Grand Session Day 1

This weekend, Jennifer and I attended our first Job's Daughters Grand Session, where members from all over a state meet to chose new officers and compete in arts and crafts, baking, sewing, performing arts, writing, and ritual (Susan had attended them as a girl in California). We took eight daughters of our Bethel. Here are seven of them just before the formal opening banquet on Thursday. This year Grand Session was held at a hotel in Keizer, just north of Salem.

Later, our girls sang a song during the formal opening of Grand Session. There were many leaders of the Masonic family present. Two of our girls are in robes because they were officers of the Grand Bethel.

Jennifer made the Supreme Ritual team. She will be traveling to Indiana to compete at the Supreme Session later this summer. We were very proud.

Here are most of the girls after the opening. Our past Honored Queen and Grand Bethel officer is modeling the crown of a past Grand Royal Matron of the Order of Amaranth.
