Since June 27th, when I was installed as Grand Worthy Advisor, I have traveled throughout the state as well as other Jurisdictions. My first stop was to the Job’s Daughter’s Session on July 8th. I met so many girls and dignitaries that were present. I saw many of them again when I went to DeMolay Conclave on July 30th. The ceremonies, meals, and dances were wonderful. I had so much fun with my Masonic Family. In between the Job’s Daughter’s Session and DeMolay Conclave, I had the privilege to visit Pennsylvania’s Grand Assembly Sessions with Erin Pendleton (PGWA from VA) as Kaitlin Nemic presided as Grand Worthy Advisor. At one of the sessions, I took photos with all of her mascots which were Charlie Brown and the Peanuts Gang. I met and took pictures with the Grand Worthy Matron and Grand Worthy Patron in Pennsylvania. I also sold four Rainbow Beach Towels and a ton of pins while I was there. Diana Jolly was installed as the new Grand Worthy Advisor. Her theme is “Friends are Forever” and her mascots are Winnie the Pooh and all of his friends from the Hundred Acre Woods.

 After returning from Pennsylvania with my parents, we then traveled around the state to all of the Installations where Stevie was crowned as Worthy Advisor for Smithfield Assembly #5, Erin was crowned as Worthy Advisor for Richmond Assembly #10, JeannaBeth was crowned as Worthy Advisor for a second time for Hampton Assembly #2, and Katie was crowned as Worthy Advisor for Fairfax Assembly #3. All of the Installations were beautiful and had very creative themes.

Lastly, I had the privilege to travel with our Supreme Deputy, Mrs. Linda Jenkins, to New Jersey’s Grand Assembly Sessions. Jessica Franklin presided as Grand Worthy Advisor. Her motto was “Stepping out of fears to make the right moves”. Their sessions were very long and the way the do their ceremonies were very different from ours. Kaitlyn Guttridge was Grand Outer Observer and was crowned as the next Grand Worthy Advisor. Her theme is “Find Wings and Fly”, her motto is “Faith, trust, and a little Pixie Dust”, and her mascot is Tinkerbell. I met six other Grand Worthy Advisors and got a picture with them. I had so much fun and look forward to the rest of my travels. 🙂
