DEMOLAY AND JOBS DAUGHTERS, a match made in heaven
One of the sweetest memories I have of being the chapter Sweetheart of Pioneer DeMolay was bringing my Bethel and Pioneer chapter together. For many years Bethel #10 and Pioneer chapter, that both met at the same Masonic Lodge, had no contact. Once I became Sweetheart these two groups came together. We had socials, snatch-breakfasts, attended each others Installations and gathered together at Temple night. The girls came out to cheer on the DeMolay teams, danced at the Western League Sweetheart Balls, traveled to the Southern California Conference conventions, tried their luck at car rallies and just hung out and had fun.
One thing led to another and many guys and gals fell in love and got married. Six couples from Bethel #10 and Pioneer DeMolay married and two other Pioneer members married gals from other Bethels. Happily, six out of the eight couples are still together. Not a bad track record. Call me “Yenta”.
The lasting memories and cherished friendships made during the time I was Sweetheart warm my heart. Many of us have reconnected after 25 years including some couples who dated back in the day.
The DeMolay/Jobs Daughter’s connection is alive and well with us “old timers”. Lasting friendships, shared memories, along with love and marriage, truly was a bonus for all of us who share in this Masonic family.
Love,
