Job's Daughter Carnival and more

WOW, what can I say.  Another wondreful weekend in our Job's world!!  We had our first Job's Daughter's Carnival at Englewood Lodge with their annual car show and Lodge picnic.  I think things went very well and everyone had lots of fun!! 

The food was great and our carnival area was very busy with girls and families.  Thank you too all the Grand Officers who donated items, were there and/or helped out with the games.  Thank you to the spouses for pitching in as well.  It is all greatly appreciated!!  I know the girls had fun (and I think a few adults did too!!) 

I think the dunk tank was a big hit!!  We had many people volunteer to get in the dunk tank.  My hat goes off to you...... 

It was great to see everyone having fun and enjoying each other and enjoying the fellowship!!  We had about 5 prospective members.  They were given a scavenger hunt page to fill out with the help of all of the Job's people.  If they got it all filled out they got a gift.  Great job to all those who got theirs done and got their gift.

We gave Englewood Lodge a big Thank You sign signed by those who attended.  They were really touched by that and have already invited us back next year!!

The balloon release was a sight to behold.  To see all those purple balloons flying out of site and onto the roof tops of the houses was great!  Hopefully we will get some emails or guestbook posts of where they were found.

I can't say THANK YOU enough to Tiffany.  She worked very hard at getting this all put together for us.  Her hard work and dedication is greatly appreciated!!! 

For those of you who were there while things went wacky with my car, I'm home safe and sound.  A few bumps along the way getting here but at least I was among friends and was very safe!!  Thank you to Barry from Englewood Lodge and the many guys who tried to help in anyway.  I greatly appreciate their efforts!! 

1st Official Visit

Well our first Official Visit has come and gone.  What a wonderful day!!  I am so proud of Bethel #34 and Bethel #108.  I can't thank you enough for hosting the first OV of our year.  The two Bethels worked very well together and have set the bar very high for the rest of the OV's.  The decorations were just beautiful! 

The Grand Guardian Council this year is giving out Perfect Ritual Awards for opening (or the friendship ceremony if there were two girls in a station).  I was too busy listening to all the names being called that I forgot to count but I think the number was 7 in total.  What a wonderful job ladies!!  Keep up the good work.

Thank you to the 15 Grand Officers who were there.  It is always nice to see that back row filled.  I hope to see you at many activities this year!!  Don't forget to wear your Grand Officer shirts for the different functions.

Thank you to both Bethels for my folders and gifts.  I would also like to thank everyone for my Emmy.  I didn't even know I had been nominated.

Hope to see everyone at the  Carnival on August 27, 2011 at Englewood Lodge from 1 - 5 pm.
