Job's Daughters provides members, like Carrie Trullinger (pictured below), with many opportunities for service and success.

On Monday, March 25, 2002, members of Mosaic Lodge No. 184, in Broomfield, Colorado, welcomed Carrie Trullinger. Carrie is a Past Honored Queen of Bethel No. 37, International Order of Job's Daughters, and is a first runner-up in an International Order of Job's Daughters speaking competition.

Many of the local groups of Job's Daughters have competitions with awards for outstanding achievement. They also participate in national and international competitions. At such an international competition, Carrie ranked second in the world for doing a 15-minute formal recitation, from memory, before a team of judges. She missed being number one in the world by only a tenth of a point. All this for a young lady who is barely 16 years old and who just received her driver's license! Carrie performed her world-competition recitation, "The Story of Job," before the Broomfield Masons. At the end of her recitation, she received a well-deserved standing ovation from a group of men who themselves are no strangers to speaking before groups. She then explained the history of Job's Daughters and highlighted its many activities. Carrie's Bethel is one of the most active and growing groups around. She said, "As a club for girls, we have great fun doing lots of interesting things, and we get to wear a really neat uniform." Carrie has been involved with Job's Daughters since age 11 and credits it with helping her develop the poise, confidence, leadership, and organizational ability she demonstrated so well in her presentation to the Freemasons.

Job's Daughters is an organization for young women that can help them learn important skills for life-leadership, organization, teamwork, and self-reliance-as they work to help their community. Each Job's Daughter honors a rich heritage that has been a part of this Masonic youth group since 1920. But most importantly, they have fun doing the things that young women like to do. Job's Daughters plan and share a lot of fun activities such as arts and crafts, photography, sewing, and creative writing, just to name a few. Also, girls participate in sports including soccer, softball, volleyball, swimming, and bowling. They like to sing and dance, too! In addition, Job's Daughters play an important role in serving their communities. For instance, they visit hospitals and homes for the elderly to offer friendship and cheer to people who might otherwise be lonely and sad. Food drives and other civic activities provide for the less fortunate. The Order's Hearing-Impaired Kid's Endowment, the HIKE fund, provides hearing assistive devices for children in need. Popular "Hikes for HIKE" provide a special charitable service, and this work with hearing-impaired children has led the members of many Bethels to learn sign language. Job's Daughters are rightfully proud to be "kids helping kids."
