Supreme Visitation & Masons Dinner

Last Saturday night Jennifer attended a ceremony to honor the Supreme Guardian, Associate Supreme Guardian, and Miss International Job's Daughters during their visit to Oregon. Jennifer filled in as Grand Bethel Librarian. She is pictured above with the Supremes and the Oregon Supreme Bethel Officers.
Last night Bend Lodge held a dinner to honor Past Masters and Widows. The Bethel helped serve and clear, and then held a dessert auction fundraiser.
The Daughters were pleased to meet a Past Grand Guardian from Bethel 11.
A Past Grand Master gave a speech about supporting youth, and used Bryan as an example.

Burbank #97

When Miss California Job's Daughters saw we were in Southern California, she invited us for a return visit to her Bethel. Burbank #97 is one of the largest Bethels in California.
On Friday afternoon, we headed north.  Before the meeting, we joined them for dinner. Afterwards we visited over a sundae dessert.
  
We then spent a few more days enjoying the parks.  We watched the new Pixar parade, and rode the revamped Submarine Voyage at Disneyland, which now features Finding Nemo characters. 
At the Grand Californian, work progressed on the new Disney Vacation Club wing. We then headed back to Oregon.

California

A few days ago, we headed down to southern California for a few days at the Disneyland resort.  We stopped in Grover Beach on the way to visit with my parents.
This time we stayed at the Disneyland Hotel, and had a great view of Downtown Disney from our room. 
At California Adventure, we checked out the new Midway Mania ride.  It's a lot of fun, as you "shoot" at different carnival games on various screens as the ride vehicle progresses.
