On July 17th, 2021, Quantico-Freedom Assembly held our Installation of Officers for the new term. We arrived at noon to practice and to clean and organize the lodge before our guests arrived. The Installation started at 4 pm, and I had the honor of being asked to serve as Installing Officer. We decorated the assembly room so that each station represented a different element, and the result was beautiful. Akshita was installed as Worthy Advisor. Our Assembly theme for this term is “Imagine, Innovate, Include” and Akshita’s mascots are the peacock and the flying sky bison, which she named Andromeda and Lefty. Our term colors are purple, blue, green, and gold, and our symbols are constellations, skyscrapers, and bridges. This term we are fundraising in support of the Malala Fund and Young Abilities, and we will be doing Lodge cleanups and volunteering at PWC robotics competitions throughout the term. Following our Installation, we had refreshments downstairs, which included international foods. Akshita first served as Faith when we opened our Assembly two years ago, and it really is a reminder to all of us of how far we have come. Each member of our Assembly is proud of what we have accomplished, and we are excited to keep up our work for years to come!
In Rainbow Love and Service,
