Rainbow Retreat was a really fun event.  Most of our Assembly came and two prospective members, who we’ll initiate in October, came too.  There were LOTS of other Rainbow Girls there, more than last year, and I loved hanging out with everyone.  The s’mores were really yummy.  Also, the activities we did were a lot of fun.  I really liked the archery and the self defense class, and I loved the flower activity we did for the kids at the Shriner’s Hospital.  I had a great time and can’t wait until next year!

In Rainbow Love and Service,

On Sunday, July 26 Manassas Assembly had their Installation of Officers. Alanna went in as Worthy Advisor for the second time. Most girls were tired from a long night before at the DeMolay dance. We have gained a lot of new members lately. Our Assembly has 15 stations filled and we know we have 2 more pledges joining this term also. Many girls earned merit bars. Zoey and Gigi won Friendliest. Dalanie and Gigi were selected as Most Helpful. Gigi was chosen as Positive Attitude and I was voted to Best Ritual. Manassas Assembly is ready for another amazing term!

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.
