February 11 was the Fairfax and Fredericksburg Grand Visistation. I traveled to Fairfax with my parents and Mom McKinley. On the way, it snowed heavily for a good thirty minutes, but it had stopped and was sunny and clear the rest of the way to Fairfax once we passed Fredericksburg. The girls did a beautiful job in their ritual work. They did the program before closing the meeting. Every girl participated in the pogram. They did great and at the end, each parent was given a flower. Since the only girls that traveled were Fredericksburg, Fairfax, and myself, the traveling gavel was not presented to anyone. Those who were there got to hear all the wonderful announcements that Mom J made. We have five girls who will be attending and participating at Supreme Assembly this year. After the meeting closed, we had refreshments. The Fairfax girls and I then traveled to the Sweetheart Dance. We had a ton of fun dancing together and with the DeMolay and Job’s Daughters. They played good music and had plenty of snacks. All of the girls were missed that day but we were happy to know that they were safe at home and not traveling in the nasty weather.
