D8 TODAY REPORT
Bethel holds Majority Ceremony
On March 10, ladies from four Jobs Daughters Bethels were honored with a Majority Ceremony. This honor is given to those Daughters who have attained the age of 20, thus "graduating" to adulthood. Some of the ladies missed this opportunity in their Bethel for a variety of reasons. Natasha Kruger grew up in Bethel 264 along with her two older sisters (all three are Past Honored Queens) and there mother who was Bethel Treasurer for many years. Anna Seefried was a member (and a Past Honored Queen) of Bethel 257 in Riverside (which closed last year), Marizol Fernandez De Lara is the current Bethel Guardian of 264 who was a member of the Bethel in Chino (which also closed). Her daughters are now members of Bethel 264. Diana Ward was a member of Azusa Bethel. Approximately 50 people attended the special event .
