Grand Guardian
Mom Melanie Schoonmaker, Past Honored Queen, Past Bethel Guardian, and Recipient of the Degree of Royal Purple, Bethel 22
Hello everyone!
Three short years ago I was Mom Melanie, a Past Bethel Guardian from Bethel 22 in Alexandria. I was Mom Melanie, the gal married to the guy who dyed his hair hot pink because his Bethel earned a membership streamer. I was Mom Melanie, one of the women behind the piano. And then I was elected to the office of Grand Marshal and everything changed.
These last three years have been so much fun! I've enjoyed traveling around Virginia and getting to know all of you. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine the amazing friendships that I would make. There have been ups and downs, but I will hold the memories I have made near to my heart.
Those three years flew by and now I'm Mom Melanie, YOUR Grand Guardian. I am honored to be your Guardian; but the title I am most proud of is that of Mom. It is a privilege to be YOUR Mom Melanie.
This year is all about YOU. Dad Bill and I want this year to be YOURS, just as much as it is ours. We want to help you leave YOUR Job's Daughters' legacy.
I'm looking forward to traveling around Virginia and seeing all of you!
Jobie love,
Mom Melanie
