A former “secret society” is now one of Hardin’s County’s best kept secrets when it comes to promoting educational opportunities for women. 

The Ada Chapter of P.E.O. (Philanthropic Educational Organization) is part of a 150-year-old national organization that was initially labeled as secret because only members knew what the three letters stood for.
