On May 15th, we had a lodge gardening event. We removed all the weeds and dead plants from the front area of the lodge before taking a well-deserved lunch break. I helped Dad Clancy and Mom Barbra putting together a few new cabinets for the Ladies Bathroom and then headed back out to help finish planting the flowers. We worked really hard, and our beautiful lodge really reflected that.

On August 7th, my fellow assembly girls and myself went to the Manassas Battlefield trail to pick up trash. We walked for about an hour and a half cleaning the path while admiring the forest scenery. I admired some butterflies and grasshoppers that would pop out occasionally. After our walk, we stopped for some refreshments and snacks and even got to take pictures with people dressed like civil war soldiers before we got in our cars. They had replicas of old muskets and canteens. We had a blast, and we are excited for other events Eliza has planned for her term.
Maribel – Manassas Assembly #14
On Saturday October 3rd, our historic preservation event was held. The girls who attended were Eliza, Allison, Addie, Alyssa, Sinclair, Sami, Katie, and myself. We had a load of fun planting two apples trees on the preservation which we named Autumn and Johnny Apple Tree. We also took apart an old planter box and built a near in a different area of the garden. Everyone that attended worked hard and had a blast.

On September 13th 2020, Manassas Assembly #13 had an Adopt-A-spot. In Adopt-A-Spot’s we go around and pick up trash for the community. We always make it fun because we have lots of funny and great conversations while we are picking up the trash. It is also a great way to bond and get to know the other girls. The Assembly picked up four bags of trash and got many compliments from residents, which made us feel very good. Afterward we all got Slurpies to enjoy on the hot day.
It is always a rewarding experience to contribute toward Adopt-A-Spot’s
