Lodge Installation

On Saturday, Bend Masonic Lodge held its installation.  In the morning, the Bethel 11 Daughters prepared a brunch.
After the Installation the youth groups had a Green Christmas Gift Exchange.
Last night we attended the last meeting of the term of Bethel 66 in Tigard. They exemplified the Initiation Ceremony. Jennifer sat in as Marshal for opening and closing, and did First Messenger for Initiation. 
After the meeting, we did a "last walk" for the retiring Honored Queen.

DeMolay Squires

Susan and Bryan continue to try to grow Pilgrim Chapter.  Because some of the boys are too young to join DeMolay officially, they’ve been holding Squires meeting.  Last night they inducted three more Squires into their ranks. 
 
They spend a little time each meeting learning about DeMolay principles and ritual, then work on a craft.
Bryan continues to be active in Boy Scouts.  Besides the usual meetings, last month he helped with an Eagle Scout project and worked with his Cub Scouts as they did a craft at Home Depot.

Bethel Installation

Today Bethel 11 held our winter Installation. We installed seven girls into office for the Spring Term. Jennifer repeated as HQ. Due to extreme winter weather, there weren't a lot of people at Installation, but we were very grateful for those that came.
After the ceremony, we enjoyed refreshments.
Last Monday night Jennifer returned to Bethel 43. She filled in as Marshal at their Official Visit. The girls performed the Obligation Ceremony for the Grand Guardian.
