After the OV, we held our annual Chicken Cordon Bleu fundraiser dinner.

Mother Mick Tribute

Today was the anniversary of the birthday of the founder of Job's Daughters, so during our regular meeting, the girls held a tribute to her. We also installed our two newest members into offices. Our DeMolay Chapter held a practice downstairs, then joined the girls for pictures and refreshments.

March Madness & DJR

Yesterday three Daughters from Bethel 11 attended March Madness. Bethels from all over our state gathered to hold a Jobie Congress, where they approved new rules to govern our Grand Bethel and Miss program. They also elected next year's Grand Bethel Honored Queen and Senior Princess. Finally, the Grand Bethel initiated eleven new girls into Job's Daughters at the annual Statewide Initiation. Two of our Daughters served in the Grand Bethel - as Senior Princess and the Third Messenger. In the evening, the Bethel girls joined with the Rainbow girls and the DeMolay for the annual DJR dance and talent show.

Safety Services Dinner

Tonight our Masonic Lodge held its annual Safety Services Dinner, where they honor local police and fire officers. There were over 130 people in attendence, and the Bethel and our DeMolay chapter had to help bus tables, serve dessert, and clean up afterward.

Another initiation

For our second meeting in January, the Bethel had a "fireside" meeting, where they run through the business without dressing in robe or doing a formal opening and closing. Then they joined our DeMolay chapter for a night of lazer tag. Then in February, we held a scrapbook night fundraiser at the Lodge.

At our regular meeting, we initiated a new member.

Initiation & Bowling

Our first meeting of the new term was today. We had a special meeting on a Saturday in order to initiate a new member.

Afterwards, we went bowling with our DeMolay Chapter.
