Grand Officer Practice was a success. Most of the Grand Officers were there. We ran through everything! We all said our parts. We learned the opening and closing marches, which are so cool! The practice felt a little long after a long day of being outside. It was still great bonding. So excited for Grand Assembly!!

On June 2nd, Katie, Sami, Gigi, Mom Robin and I piled into the Chevy Malibu and headed down to Hampton at 5:30 in the morning. We stopped along the way to get some yummy Wawa drinks to wake us up. Once we got to Hampton, all of Virginia Rainbow met up and got ready to pick up some trash! All of Rainbow was in the same spot around the edge of the Bay. We found lots of great trash items, for example:  a chair, a ring pop, some crabs, and so much more. It was so much fun to be with all of Virginia Rainbow at the beach and help the beach at the same time!

On Sunday April 8th, we went to Grace United Methodist Church for the Rainbow Sunday service. The girls that attended were Katie, Sami, Zoey, Eliza, Jazmyn, Joella, Kate, Allison, Dalanie, Gigi, Makenzie, Vanessa, Ella, and me. The Girls and Rainbow Adults all sat down together and we even got introduced by the Pastor! We listened to some great music by the choir (Vanessa and Preston were in it!), sang some songs together, prayed, and learned some great lessons from the speakers. After the service, we all took a picture together and headed to the Lodge for the Initiation. I had a great time and I hope that I get to do it again!

On Saturday May 19th, Olivia the Grand Worthy Advisor of Virginia held the “Rainbow Regatta” Charity Dinner. The girls that attended from Manassas were Katie, Sami, Gigi, Dalanie, Zoe and myself.  We were packed in our cars early in the morning and we headed down to Hampton, Virginia.   Earlier that day we attended the Homecoming Grand Visitation at Hampton’s Lodge. It was a wonderful experience to go down and get to see all of the wonderful Rainbow Girls that live on the other side of Virginia that we don’t always get to see. I always have such a great time visiting with them. The charity dinner served wonderful food that I definitely enjoyed eating (the mac and cheese was amazing). There was also a huge floating shark and a rain gutter Regatta competition which all the girls enjoyed.  I can’t wait until the next time I get to visit all of my wonderful Rainbow Sisters.
