Well, I had the pleasure of being home this weekend, a pleasure I have not had in a while.
First of all, I would like to welcome two new members to our Order, and more specifically to my Bethel. I was so happy to welcome Steffani and Mikayla to our organization yesterday. I was even more excited than usual to initiate since my Bethel has not initiated since my term as Honored Queen from December 2008 to June 2009. I was happy to meet some of Clinton's members for the first time. It's always nice to see new faces in our organization, though not always nice to have to learn their names, but that's just because I'm awful with names.
Second of all, I just have to say that I am so proud of my Bethel. We have been doing practice initiation a lot this term to prepare for initiating these new members, and that is the best we have done initiation yet. I only hope that we get to use it again for more new candidates. I would also like to thank those that came and helped us initiate those new members. I truly appreciate it, and I know that I can speak on behalf of my Bethel when I say that they truly appreciate all of your help too. Thanks to everyone that attended!
Best of all though, I got homemade ice cream afterwards. Oh my goodness, it was so good!!! I put chocolate syrup and cookie crumbles on mine, but sadly, I couldn't even finish my sundae because all of the Italian food for the main course was so tasty too.
From there, I went to Bethel #121, Knightsville for the Official Visit of Bethels 121 and 110. I was so happy to see Jamie since I have not seen her in forever!!! I did well on my part for the Obligation Ceremony that I learned in five minutes, which made me extremely proud of myself, and even better was getting to hear Anita dedicate her granddaughter, Hailey, and hear her get so sentimental when she talked about some of her Grand Officers. The sidelines were pretty full at both Bethels, and I was so happy to be able to be a part of both ceremonies.
Well, the next big event on the agenda is Job-A-Rama, and I am so excited that we will be able to welcome the Supreme Team. I hope everyone has been working on their skits so we can really impress them and show them how truly unique the Indiana Daughters are. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT HEARD ME ANNOUNCE IT AT THE OFFICIAL VISITS, SKITS ARE TO BE NO LONGER THAN FIVE (5) MINUTES LONG!!! I can't wait to see you all there. Then we'll be rushing to Masonic Home Day for another great day full of fun and friendship.
