Ritual Competition 2012

Posted in Blog on April 6th, 2013 by admin

Our Ritual Competition happened on a very special day for Rainbow in my State. It was Rainbow’s anniversary, which made it a little more special, in addition to it being my first one.

Ritual Competition was a little intimidating at first. There were a lot of people there, and my first thought was that I had to compete against all of the girls that were there to compete. Later, when we had to sign in, I started to relax because I noticed that I did not have to compete against all the girls that were there. That was a huge relief for me! I have to admit though I did stutter and start to forget the next part in the different lectures.

Looking back on today, I am glad that I competed. Now that I know what to expect, I can’t wait for next year’s competition!

Happy birthday VA Rainbow!

I am planning an over-night retreat in August, most likely at Virginia Beach.  More information to come!
In Rainbow Love and Service,

Hampton Installation

On January 27th, Hampton had their Installation on Sunday at 2 pm. Dharma S was installed as Worthy Advisor and her theme was Strawberry Shortcake. There were a lot of lollipops and candy at the Reception and the food was great. Another awesome Installation!
DeMolay Sweetheart Dance
 On February 16th, there was a Sweetheart Dance up in Northern Virginia for DeMolay. I was there
with Brianna and Athena from Richmond #10 and the new Rainbow Girls from Ashburn were there
as well! Even though the drive was long, I had a lot of fun dancing to a variety of awesome songs!
Manassas Installation
On February 2nd, Manassas had their Installation and Alanna was Installed as Worthy Advisor. Her theme was Winter Wonderland. The Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Virginia was there and he made remarks about how great the Masonic youth organizations are to the young ladies and men. There was a great reception after the Installation!
GWA Charity Ball

On February 23rd, there was the Grand Worthy Advisor’s Charity Ball. The theme was ‘Get Your Glow On!’
Everyone was wearing glow sticks and neon clothes so they can show up in the blacklight! After a
delicious Italian dinner, all of the girls were dancing to the great music that the DJ played and everyone
danced to the ‘Cupid Shuffle’ and ‘YMCA’. There were raffles to win prizes and an awesome Peace Snuggie!
Over one thousand dollars was raised for Lauren’s charity, ROC Solid. It was a great Saturday night to spend
with all of my Rainbow sisters!
Rainbow Love,
