TheJD2B Program is open to girls who want to become Job's
Daughters, but are currently to young to officially join. Please note that the following is an example of what the program may be like. This is what Bethel 5 Manitoba used to do. The program is designed to
give all the fun of being a Jobie and keep these young ladies "buzzing"
with excitement! All you have to do is fill out an application form. Then you receive
a visit from some of the Daughters and adults already involved, they further
explain what you're "getting into"! At your first activity you will receive
your JD2B package including
a button, sticker book to mark all the events you attend and the name of
your "Bee Buddy", someone who knows what's what to help you along, kind
of like a Big Sister. The girls and their parents are invited to participate
in virtually all aspects of the Bethel. Parental involvement, while not
compulsary, is strongly encouraged so that parents can be involved in encouraging
their daughter and the Bethel in their activities. All Job's Daughter activities
require a 1 adult to 5 Daughter ratio. In the past we have had girls attend
Provincial Sessions with us, come to numerous fun activities, like sleepovers
and bowling, and some have even helped us do fundraising at Coffee Parties,
in Egg Begs and selling chocolates! Some of theJoBees
were better fundraisers than the Jobies! This allows the JD2Bs
several opportunities to learn and interact with the Daughters. When they
are initiated they will already have a good idea of what to expect and
will be familiar with the girls performing the ceremony since they already
joined as a JoBee. Initiation
is where aJoBee becomes a Jobie,
if you catch my drift. A girl is asked if she beleives in God, will respect
her country and all the world, will keep Job's Daughter "secrets" secret
and to be a true friend to all members of the Order. She is told a story
from the Bible, The Book of Job, and is explained the special significance
of this story to Job's Daughters. She is taught our secret passwords, signs,
handshake and knock. Over all being a JD2B
is just plain fun, much like being a Job's Daughter. If you are or know of
some one who would be interested in this program please
