This was my first Grand Assembly, but it definitely won’t be my last. It took place July 17-18 at the Doubletree in Williamsburg. There were a lot of people there from all over Virginia, Rainbow Girls and supporting Masonic organizations. We even had some visitors from South Carolina. I also got to see my friend from Springfield Assembly, which doesn’t happen very often. The sessions were very long, but the ceremonies were beautiful, especially the Book of Memories. The Fun Activities listed on the schedule really were fun. The talent show was great, and I had a lot of fun performing Rock Lobster with my friends. The dance was really fun. I knew a most of the songs, and I requested some of my favorites. The Grand Banquet was one of my favorite events. Even though I couldn’t participate in Competitions this year, it was still fun to hear the winners and cheer for people I know. I had a really good time at this Grand Assembly, and I hope to be able to go to the next one.
