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 75 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 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.
