Nu Chapter held its January business meeting on Saturday, January 7, 2023, at the Catawba County Cooperative Extension in Newton.

The annual Treasured Roses Ceremony to honor members for their long-time service was held before the business meeting. Leadership Development Chair Michelle Shelly and committee member Lee Ann Perry were emcees for the ceremony. Each Treasured Rose was escorted by a Nu member who read the tribute and presented the long-term pin, certificate, and red rose.
