Jan McDermott of Jefferson was recently honored by the Beta Tau Delta sorority for 50 years of membership. McDermott has held every office in the organization and was a chair of the very popular Charity Ball, which annually kicked off the Christmas holiday social season in Jefferson and was a major fundraising event for the sorority for 60+ years. She is pictured in the back row wearing pink, with other members of the sorority celebrating her golden anniversary of memberships.

The Greene County sorority, more than 100 years old, raises money through donations for projects to support the children of the county.
