On February 19, 2016, our Assembly was invited to attend Youth Night at Ocean View Lodge in Norfolk, VA. There were a group of Jobies, DeMolay, and Rainbow Girls in attendance. Norfolk Assembly and a few girls from Hampton spoke about the meaning of Rainbow.The Norfolk  DeMolay Chapter did the Flower Talk and the Jobies did another presentation using flowers to explain the meaning of each of the different Masonic Youth Organizations. Before the presentations, we mingled and had pizza and soda. I enjoyed this because I got to learn more about our joint Masonic organizations. There were also really pretty and detailed murals on the walls. I hope to go back again next year.

On February 20th, about thirty Rainbow Girls accompanied the elders at the Masonic Home for Bingo. It was a lot of fun mingling with the residents of the Masonic Home of Virginia.

Then we all gathered down the road at Babcock Lodge for a charity dinner and dance. The night was full of music and laughter. It was an excellent experience for my first time going to something like this. There was a DJ, bubble machine, and most of all, friends.

The Tidewater Installation for the DeMolay on March 5, 2016 was fun. Three of us from Norfolk Assembly LT were in attendance. Gabe was installed as Master Counselor and Abbey from Smithfield Assembly became Chapter Sweetheart. After the Installation there was a dance. They played songs like “Cupid Shuffle”, “Biker Shuffle”, and “Cotton-Eyed Joe”. Everyone danced to these and looked like they were having fun. At the very end of the night the DJ played “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri. I enjoyed this Installation and Dance a lot and I hope I can go to more.
