Morning Grand Assembly Day 7/18/2020

On July 18, 2020 early in the morning (too early for me) I took off with my mom to Richmond for this year’s Grand Assembly day.  It was so different from any VA Grand Assembly I had gone to before since this one occurred amid a global pandemic.  We arrived a little before 9am and I got changed into my grand officer dress (in the car) for the morning session.  Everything was so different since I had to walk into the building wearing a mask.  After that I had to have a temperature check, then I had to go to another table and answer questions to find out if I was at risk of having or spreading the virus.  Finally, before being able to go into the assembly room I had to be checked off a list of invited people.  The morning consisted of initiation, the memorial service, and some speeches.  Then we were released for lunch before the afternoon session.
