SWAPPABLES:
Something to share with another Jobie or friend of Job’s Daughters. This
is a great way to meet new friends and say hello to old friends, as well as collect special things for your
scrapbook. Swappables need not be expensive–use your imagination and make something to share.
You may swap at any time except Formal Opening, Installations or Grand Bethel meeting.
TELEPHONE CALLS:
All phone calls made from any rooms are the responsibility of the Bethel
and those registered in that room. The hotel will require a credit card at check-in time, if you would
like your phone to be turned on in the room so you can make outside calls. (You will be able to make
in-house (room-to-room) calls and receive outside calls without this deposit).
SAFETY & SECURITY: The hotel will be patrolled, however, you will make the job an easy one
by making sure your room is locked at all times. You may not leave the hotel without an adult.
Always use the buddy system when you leave your hotel room. Your safety is our primary
concern.
CURFEW:
Curfew for Daughters will be Midnight each evening. This means you
will be in your room to stay, doors locked, and you will not talk above a whisper.

CONDUCT:
Please follow the rules. We want everyone to have a wonderful time.
We are guests in the hotel and your conduct, language, and dress have a direct bearing on the
impression others receive regarding Job’s Daughters. If your conduct, language or dress is unbecoming
of a Job’s Daughter, your parents will be notified and you will be sent home.
CHAPERONES:
There should be one CAV Certified adult chaperone for every five
Daughters. It will be the responsibility of the Executive Bethel Guardian Council to insure that this
requirement is met. Executive Bethel Council members should not be asked to chaperone since they
are expected to attend all business meetings. Chaperones will be responsible for the conduct and
appearance of the Daughters of their Bethel. Any damage caused by a Daughter will be the
responsibility of the Bethel. Job’s Daughters, as well as adults, should conduct themselves at all times
so as to be a credit to our Order.
VALUABLES:
YOU, and only you, are responsible for your own valuables. Do not
leave them unattended! Please label items with your name and Bethel number to make it easier to
return misplaced items to you.
REGISTRATION BADGES: All adults, siblings, guests and Job’s Daughters’ members attending any

HONORARY STATE OFFICERS

JOB’S DAUGHTERS HOUR
To the Daughters and Bethel Guardian Councils of Illinois:
Grand Session is fast approaching! And Jobie Hour is something you don’t want to miss!
Remember to bring your swappables!
As always, Jobie Hour is a JOBIES (Daughters) ONLY time when we choose our Honorary
State Honored Queen and her officers for the coming year. The legalese procedure is as follows:
(1) The GGC shall have Honorary State Bethel Officers selected by random drawing
of Daughters between the ages of 10-15 or older if such member was initiated
within the past GGC years, except that Daughters nominated for Honorary State
Honored Queen can be between the ages of 10-20. Daughters must be present at
Job’s Daughters Hour in order to be eligible for any office.
(a) The Honorary State Honored Queen shall serve as the Illinois Job’s
Daughters HIKE Coordinator and HIKE will be her official charity.
(b) The Honorary State Honored Queen shall be selected by random drawing
from Daughters who have been nominated to this position.
(aa) Daughters can be nominated by any member of Illinois Job’s
Daughters or GGC member. Daughters and adults cannot nominate a
Daughter to which they are related.
(bb) Nominations will be sent to the chairman of Job’s Daughters Hour no
less than 60 (sixty) days prior to the Annual Session.
(cc) Nominees will be sent a letter informing them of their nomination and
the duties and responsibilities involved in accepting the position.
(dd) The nominees must send back their letter of acceptance signed by each
themselves, their Bethel Guardian, and their parent/guardian. The
letter of acceptance must be in the possession of the chairman by the
opening of Annual Session.
(ee) All Daughters who have accepted their nomination will be entered in a
random drawing for the position of Honorary State Honored Queen.
Nomination forms for Honorary State Honored Queen are enclosed. These are to be filled out
by the DAUGHTERS or a member of the Grand Guardian Council ONLY.
Jobies! This is your chance to recognize and reward the hard work and dedication to the Order you see
in your fellow Sisters. PLEASE nominate those you think worthy of this recognition!
Honorary State Honored Queen nomination forms must be returned to me, Aunt Tori CarnallHawkins, by April 27, 2015. Any postmarked or received after April 27 will not be included in the
drawing at Jobie Hour. Once I receive your nominations, those nominees will be sent a letter notifying
them of their nomination and an explanation of the duties and expectations for the coming year. The
letter will also include a form to be filled out by the Daughter and requires signatures from the
Daughter, their parent/guardian, and Bethel Guardian. These fully filled out and signed forms must be
in my possession by the opening of Annual Session on Friday, June 26, 2015 in Decatur. Please follow
these deadlines, there will be No Exceptions.

All daughters, between the ages of 10-15 or who have been initiated during this Grand
Guardian Council year (since June 2014), wishing to hold an Honorary State office may sign up the
morning of Jobie Hour, starting at 7:30am. Only those present at Jobie Hour will be given the chance
at being an officer! Please keep in mind; if you are a medallion holder in Illinois for the coming year
already, you are not eligible for an Honorary State office.
Please come dressed in your comfiest clothes! (PJs are A-OK! Jobie appropriate, of course.)

Hi – My name is Jo Bee and I hope you have had lots of fun this year. Our bees
have raised money for H.I.K.E., decorated a Christmas tree at Brookfield Zoo,
performed skits at Job A Rama and had a lot of fun along the way. We love
meeting new people and attending sleepovers, parties and other activities.
Jobies to Bee are an important part of the bethel. We are the future. I can’t wait
to see everyone again at session. The future of Job’s Daughters is strong with our bees by our side.
I would like to invite you to attend our Illinois Grand Session for Job’s Daughters
held in Decatur, Illinois on June, 25-28, 2015. Please make sure and register with
your bethel. I have been very buzzzzzy coming up with fun activities for us to do at
session. The bee room will only be staffed during the business (buzzzznessss)
meeting on Friday morning and if necessary Friday afternoon. When you are in the
Bee Hive on Friday morning, the Queen Bees will have special crafts for you to make. If you would like
to enter your craft for judging in the Librarian’s Contest the Queen Bees will help you get it entered.
Speaking of session if a Bethel is bringing a Jobie to Bee that will need to be supervised during the
business meeting, please also designate someone to help with this. Jo Bee will be there too, but she
needs some help from you. There will be a special room with fun activities. If you have anything you
would like to donate or suggestions of fun activities for the bee hive, please call Aunt Margo or Aunt
Kim (they are my helpers).
If you or your parents have any questions, please contact Aunt Margo Nelson, 309-397-8378, or Aunt
Kim Hammond 309-745-8012, or by email at [email protected]. She is so excited to see all of
you again and meet the new bees.
Well, have fun on the Jobie trail and we’ll see you in June!
Jobie Love,
Jo Bee
