)

MaryAnne Miller is pictured with her parents, Peter and Ellaine Miller, her grandmother Sue Bradley and Jim Bradley. MaryAnne graduated from LaGrange, GA high school and will attend Auburn University. In addition to academic strengths, MaryAnne is a talented vocalist whose voice has been described as being a beautiful “classical” singing voice with a very wide range and wonderful “top” (high notes); and she can also “belt” a note or song when needed.

She is director of the St. Mark’s Children’s Choir which includes kindergarten through middle school youth and perform once a month at church services. MaryAnne is currently ranked 6th in overall giving of time and talent (250 hrs since freshman year) to the LaGrange, Georgia community through her high school’s service club projects. As a girl Scout, MaryAnne learned about the challenges homeless people in Atlanta have in getting shoes. She led a campaign to collect 200 pairs and ended up collecting 300 pairs of shoes (200 of which were men’s) which were donated to the Atlanta Mission homeless shelter and the Episcopal Charities Foundation. MaryAnne is currently working on her Gold Award that addresses the challenges of keeping or reinstating music programs in public elementary schools. An entrepreneur, MaryAnne designs, makes and sells beaded jewelry, marketing her items at various craft shows, community events, conference exhibit halls and online. As a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation, she is able to promote her business as “handcrafted by Native American.” She also enjoys cooking, especially baking/decorating cupcakes – frequently requested at church and school events.
