We are excited to welcome everyone at out 70th Annual
Grand Session. We look forward to the adults working for the
good of the Jurisdiction in the business meetings, daughters
sharing their talents, and everyone having a rocking good
weekend.
Daughters can reunite with friends from All Jobie Weekend,
enter the many competitions and show their pride in Job’s
Daughters by taking part in events with enthusiasm! Our
Daughter’s Luncheon this year is a Polka Dot Garden Party.
Polka dot attire and accessories are encouraged but not
required. The Purple Guitar will be available for all daughters
who have not already had a chance to sign it.
Adults, it is always a challenge to juggle chaperoning and
attending business session but we hope you will make every
effort to attend as much of the business portion as possible.
Your participation helps to shape the future of our jurisdiction
and gives a voice to the daughters that you represent.
For all that each of you do we are truly appreciative.

compete to become Miss BC, to congratulate a Daughter, Grand Officer,
or Grand Bethel Officer on their year of service to our Order, or celebrate
someone’s upcoming installation.

Pageant Program. You can also purchase advertisements through the
