Manassas’s Term
A Summary of Our Term
This term we have worked so hard and accomplished many, many things. We had an average of 25 people attend our meetings. We celebrated 6 honor nights where we recognized supporters of Rainbow. We held 2 jean night fundraisers in which we raised $190 for the Scholarship Fund and our charities. We initiated 3 new members and have a new affiliated member. We lost 1 member to majority and 3 that moved out of the area :(.
We visited every assembly in Virginia at least once….whether it was a meeting, installation or Grand Visitation! And we attended the Grand Assemblies of at least 5 other jurisdictions! We visited the residents of MAHOVA 2 different times.
We attended the lodge sponsored super bowl party, St. Patty’s party and Easter party. We prepared meals for both the lodge and Royal Arch chapter 8 times. We attended the Amaranth, Eastern Star and DeMolay installations at our lodge.
We had a large group attend Rainbow Sunday followed by a cookout and kick ball game.
We held 2 adopt-a-spot events, a lodge clean up and made a meal for the local fire station. We had many members support the Supreme 2018 star program by purchasing stars that will be displayed at Supreme Assembly.
We had 2 members and 3 adult supporters that received the Grand Cross of Color.
We wrote over 100 articles that were submitted to the state website, a goal I knew we could meet 😊.
We held 3 bake sales that made $315 for our charities. We held a coin collection competition (which is still underway) but so far has brought in $275 for our charities. Between the doughnut sale, mystery dinner and silent auction we made almost $2900.00!
We got the traveling gavel all 3 times!
We have a Grand Flag Bearer, 7 Grand Representatives and 6 Grand Officers ~~ we will be busy again this year!
We had 22 people compete in ritual competitions and we brought home 19 awards! But the award that I am most proud of is ASSEMBLY OF THE YEAR! I worked hard to achieve it by planning so many activities that would help us get the needed points, however it was achieved because we all worked together. I am proud of our assembly’s accomplishments and you all should be too. I cannot stress enough to our upcoming line officers – the path ahead of you will not always be an easy one. It is not an easy task to lead and to be able to achieve all that we have. It will take A LOT of your time but in the end you will find it to be worth it, as you will discover a lot of people are counting on you. I challenge you to keep Manassas on top! Thank you all for letting me serve as your Worthy Advisor!
