On Saturday I joined 130 P.E.O. sisters from Lake County chapters for the annual Founders Day luncheon. I have met many members of other chapters because I've given programs and through my involvement on the round table board. P.E.O. was founded in 1869 so sesquicentennial preparations are in full swing. 
This year's theme, "Raise Your Voices P.E.O.," was reflected in the invitations (my chapter's job) that used real 45's and the centerpieces that used a melted/shaped LP for the vase and a 45 for the logo.
The program was "P.E.O. Fashion Through the Decades." What a hoot!
In the 1870's they wore gingham CHECK aprons.
In the 1890's they wore BALLOON sleeves and SWEETHEART necklines.
In the 20's they wore flapper dresses and TEDDIEs. In the 70's they wore BELL bottoms (she jingled!), SHELL tops, and SHADES.
