The 2nd regular meeting of the month was held on Tuesday, March 22nd, 2022. I was a protem for Confidential Observer which was my second time proteming in that roll and was very active and fun! The other girls did a phenomenal job with the parts.  Sinclair and I brought refreshments for after the meeting which was cupcakes and cheese salami bites with apples slices. The meeting started at 7:30 and lasted about 2 hours. The pledge meeting lasted about 30 minutes starting at 7. Many girls were at the meeting and the pledges also did a fantastic job with their meeting.

Manassas Assembly #13

On March 13th, 2022, at 2 pm the lodge came together to clean up the lodge. We reorganized all the drawers in the kitchen and pantry. We power wash cleaned the panels above the cooking stove. We moped the floors. We threw out old food and old spices. We relabeled all the drawers and cabinets. We did deep cleaning on the counter tops. We found some old dishes that no one was using so we either threw it away or put it in the garage sale pile for the garage sale in July. Everyone helped where help was needed. Very helpful activity and brought the lodge to work together.
