Bethel 12 Job's Daughters gather at the pond in Sidney's Legion Park for a day of fun. Pictured, from left, are: Chelsea Malson, Chantel Malson, Sarinda Bateman, Jodelle Schulte, Saydi Schanemann and Dakota Randles.
It is Founders Week for Job's Daughters, a local leadership organization connected to Eastern Star, Demolay, Rainbow Girls and the Masons.
Founded in 1920 by Mrs. Ethel T. Wead Mick, the civic organization raises funds and awareness for the Hearing Impaired Kids Endowment among other projects.
Young ladies aged 10 to 20 can join the secret society, according to Betty Schulte, local Bethel 12 Guardian, and members are eligible for state and national scholarships.
"We will sign a proclamation with the mayor at Larsen's Jewelry Store declaring this week, which is Founders Week," Schulte said.
The girls will also wear their Job's Daughters T-shirts to school to raise awareness of the organization as well as host the March birthday party at the Kimball County Manor this Saturday.
In addition to civic and leadership responsibilities, the group meets twice a month, attends workshops and builds teamwork through swimming, bowling or attending a movie. The organization's Grand Session will be held in June in Peru, Neb.
Youth leadership for Bethel 12 in Kimball includes Jodelle Schulte, Honor Queen; Dakota Randles, Senior Princess; Saydi Schanemann, Senior Custodian; Chantel Malson, Junior Custodian; and Sarinda Bateman, Chaplain.
Adults interested in volunteering can contact any of the local adult council, including Laura Bateman, director of ethics, Penny Stull, recorder, and Schulte.
