We must be using the new rituals by May 1st of this year.

By: Kylie Johnson

On December 18, 2011, Miss Virginia Job’s Daughter Kelsey Koser, Miss Congeniality of Virginia Tasha Cook, the Grand Bethel Honored Queen Jamie Marsahall, and our Grand Guardian of Virginia Valorie Koogle presented an eight-year-old girl with a hearing aid provided by the H.I.K.E Fund.

Allie, the recipient, currently attends Brookwood Elementary and is in the third grade. She said, “Thank you for your support in helping me get my hearing aids.”

Hoping that the hearing aid will help her continue her good work in school, Allie said, “It will help me hear and continue to prosper with my learning abilities and listening to my parents and teacher.”

Allie’s new hearing aid was provided by the donations that were raised by Job’s Daughters and contributed to the Hearing Impaired Kids Endowment Fund. This philanthropic project of Job’s Daughters, raises money to help provide hearing aids to children who are hearing impaired.

She was a Navy Wave during WWII, something to be more proud of than any of those other titles. From February of 1943 to December 1945 she was a Navy Wave Yeoman stationed at the Bureau of Naval Personal in Washington, DC. One of her many duties was to see that a billfold, wristwatch or other personal items from a sailor who had been on a ship that was sunk made their way back to the sailor’s family. Tracking down these families had to be done secretly so the newspapers didn’t find out about ship’s sinking. She knew about the loss of a ship before the public or newspapers but had to keep it a secret.

Mary Ellen was born in Colville, WA. and grew up there helping her father on his farm, graduating from high school there in 1940. Her father was a veteran and was very proud of her when she decided to enlist.

She was the FIRST HQ from Bethel 13, WA.

She attended the University of Texas at Austin, getting her Master’s in Music in Opera Performance.

She was active at First Immanuel Church, San Jose, CA. during those 4 years at San Jose State, singing solos during worship services and giving several concerts in their sanctuary.

Heather is on the spot whether it is an impending Hurricane approching or at the court room, or on the street covering late breaking news bringing the citizens of Raleigh the coverage that they have been accustomed to since she started working at News14.

Heather got her start in television on ADTV at Athens Drive High School. In addition to ADTV, Heather was a member of the Varsity Softball Team and the Step Team.

After high school, Heather attended North Carolina State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication with a concentration in mass communication and a minor in psychology. In college, Heather worked as a student supervisor and sports official for Intramural and Recreational Sports. She also volunteered with the NCSU Chapter of Habitat for Humanity.

Heather’s first full-time job was with WARZ-TV35 in Smithfield, NC, where she worked three years as the News Director/News Anchor. Heather also produced local high school football games.

She enjoys watching and playing sports, especially football. She rarely misses an opportunity to cheer on the NC State Wolfpack or the Carolina Panthers. Heather’s hobbies include dancing, deep sea fishing, reading, and experiencing new things. The love of Heather’s life is her five-foot iguana, Iggy.

Heather wrote,

“I would be honored for you to use my name and information. My time in Job’s Daughters was such a big part of my life growing up and a big part of who I am now. …[M]y name back then was Heather Mallard. Everyone from Jobies and DeMolay would know me as Heather Mallard, but everyone now knows me as Heather Moore from TV.”

Her sister, Vanessa, was Grand Bethel Jr. Princess in 2000 so Jobies is a big part of her family life.

She joined after having fun participating in a Jobie volleyball practice.

She would play and sing for many, many installations and Masonic installations in the next seven years.

At Supreme Session, 2001 Jacquelynne won First Place in Voice, Piano and Dramatic Monologue.

She says, “Competing in the Miss California seemed a natural step for me after all of my years in Job’s Daughters.

“The Miss America Organization stands for four values; Community Service, Education, Talent and Physical Fitness. Job’s Daughters nurtured and developed all of these areas, and I count myself lucky to have been in this beautiful organization.”
