Hello everyone!
Just this past Sunday Kathy and I went to Manassas with Mom Norman to help the new assembly in their first service project. We put potatos in 10 pound bags for them to ship them off to any food bank that needed them. They called it a “Potato Drop”. We meet three girls and three pledges. After that we went out to lunch and talked about all the fun stuff that we do and some cool ideas for them
to start doing with their girls/pledges… !! 🙂

The Sadie Hawkins Dance and Carnival was also held on December 3 in Richmond but was from 7-11. Beginning at 7 was a delicious BBQ dinner. We had Rainbow Girls from each Assembly represented and a few Job’s Daughters who attended from around the state as well as many adults. The Carnival Games were set up around the room. We had a game where you spun a wheel and if you landed on a number, you received a prize, but there was also the chance that you either had to go to jail or win a jail free card. There was another game where you tossed a ball into a hole. If you tossed it in, then you got a prize, except one of the holes was a hole where you were sent to jail if you made the ball in it. If you went to jail, you either used a “Get out of Jail Free” card or had to get a friend to bail you out. I got sent to jail once and I had two girls (Lindsey and Kathy) who came to bail me out. We also had a photo booth for pictures which Claire and I had to do. Lastly, we had a fortune teller. The fortune teller was amazing and people would stand in line for hours to hear their fortune. My sister Kerry and I taught everyone a couple dances, Brigitte taught a dance, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. I was so pleased to have such a great turnout and so glad to see that everyone was having fun. 🙂

In Rainbow Love and Service,
