Why does it seem like it takes so long to blog? It doesn't. To catch up. Wednesday, I traveled to #22 to see another initiation. It was so good to be there. Amber has already been active with the Bethel, so I believe she will easily fit right into all their activites. The food after was so gooood. I really do love Italian the best.
Speaking of good food. Thursday night, I was honored to be a guest at First Bethel Guardian Council. Thanks, Jane for the sloppy Joes. I would rather have had your cottage cheese, but I could not eat it and the sloppy Joes, I could. We had a lot of good fellowship and Lynn and I reported on Supreme Session. Everyone needs to ask him, what a Tim Tam Slam is.
The OV's, Saturday, started off with 2 more new members being initiated into Bethel #2, Mikayla and Steffani. Mikayla is the stepdaughter and niece of two of our Daughters of the Nile members, so I had actually talked with her about joining last March at our Installation. I believe this makes something like number 15 and 16 since June and we have another one to be initiated at Shelbyville Monday evening. Then September starts and already girls are lining up to join. Daughters and adults you must be creating a "buzz" about our Order.
Did I mention that we had Italian for lunch at Clinton? Wonderful. I loved the smell of garlic and the taste.
In the afternoon, I actually got to do something, that I cannot say has been a dream of mine, but was so special. Our first baby to be dedicated this year was Hailey Mae Lucille Carter, my own little sunshine and granddaughter. The reason that it was never a dream, was that after the twins I thought Megan was finished having babies.
The Obligation Ceremony was also so special--not only sharing with the active Daughters, but also the Majority Members in the room. Did you know that once a year each Bethel is supposed to perform the majority and/or obligation ceremony at either a regular or special meeting? It is in the by-laws.
I want to inform everyone that Julie Cox is our assistant web master in charge of Bethel News.
Please send your articles about Bethel activities to her by the 10th of each month and then she will forward them to Tiffany, so all she has to do is post one file. Also, begin sending all media releases to Julie. Remember, if you send her or Tiffany a picture, you must have a media release on file for everyone in the picture.
