Pictures from Thursday Night's Formal Opening
Friday Daytime Session
Friday morning opened with the Grand Bethel Officers sharing their charges and officially opening the session. Roll call was taken of Grand Bethel Officers, Bethel Flag Representatives, and Bethels. The Grand Bethel Recorder read the minute, then the Grand Bethel Treasurer read the Treasurer's Report. The Grand Bethel Librarian gave her report.
The Honored Queens and Senior Princesses from the last two years were escorted and introduced. The Past Honored Queens, Majority Members, and former Grand Bethel Officers were also recognized. Other special activities throughout the day included inviting the first time Grand Bethel attendees to the floor for a special presentation, drawing Association prize winners, and of course, dance breaks!
Mr. Conyers, Associate Grand Guardian, gave a presentation about this year's philanthropic project, Covenant House. Don't forget to stop by the project table in the lobby area and buy a t-shirt or sweatshirt!
After a lunch break, the afternoon started with a Necrology Ceremony in memory of those we've lost in the last year. The Sew and Show Competition Fashion Show was held and awards were presented (see below). Our amazing JD2B's flew out of the Beehive and joined us for a special Bee Ceremony and introductions. Leadership Camp gave a fun presentation...have you registered for camp yet?
