An organization was mentioned in class today; Daughter's of Job or Job's Daughters International. My complete lack of knowledge on the suggested organization prompted me to do some exploring.
"Job's Daughters International is an organization of young women with members in the United States, Canada, Australia, the Philippines and Brazil. We have fun together at activities such as swimming parties, dances, family picnics, slumber parties, miniature golf, marching in parades and so much more. In Job's Daughters you will make new friends that will last a lifetime."
Anyway, I'll post the link here if anyone wants to visit the page...
Basically, the organization was created to help those less fortunate, drawing the idea from the Book of Job that bad things happen to good people. It teaches its followers not to fall in despair in the wake of tragedy, but rather to rise up and live virtuously. It is the only organization that requires all of its members to have a relationshp to a Master Mason, though I have no idea what a Master Mason is. Perhaps I have to keep reading. Scholarships are given out of Job's Daughters and they even have pageants member can participate in. The organization itself is actually quite complex and the perfectly purple website a lot more detailed than I expected, but it's worth a look.
