Well, it was a very busy weekend for Indiana Job's Daughters! Sorry it's taken me longer than usual to write, but I attended my own Bethel meeting yesterday and have been trying to juggle everything.
First I went to the Official Visit of Bethels #107 and #38. I loved the theme of "Are you smarter than a Job's Daughter?" It was hilarious. The programs were really cute too, and now, I can say I've fulfilled my dream of becoming Homecoming Queen. Most importantly though, I was fortunate enough to witness the Majority Ceremony. Congratulations to Felicity and Jean. I have known both of them for a very long time. In fact, Jean helped during my initiation. The girls did a beautiful job, in spite of Anita's cell phone ringing in the middle of the ceremony. Another great part of the morning was the presentation of the HIKE flag from Hubert Haynes, Past Associate Supreme Guardian, to Anita and Lynn for the Grand Guardian Council. Girls, Indiana is the jurisdiction ranked third in receiving the awards, and so we need to continue to raise as much money as possible. Make sacrifices, girls, like the pie in the face that I took!!! In the reception, they had cute little sack lunches made up, and "Are you smarter than a Job's Daughter?" really began. Anita and Elecia went head to head, with Elecia winning. Then I volunteered my Associate Bethel Guardian, Dave Peter, to be a contestant. Dave beat the Associate Bethel Guardian from Bethel #107. He showed us his certificate at the meeting last night. He is very proud.
Next, I went to Bethel #86, West Newton for their Official Visit with Bethel #99. I had a lot of fun, sitting in the back with Genesis as Guide and Marshal. Unfortunately, they didn't initiate as they had planned to, but they did a beautiful tribute to the Bethel Flag. They are supposed to intiate on October 5th, and they need lots of help so check out the Bulletins page for more information on that. I had a good time there, and my favorite part of the meeting was when all of the adults looked completely stumped when Alicia said "Jolly Rancher." It's a part of their tradition. They pick some random word before the meeting, and Alicia says it during a part of the meeting when the girls aren't expecting it. The girls are supposed to shout it out. It keeps the girls listening and paying attention during the meeting. I thought it was an interesting idea.
Sunday, Anita and I traveled to Fort Wayne for the Hike Tea Silent Auction. The little baskets the girls had made were so cute, especially this little Frankenstein one! I had a great time just talking with the girls and other friends from around the state. I won a door prize, which was cool. It was great to see everyone, especially a prospective member for a Bethel up there, as well as a girl that had been newly initiated.
Overall, I had a great weekend. I hope everyone is planning on going to the Coronation Ball on October 23rd! It'll be groovy with the 60's theme. I hope some of you are planning to go out for the Coronation Queen and Junior Coronation Queen. After all, Genesis and I are going to need some practice crowning!!!
