Hampton Assembly had the greatest time at Paradise Ocean Club on Friday! We started our day off at the pool. We all took turns going down the waterslide and off the diving board. It’s always awesome when all the girls have fun together and hang out. It truly feels like family. After lunch we went down to the beach and splashed around in the ocean. Despite being scared of sharks and making jokes the whole time that the furthest one out was shark bait, I swam out to the orange buoy…super far out and faced my fear of swimming out in the ocean where I couldn’t come close to touching the bottom. After that we all drove down to DQ and got ice cream. It was an increadable way to spend my Friday and I am so glad I went!

On August 1st, 2015, Smithfield had their Installation of Officers. The Worthy Advisor elected was Lauren. Her mascot, the peacock, was presented to her by the Worthy Associate Advisor, Emily. Lauren named her mascot Pete. There was a dinner and a dance to follow. Two of the Richmond girls “stole” Lauren’s mascot with the help of the Grand Worthy Advisor, Rachel Cochrane. They schemed up a plan for Lauren to get Pete back; she had to let them smear a cupcake in her face to collect $5.00 from the visiting members for her charity. The dance lasted until 9:30 pm. Everyone went home after a night that was filled with laughter and smiles.

On July 7th, Hampton Assembly #2 held “Bring a Friend” Night for our soon to be opened South Norfolk Assembly. The Masons invited the DeMolay, Job’s Daughters, and Rainbow Girls to have dinner and present a short program explaining what each of these organizations is about. Hampton Assembly did the Bow program sharing what each ray of light in the Rainbow means. We watched the DeMolay do the shield talk and Ceremony of Lights. The Job’s Daughters did a program about what their flag means.

On August 8th and 9th, Mom Jean, Abigale, Zoey, and myself went to the Rainbow Retreat. It was my first time. It was an AMAZING and FUN experience! We did archery, self defense, painting, and swimming but my favorite was when we did a poster contest and I wrote a poem to go with the poster. Everyone thought it was funny! The people there were so nice and friendly. I cannot wait to go again next year!
