Day of Service
On November 11th the Manassas Rainbow girls had a day of service where we did yard work for people in the community. It was super cold but we bundled up and headed out. We raked lots of leaves and also got to use a leaf blower! It was a lot of fun and it felt really good to help people with their yard work. We finished the day with cookies and hot cocoa.

Monte Carlo Night
On November 3rd, Manassas Assembly hosted a Monte Carlo Night to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. It was a great event and a lot of people showed up. We even had people come from all over the state. Thank you Kensley, Mom Kim, Lauren, Mom Michelle and Mom and Dad Grist! We had live music all evening where very talented Rainbow and DeMolay members performed. They were amazing! The best moment of the night was when Dalanie and the Manassas Rainbow girls serenaded me with “That’s What Makes You Beautiful”. It was also the best moment of my term. We also had various casino games with pretend money, put on by Always Fun Casinos. Dad Bobby mixed “mocktails”. He had a long line all night. Mom Paula organized door prizes and a basket drawing. It was a really fun night. Thank you to everyone who turned out to support us and our charity!

Rainbow Retreat
September 28th-30th 2018, I went to the Rainbow Retreat at Camp Overlook. I loved seeing everyone and getting to talk to girls from other assemblies around the state. I was honored to give the devotional on Sunday morning. I spoke about friendship, which is one of the most important things to me about Rainbow. Brianna read some Bible passages and Kaitlyn read a poem on friendship. My favorite moment was when we all sang “Lean on Me”. The experience was such a privilege and it is something that I will remember always. Kensley, thank you so much for the opportunity.

On Sunday December 2nd, Mom Kim, Kensley, Lauren, Sara and Reagan went to Ashburn to help with their Initiation. On the way up everyone was listening to Christmas music and got in the holiday spirit. Once we got to the lodge that we had never been before, Ella showed us to the bathroom so we could change. We had to walk down very twisty stairs to reach the bottom of the lodge. They were very scary but fun at the same time. We were warned that we had to be within two steps of the person in front to successfully stay upright. Before the initiation the pledges had their meeting and it was adorable. Then initiation began. Everyone did an amazing job and we’re so happy to have a new sister, Riley. They had very good food down stairs and we got presents for helping out which we are so thankful for. On our way home we all clustered together to sleep but it didn’t last long before mom Kim turned Christmas music back up. Lauren was half asleep and really wanted goldfish so we made her dance to the music to earn them. I had so much fun with my Rainbow sisters and advisors and can’t wait to watch Riley grow with everyone else.
With Rainbow Love And Service,
Reagan
