California Trip

Jennifer had been named a Grand Bethel Representative to California at Grand Session. In August, she sent letters out to all the Bethels in California. Soon after, we began getting responses. Bethel No 185 in Napa sent us an email containing their schedule for the fall. When we saw that they were having an initiation and official visit today, we decided to pay them a visit. We drove down Friday night in our RV, and on Saturday morning Jennifer recited the 1st, 2nd and 5th Messenger parts for their initiation. They initiated 3 new girls into their Bethel, The Deputy of the Grand Guardian was very impressed with Jennifer's performance.  
Following the initiation, we went to Vallejo to help the Napa daughters at a car wash. They were raising money for the travel fund for their Grand Bethel officer, the California Representative to Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. At the end of the car wash, the daughters presented Jennifer with a t-shirt they had signed, and designated her an honorary member of their Bethel.
Today we went with Bethel 185 on a Mystery Trip. We drove east of Sacramento, and floated down the American River. About a dozen girls went, along with a few DeMolay and Bethel Council members. Before and afterward we had picnic lunch and dinner. It was a lot of fun.
