Xi Beta Upsilon was on the move in 2023-2024, from Williamsburg & Busch Gardens to dining in Emerald Isle, kayaking near Swansboro, and touring Airlie Gardens in Wilmington. In Kinston, we watched "Dueling Pianos" at the Country Club to help United Way. And we toured and made donations at both the House of Hope for Women and the new SPCA. XBU members are Lois Charlton, Sandra Braxton, Debbie Smith, Diane Bowen, Sandra Thompson, Jan Fly, Donna Grady, Jessica Shimer, Shelby Smith, Nan Dale, and Cindy Mills.
