Hampton Assembly attended the Kempsville Chapter DeMolay Installation on a recent Saturday night. Jared was elected Master Councilor. All the boys did a wonderful job and they had so many visitors they had to add chairs on the sidelines and in the West. Dad Williams did the Flower Talk and we were all impressed with his ritual work.

Afterwards there was a dance and lots of people stayed and hung out until late.

Much Rainbow Love,

Rachal and I travelled on a rainy Sunday to Roanoke to attend their Installation. It is always fun to go there and see the guys. They don’t get many visitors because they are so far away and they don’t have Rainbow Girls nearby. Tidewater and Kempsville Demolay also went. They were happy to see us. Keith Yancey was their new Master Councilor. The Installation was very nice. At the reception we had sandwiches and chips while we sat and visited with everyone. It was nice to catch up wth them since we don’t see them often.

On the way home, we did some sight seeing and took lots of pictures. It is a long drive but we love getting to spend time together.

Much Rainbow Love,

On Tuesday March 1, 2016, the Norfolk Rainbow Girls attended the South Norfolk Masonic Lodge dinner. Dad John Wallace Springer (Dad Chum) made a delicious chicken stew and cornbread and we had ice cream and brownies for dessert. Before we had dessert, there was a flag ceremony. It was presented by Portsmouth Commandery No 5.

We go to our Lodge every month to support our Masonic District and enjoy the food that they make and the fellowship that comes with eating with our sponsoring body. Join us on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm.

On February 13th, Hampton Assembly went to the Grand Amaranth Installation. This was the first Amaranth Installation I’ve ever been to and it was beautiful. Julie Gangsler went in as Grand Royal Matron and she asked us to be there to help hand out programs, carry ins, and so that she can promote our organizations. She is a huge supporter of the youth and it has been wonderful getting to know her. The uncrowning and crowning ceremonies were absolutely amazing (along with the crowns themselves). All of the people were so welcoming and friendly. There were so many people who asked us about Rainbow and told us the stories of their youth. Everything looked so well rehearsed during the ceremony and their floor work was stunning. I could not have asked for a better first experience.
