This note comes from Mom Pam Buffalow, BG #48, regarding the Western Jobie Doll:

On October 17, 2007, the Western Missouri Jobie Doll “Marie” traveled from Bethel #33 to Bethel #48.  she will reside there until another Bethel comes and takes her home with them.  Bethel #48 meets on 1st and 3rd Mondays at 7:00 p.m. at Blue Springs Masonic Temple.  Her first meeting at Bethel #48 was November 5, so our November 19th meeting will be the second meeting Marie has been with us.

As with the Eastern Jobie Doll, any ten members of one Bethel (and an appropriate number of chaperones) may extend Marie's traveling ways if they attend one of the first three meetings of the Bethel where she is staying. After that, the visiting daughter(s) with the greatest total travel distance will take her for a ride.

This note comes from Bill Walker, PSG, President BOT, regarding the price restructuring from Doc Morgan, Inc.  While it was addressed to Grand Guardians and Grand Secretaries, it concerns all Bethels.  The letter referred to in this note has been accessible from MissouriIOJD's home page for some time now, but incase you have misse it, Click on the DMI Price Restructuring link.:

Hello Grand Guardians and Grand Secretaries of GGC of USA. :)

I am writing to remind you all of the upcoming price restructuring to the pricing at Doc Morgan, Inc. This can be explained by reading the posting at our web site:

http://iojd.org/DMI/PriceRestructuring2008.htm

I am in hopes that you will spread the word in your travels, as well as on your GGC web sites, newsletters, bulletins, e-mail announcements. Any way to get the word out so our members and adults will be informed of the upcoming changes.

ALSO.....it would be great to get the word out that anyone can e-mail DMI (customers@docmorgan.com) and request a new catalog and price sheet. They have until December 20th to make this request. DMI will then mail them a price list and catalog AS WELL AS A COUPON FOR 10% OFF their first purchase in 2008 (03/30/08 deadline.)

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. Thanks for helping spread the word about the pricing restructure AND the catalog availability.

Sincerely,
W.F. (Bill) Walker, PASG

This note comes from Ginny Goede, Grand Secretary, regarding a letter to the Bethels from the IRS:

I spoke with the IRS today about some Bethels getting letters and others not. They informed me that they are just beginning to send out letters and have more to send. So, if you get your letter, keep it on file, if you don't get one, around the end of January I will give you instructions. The only thing I will need to know if you had over $25,000. in receipts for the year 2007. What will happen is you will have to go to USGOV on the internet, they will have a card come up that will be a 990N You will need to know your EIN number which you all have. It starts usually with a 23- or 43- and has seven numbers following the dash.  So, we will just wait until about the end of January and when I see what this Form is, I will assist with any questions.

If you are wondering what it needs Job's Daughters International, Bethel #____ Mailing address, website address if you have one, your EIN, Name and address of Guardian, tax period 1/107-12/31/07 and to tell them you did not have receipts in excess of $25,000.00. I just want to keep everyone informed, you might want to let your Council know about this happening so in the future, everyone will know what we are talking about.
