Mother Mick’s Bouquet ceremony.
when Mother Mick created Job’s Daughters in 1920 she called the members her “Buds of Promise.” As flowers grow from small buds into mature flowers, so too do the members of Job’s daughters. In honor of Mother Mick’s love for her “buds of Promise,” today we take the time to make her a bouquet of flowers that are significant to her life and our wonderful order.
