A Grand Year: Glinda’s Getaway Retreat Day 1

Between June 2019 and March 2020 we had many Grand Assembly Events and I think that during this time it is very important to remember all the good things that we got to do!

Rainbow Retreat was a three-day event that took place at Camp Overlook this year. We named the Retreat “Glinda’s Getaway Retreat” after our grand year, and it was a super fun time! Over the three days, we made a ton of good memories.

On the first night, girls arrived at the camp and set up our cabins. We had to clean the different areas to make sure everything would be ready for the events we had planned. We played games and watched movies as we waited for everyone to get to the camp. The group leaders had a meeting where we talked about all the events we had planned for the next morning. By the end of the first night, most of our girls had arrived at camp and set up their bunks in the cabins. Our girls were very excited, and we stayed up most of the night talking and laughing with each other, very excited for what the next day had in store!

A Grand Year: Making A Video

One of the happier sides of social distancing has been the virtual communication between rainbow jurisdictions! I had the chance to do a ”Virginia Rainbow Takeover” on the Grand Worthy Advisors Facebook page, to tell the girls from all over what it is we have done this year. I decided to make a YouTube video of me explaining everything- and then upload that to the page.

In this video, I decided I would try to be a little entertaining, so I did my makeup while explaining our term to everyone. I received a lot of messages about how to improve my makeup skills (I do not have any makeup skills) and about how cool our grand term sounded. It was great to talk to people from all over, and I am so glad I had the opportunity to do it!

A Grand Year: Toys-4-Tots

Between June 2019 and March 2020 we had many Grand Assembly Events and I think that during this time it is very important to remember all the good things that we got to do!

In December we went to a Toys-4-Tots facility in Richmond to help them sort toys that were to be delivered to families for Christmas. This event was coordinated by Allison, Grand Fidelity, who got in contact with the Toys-4-Tots coordinator and advertised to our girls. We had a lot of participation from the different assemblies, and we ended up sorting toys for around 3 hours. It was a great day where we had the opportunity to help out with a great organization.
