Jobie Jamboree

 

This weekend, Jennifer and Susan attended the Jobie Jamboree in Wisconsin. Thursday night, they met the SBHQ at the Milwaukie airport, and Friday morning PSG Coley drove them to the Jamboree.  

 

Yesterday they attended the meeting of the Grand Bethel of Wisconsin. That night Jennifer watched her friend crown a new Miss Wisconsin.

 

Today they attended the installation of the Wisconsin Grand Bethel, then visited with their new friends from Wisconsin. Here is Jennifer with the Supreme Guardian and Associate, the Supreme Bethel Honored Queen & Junior Princess, and the Grand Bethel Honored Queen.

DeMolay Leadership Conference

During the second week of August, Bryan attended DLC.

This year it was held at a Boy Scout camp in Washington on Buck Creek, north of Mount Rainier.

Supreme Session Installation

Yesterday, Jennifer carried the Canadian flag during the opening of the Supreme Bethel, and was excited when a friend from California was drawn as the SB Rep to Oregon. During lunch, the results of the Arts and Crafts competitions were announced. Jennifer placed in 8 of the 9 categories she entered, earning 4 firsts, 3 seconds, and a third. After dinner we attended the Miss International Job's Daughters pageant.Today we spent the day visiting friends, and tonight attended the Supreme Bethel Installation.  Tomorrow we'll fly home.

Supreme Session Formal Opening

Today Jennifer attended a practice for the Supreme Bethel meeting, the Royalty Lunch, and the Necrology ceremony.

There wasn't a whole lot to do near the hotel in downtown Richmond.  We didn't rent a car because we didn't think we'd use it enough to make it worth the expense.  This afternoon we went with friends from California to check out the nearby Hollywood Cemetery.   It was interesting, with several historic figures buried there.  It also had nice views of the James River.

Tonight Jennifer took part in the formal opening as a SB Rep, and was presented an award for her fund-raising for HIKE.  Bryan also attended, and visited with the International Master Councilor of DeMolay, and the California Grand Bethel Musician.

Supreme Session

Saturday we arrived in Richmond, Virginia after spending all night flying. We checked into our room, napped, explored the area around the hotel, and swam in the pool. Sunday we registered for Session, turned in Jennifer's arts and crafts entries, continued getting the lay of the land, and greeted friends as they arrived. After dinner, Jennifer and Bryan went swimming with a friend from California.

 

Yesterday Jennifer registered for the Supreme Bethel Representative drawing, attended a job's Daughter Congress, and visited with Daughters from other jurisdictions. In the evening, she practiced with the other members of the Oregon ritual team.

This morning, Jennifer was up early to compete in ritual, both on the Oregon team and doing Story of Job individually. She then attended a lunch for the Supreme Bethel and a meeting about HIKE. In the evening she went swimming with friends and then attended a dance to benefit HIKE. Bryan mostly hung out and read.
