By Lee Bonorden/Austin Daily Herald
Look up P ... E ... O on the Internet's listings for acronyms and there are 22.
As far as Sally Baker is concerned there is only one: Philanthropic and Educational Organization for Women (PEO International)
'PEO is an organization of women that was founded by seven women in 1869 at Iowa Wesleyan College in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa,' Baker said. 'While originally a small college society, PEO soon expanded off campus. Today, the membership totals over a 250,000 members in chapters all across the United States and Canada with headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa.'"
