OV #8 and #115 and 25

Bethel #8 Fort Wayne had their OV on Saturday February 18, 2012.  They had a wonderful OV.  The girls were great!  We did the Obligation Ceremony.  They also were the first OV to use the new Ritual. Kudos to all the girls.  They only had their new rituals for 2 weeks. 
We gave out 3 Ritual Awards for perfect opening part (remember it was the new ritual).  Great job Ladies! 

The Masons at Waynedale Lodge provided the meal after the OV.  Now I mean they provided, cooked set up and cleaned up everything for the girls.  It looked Beautiful!!  The tables were set for a formal dinner and the decorations were beautiful!!  The meal was WONDERFUL!!  Thank you Waynedale Lodge for supporting the Daughters of Bethel #8!!

After the OV we (Joe, Markanda, Jacie, Natalie, Victoria and I )stopped for a photo opp. You just never know when a photo opp will present itself.

The OV of Bethel #25 and #115 was a SUPER OV.  I was greeted with a whistle and a football scarf.  I had become a member of the Super OV Committee.  What an honor!  I loved the theme!!

The did initiation of a new daughter.  The girls did a great job.  If I remember correctly 4 daughters received the Ritual award (I know I owe them certificates).  Great job Ladies!!

We have a great day of Official Visits!!

Sweetheart Dance 2012

February 11, 2012 was the DeMolay Sweetheart Dance.   The Daughters of Indiana really know how to dance the night away. 
They all looked lovely!!  I have noticed one thing about these dances.  After you are there about 5 minutes, the shoes come off!!    Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the evening. 

                                                             SarahBeth looking cool......

                                                         What were they up too??


Hope everyone had a great time.  I know I did.
