Grand Bethel Tea

Yesterday Jennifer and her Bethel attended the Grand Bethel Tea at the Oregon Masonic and Eastern Star home in Forest Grove.  At the tea was a drawing to determine this year's Representatives to Bethels in other states. Jennifer was picked to be Rep to California 5 & 6.

The girls then went camping at the beach near Lincoln City.

Halloween Party

Today Bend Lodge hosted an Occasional Grand Lodge.  The Daughters of Bethel 11 decorated the lodge for Halloween.  During the occasion they were introduced by the Grand Master, and held a fundraising lunch that was praised by all in attendance.

Bryan spoke about DeMolay.

Following the Occasional Grand Lodge, the Bethel threw a Halloween themed Purple Party. We had several prospective members for both the Bethel and DeMolay Chapter come and have fun.
