Girl Scout Troop 30199 conducted a presentation of colors and led the Pledge of Allegiance at the February dinner meeting of the Sedalia Business Women. Then each Scout took a turn at the microphone to talk about what being in Girl Scouts means to them. Troop Leader, Amanda Iracheta, shared information on some of the various activities the Troop does throughout the year. The Troop did a great job with their presentation of colors and their public speaking.
And the winners are…

The Sedalia Business Women are saddened at the loss of Karen Steele, 78, on December 2, 2022. Debbie Ulmer, Chaplain, presented the memorial for Karen Steele.
Karen joined the Sedalia Business and Professional Women’s Club (BPW), now Sedalia Business Women, in 1965. She served as chairperson of numerous committees and attended many State conventions. Karen was honored as “Woman of the Year” in 1989-1990.
In her personal life, she enjoyed crafting: making scrapbooks, crocheting and designing sweatshirts. She made and decorated many cakes for birthdays, weddings and wedding anniversaries for friends, family and co-workers.
