Norfolk Installation

On August 4^th, Norfolk held their installation of officers. The Worthy Advisor had her Grandma, her Mom, her Aunt, and a few friends make up her installing team. I can only imagine how special it was for her and her sister, her sister was installed as Worthy Associate Advisor. Her mascot was horses but she ended up getting Rainbow Dash, a character from my little pony. Her theme was “Little girls with dreams become women with vision.” Her symbols were dream catchers and eagles and her flower was a dahlia. There was a lot of support from the lodges sponsoring bodies as well as DeMolay and Job’s Daughters.  All in all, it was a beautiful installation and I can’t wait to see their next one!

Supreme Assembly – July 31, 2018

Tuesday morning session at supreme was initiation where three candidates were initiated.  All three girls were daughters of master masons.  After the morning session was lunch and since we weren’t going to the girls’ luncheon we headed out to eat.  We had lunch at Steak ‘n Shake including Allison, Eliza, Akshita, me, Mom Amy and Mom Louisa.

Afternoon session was where all the GWAs and past GWAs were introduced.  We cheered from the audience for Libbie, Rachal, Kensley and Mom Renn.  They also presented more jurisdictional skits.

Once the afternoon session was over we rested in the hotel until dinner.  My group had dinner at Panda Express and then we went to the evening session.  Evening session was the cavalcade of flags which lasted half an hour! Mom Renn also gave her final address.  They announced all the ritual competition winners and our own Alyssa K. won 1^st place for the novice age group.  Go Alyssa!

Buckroe Beach Adventure

My Buckroe Beach adventure started out the night before the event right after solving a murder mystery party.  We packed up the minivan and “kidnapped” Selena S. and five of us headed off to Newport News for the night.  We got a hotel room so we could sleep in and not have to wake up before dawn to get to the event on time.  That morning we had breakfast at the hotel and headed to the beach.  We had some trouble finding it so we were a little late, but once we got there it was sunny and fun.  We went into the water, played games and had a sandcastle building contest.  My ride had to leave early because traffic was bad and we had to be back for band rehearsal.  There were many girls from Manassas there including:  Kate, Dalanie, Zoey, M’Balu, Katie, Sami, Joella, Batu, Gigi and Selena and myself.

Supreme Assembly – July 30, 2018

Monday at Supreme Assembly was so busy!  My morning was packed since I had both an individual ritual competition and then needed to prepare for two group competitions.  Mom Nancy made sure we all had lunch:  mine was from Chick-fil-a.  After lunch I had my second group competition.  While we were sitting around waiting for our turn it was impressive to look at the other jurisdiction teams getting prepared.  They were so uniform with matching dresses and hair styles!  Once competitions were over I went back to Joella’s room to hang out until it was time for dinner.

My small group had dinner at Denny’s and then we had to rush to the opening session with so many introductions.  It was nice to see all the decorations with the stars that we had been selling all year!  We wanted to go to the hotel pool, but it was too late after opening session to go.
