Phyllis Schwitzer was instrumental in guiding the Psi Iota Xi Sorority, Zeta Chapter philanthropic sorority as they transformed the Bloomington Thrift Shop out of a rental location and into their own building, and from a very part-time operation into a nearly full-time one. The shop has helped many community members over the last 80 years by providing low cost, quality items for sale, then using the profits to support local charitable enterprises. Phyllis created, edited, and published the organization’s newsletter for over 20 years, compiled and printed their program book since 1987, created and maintained a member database, and has served on the board for 30 years. She volunteers weekly while carrying the institutional memory for Psi Iota Xi and its fundraising arm, the Bloomington Thrift Shop.
