 
Job's
Daughters has a rich heritage and tradition. The group was
founded in 1920 to provide an opportunity for young women
to work together, to learn about themselves and to help others.
Job's Daughters is open to girls ages 10 to 20 who have a
Masonic Heritage. We do not follow any specific religion,
but do require that our members have a belief in God.
For
over 87 years, Job's Daughters has been actively promoting
friendship and service. The organization was founded by Mrs.
Ethel T. Wead Mick in Omaha, Nebraska. The group takes its
name from the Book of Job, and in particular to a reference
in the 42nd Chapter that says, "And in all the land
were no women found so fair as the Daughters of Job."
Meetings
follow a long tradition of order. The Officers wear traditional
Grecian robes, symbols of democracy and equality, provided
by the Bethel. Other members wear dresses to meetings. Meetings
are held twice a month. Programs are planned and conducted
by the members with the help of adult volunteers.
To
become a Job's Daughter does not involve an embarrassing
ritual or test of courage. Initiations are solemn, meaningful
ceremonies presented by the Bethel Officers. Parents are
welcome at initiations and all of the meetings.
To
be a member of Job's Daughters is to be part of a group that
promotes friendship among young women and confidence in themselves.
As a member you will learn skills that will help you throughout
your life. You will become part of an organization that serves
the community. Most importantly, you will have fun.
