1) Where was Jewel Degree held? At the Chapter's house/room/suite or whatever? At a private home or restaurant?
I went through Jewel Degree at our State Convention, which was held in a hotel in Dallas. The ceremony took place in one of the suites. My home chapter does it in the chapter room after Founder's Day.

2) Did an Alumnae Association invite the Seniors to Jewel Degree, or did the Chapter tell the Alumnae when & where it was going to be held?
It was highly adverstised as one of the events during the state conference. However, my chapter usually invited the seniors and any alums they new had yet to go through JD.

3) About how many Alumnae showed up for Jewel Degree?
At state, there were 15 that actively participated in JD. In my chapter, usually the women attending Founder's day stay to help, another 8-10 or so.

4) Any other comments on Jewel Degree?
I LOVE JD!! Like all of our ceremonies, it is even more fun when you can be on the other side! They year I went through, Mary Evens Glass' bible was present. Her many great granddaughter was present and active in JD as well. It added a nice tough of history to our ceremony.
