Bethel 264 Installation – June 10, 2017

This is our 124^th Installation – That's 3 score and 2 yrs since Bethel 264 was chartered. .. That's approximately 3 generations of ladies who have been Jobs Daughters of this Bethel here at Evergreen.

Mrs. Ethel Wead Mick envisioned almost 100 years ago ,when she founded Jobs Daughters , the lessons of self-confidence, charity, leadership, public speaking, budgeting and finance, respect for parents and elders and the law, patriatism and team work as well as navigating their way thru adolescence.

These lessons are just as relevant today in this fast-paced world.

The ritual work has its own lessons about life as well as the mental exercise that teaches self -discipline and focus and builds pride.

As with any worthwhile endeavor, it is necessary to mix serious work with a little relaxation and play, which these girls certainly have embraced and mastered.

We are a little challenged recently with some vacancies in the line of officers but that has just added another lesson in life “that you work with the hand dealt you “

so we march on and the girls take on responsibilities of multiple offices.  They multi-task.

Four were installed on June10 by Jullie.  A few were away for the summer and some had work, so they will be installed later.

The enthusiasm these young ladies have is contagious . As they work their way up the line and get a little experience under their belt we can look forward to them embracing those leadership skills and moving into adulthood prepared for the crazy world beyond these doors.
