Bethel Installation

After a break for dinner, we installed six girls into offices for the next term.
After the Installation, Bryan and and several of the DeMolay State officers performed the Rose ceremony for our new Honored QueenAfterwards we had refreshments and a dance.
The DeMolay State Officers crashed at our house after the installation.  This evening we all went Cosmic Bowling.

Installations

Earlier this month, Bryan served as an Installing Officer for Mt Hood Chapter in Portland, while Jennifer and Susan attended the Installation of Bethel 19 in Gresham.
On the 21st, the Bethel had an installation practice, a gift exchange, and then went to the local cinema to watch National Treasure 2.
Yesterday was the Installation for both Bend Lodge and Bethel 11.  I was installed as Worshipful Master.
The Bethel Daughters performed a Masonic tribute, forming the square and compasses.

November Bethel Update

In November Bethel 11 had elections, determining who will be our Line Officers for the next term. Jennifer was elected Junior Princess.
She also attended the Occasional Grand Lodge in Eugene, where she met up with other Job's Daughters in our state.
And had their picture taken with the Grandmaster of Masons in Oregon.
On the last day of the month, Bethel 11 held a Purple Party sleepover at the Lodge. We played games, ate ice cream, and had an open meeting for prospective members. Later we decorated the Lodge Christmas tree and watched a movie.
