On August 1^st, 2021, Fredericksburg Assembly #12 held their Installation of Officers at 2 pm. Anna was installed as Worthy Advisor and I was asked to serve as Installing Marshal. Anna chose to base the assembly’s term theme off the anime Hunter x Hunter. There was a lot of theming around the entire lodge, which included butterflies and playing cards. My favorite part of the installation was when Ashley and the rest of the assembly put together a skit for Anna to go through an exam and to receive her “hunter’s license” to go along with the theming of the term and to find her mascots. Anna’s mascot is the whale which she named Shizuku. Anna also received a new gavel and sounding block from her parents which had the Hunter x Hunter logo on them. Following the Installation, refreshments were served. I am so happy that I was able to help my friends at a sister assembly!

Following the Installation earlier that day, my assembly did some more driving to the DeMolay Conclave Dance. We got a chance to sit and socialize, and to have fun dancing and seeing our friends. Some of the moms were having so much fun that we were the ones that had to drag them off the dance floor! We also made sure to sign in with Sarah R. since it was the first event of the “Countdown to Midnight” challenge for the Grand year.

I was so happy to start off the month of August by attending the installation service of Fredericksburg Assembly #12 with Anna going in as the new Worthy Advisor! Her theme for this term centered around the anime show, Hunter x Hunter. The Assembly room was covered in many beautiful butterflies and props from the show! I personally really enjoyed the installation because their was a truly heartwarming service for the crowning, the gavel ceremony, and finding the mascots. Anna’s charity for this term is the National Parks Conservation Association. She chose this charity because of how much nature means to her and she wants to give back as much as she can and as an Assembly to make sure that our parks are clean and cared for. This Assembly truly represents what it is like to be a family and have support for everyone keeping in mind that the little details go a long way. Overall, I was so excited to be able to attend the installation and learn a little bit more about what Hunter x Hunter is about and the many lessons that they share. I am so excited to see Anna lead these next six months with leadership and grow as an Assembly all together!

On July 24^th, 2021, Richmond Assembly held their Installation of Officers. Mom Jean and Mom Ange drove me, M’Balu, Batu, and Zoey. With 6 of us in the car, the drive was very fun and a bit hectic, as per usual. Samantha F was installed as Worthy Advisor. The assembly’s term theme is all about magic and fantasy. Samantha’s mascots are a griffon and opossum. My favorite moment was when the assembly presented a skit for Samantha to find her mascots and her gavel, which they called “the hammer of the worthy” to fit with the theme. Following the Installation refreshments were served, which included very cute woodland decorations and mushroom cupcakes.
