GREENFIELD — The Upsilon chapter of Psi Iota Xi installed its officers for the 2018-19 year at its 98th anniversary dinner.
The chapter’s 2018-19 officers are: Dianne Hoover, advisor; Phyllis Arthur, conductress; Stacey Stephenson, treasurer; Tracie Belongia, assistant treasurer; Deidre Patty, recording secretary; Carolyn Coffin, corresponding secretary; and Katie Ottinger, president.
At the anniversary dinner, the chapter also presented the Hancock County Community Foundation with $5,000 to start an endowment fund. The chapter earned this money by hosting the Indiana State Association of Psi Iota Xi annual meeting in 2016 and researched ways to make the greatest impact. The organization will be working to raise $10,000 in the next five years to meet the fund minimum requirement.
