June 28, was the first day of Grand Assembly. Haylee L., Kayla D., Phoenix A., Kaitlyn R., Sarah R., Mary R., Jordan B., Jamyah P., Aaliyah P., and Caroline W., were there. We had dinner, then opening session. Opening session is when we open the Grand Assembly to have a meeting. We also watched the wonderful walk-in of the Grand Officers. After opening session we had game night where we played different games and had some snacks. During game night we had Grand Representative Competitions. Grand Representative Competitions were judged by Rainbow girls from other jurisdictions.
