On Saturday morning, June 23^rd, Emma, my mom and I headed to the opening session of Tennessee Grand Assembly.   Before the opening session, I competed in the Tennessee ritual competition. They have a competition just for out of state guests. Then we had opening and introductions, it was great to come back and see all of the Tennessee Rainbow Girls I have met from past visits and meet new ones.  Sierra, the Grand Worthy Advisor did a beautiful job opening Tennessee 88th “Our Adventure Awaits” Grand Assembly.   Later that night was introductions and all dignitaries were introduced and following that I gave my speech about Virginia Rainbow.  Unfortunately we had to leave the next morning due to a doctor’s appointment but I am extremely excited to visit next year.

South Carolina Grand Assembly began on Thursday, June 21^st. Sami is the Grand Representative to South Carolina. Vanessa, Emma, Sami, Eliza, Allison, Mom Robin, Mom Paula, and myself attended. Mom Renn and Mom Donna Kluefer were also there. When we arrived, we attended the special dinner with the Grand Officers and Grand Reps of South Carolina. We then went into the opening session. I saw my counterpart, Bethany from when I was a Grand Rep to South Carolina. On Friday, Sam gave her speech. I met a new Rainbow girl, Tabitha. They announced their new Grand WAA on Friday and it turned out it was Tabitha. We were so excited for her! We hung out with her for most of our time at Grand Assembly. Several of us got to be judges for the competitions. It was so cool to see the Southern Belle competition again! South Carolina was so fun! I loved seeing friends from our first visit two years ago and I loved making new ones! I was sad to leave but at least I will see some of them soon at our Grand Assembly and Supreme Assembly!

On Saturday, June 9^th, Manassas Assembly attended the Her-Burn DeMolay Installation. Carter went in as Master Councilor. Emma, Vanessa, Sami, Ella, and myself attended. Mom Erin, Mom Paula, and Dad Wyatt were our drivers. We made a couple of stops and when you are with a group from Rainbow, its always an adventure! We hung out until the dance later that night!

Last Saturday, June 16^th, Manassas Assembly had a lodge cleanup and an Adopt- A- Spot. We had 6 girls go out to pick up trash along the road. We also had 4 girls stay inside to start to clean out the cabinets and drawers. The kitchen was pretty gross but I think we did a pretty good job cleaning it out! Who knows what you will find in the back of the cabinet from an old lodge!! Dad Clancy went and got pizza for lunch. We ate lunch together and then cleaned up our supplies. The day was a huge success!
