Time:  from 4pm – 9pm

Place:  at the Manassas Foster’s Grille located at:  9417 West Street. 

While I was there I saw the following people:  Mom Joanne, Dad Bill, Mom Cherry, Connor, Vanessa, Preston, Dad Wyatt, Mom Debbie, Dad Carl, Mom Ange, Mom Louisa, me and a couple more people from Amaranth but I don’t know their names.

We had fun talking and the milkshakes and chili fries were good!  I just got the information today to check on how much money we made so I hope to have that amount at the next meeting.

On Sunday, October 16th, Manassas Assembly took a tour of the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.  It was free of charge, and our tour guide was awesome.  He took us all around the Kennedy Center and into several of the theaters.  I didn’t realize how many gifts from other countries and pieces of artwork are displayed all around as you walk through.  Many different countries have given items such as the marble for the Hall of Nations, the crystal chandeliers, and the silk curtains in the theaters.  There are paintings, sculptures, and even wood carvings and frescoes on the ceiling in some areas.  There is even a drum from the Beijing Olympics.  It was a really fun event.

Manassas Assembly held a Murder Mystery Party on August 3rd!  It was my favorite event of the term so far.  It was called Killing for the Crown and almost everyone attended.  The setting was a beauty pageant and all the girls in the assembly were contestants or judges.  Invitations came in blue boxes with white ribbons, and contained a tiara, pearls, tic tacs, and clues for the murder!  Everyone was assigned a character, and none of them were nice!  When everyone arrived they got a sash with their title and pretend money. Everyone stayed in character although it was hard sometimes.  Halfway through the evening the murder occurred, and one of our pledges was the victim! She was a good sport about it and had fun haunting people as a ghost for the rest of the party.  Then we collected clues, and at the end of the evening everyone voted on who they thought did it.  Prizes were given out for who solved the mystery, the best costume, the best actor, and who had the most pretend money.  It was super fun and a great bonding experience for our assembly.

On September 22nd the MCHQWA Ball was held at the Alexandria Scottish Rite Temple.  There were a lot of people there from all over the state.  This was also the first time my dad came to one of the dances.  My mom and I made him come on the dance floor for Don’t Stop Believin’.  I had a really great time dancing with all my friends, just like every other dance.  I didn’t get home until after midnight and I was exhausted the next day, but it was worth it.
