Job's Daughters Recognized for Charitable Efforts

Two Pennsylvania Job's Daughters, Jennifer Ehrhart and Tamara Matuzsky, were recognized recently by the Supreme Guardian Council, Job's Daughters International, and received commemorative medallions and certificates for their exceptional efforts on behalf of the Hearing Impaired Kids Endowment (H.I.K.E.) Fund. They raised more than $1,000 each for the charity, which is the philanthropic project of Job's Daughters.

Jennifer is a member of Bethel No. 1, York, and served as the Daughter Chairman for the Pennsylvania H.I.K.E. Committee for 2002-2003. She spearheaded statewide fundraising efforts and encouraged other members to seek sponsors and donations for the annual "Hike for H.I.K.E." Two of her most successful programs included a dance-a-thon for all Masonic youth and selling lengths of duct-tape to fasten the then-Associate Grand Guardian, Bro. John L. McCain, Jr., to a wall. Her efforts yielded in excess of $8,500 for the H.I.K.E. Fund.

Tamara, a member of Bethel No. 5, Derry, raised more than $1,000 for the charity by "pounding the pavement" and going door-to-door asking for donations. Her personal efforts spurred on the other members of her Bethel, who raised over $200 each.
