Day One - Jobs Daughters

Spent the morning Judging Ritual competition for teams here at the Jobs Daughters Grand Session at Amway Grand Plaza in Grand Rapids.  Had lunch with the men of Jobs, always a good time at Bethams Restaurant, and met John Coulture of Oregon, who shares the same faith as I do. He will be moving up the Supreme Line with Jeannie Link-Johnson.  Thursday Evening was Formal Opening.  All 15 Grand Lodge Officers were present to show their Support for the Youth.  It is great to spend a few minutes visiting with them. My Grand Marshal provided seats of Royalty for me during the evening.  It was more a throne for a king, which I will be using throughout the weekend.  In my remarks I related my experience from Clown College in Lacrosse Wisconsin 21 years ago.  I may relate it here some day.  It touched hearts, then I extended my challenge to the Youth. $ 100 dollars matching funds each bethel to go out and do the most good.  More information to follow on this project.
