We know everyone wants to win Assembly of the Year, but this is Manassas’ year! We have worked so hard to get as many points as we can. We have Girls and Adults attend as many things as possible to get points for each event. One way we are also earning points is by writing articles for our website. We even made a competition around it! The girl that writes the most articles this term wins a prize!

Thank you so much to Mom Nancy who has kept up with our large Assembly. There are so many ways to earn points and she has kept us organized. We also have a girl tracking articles so we know who the winner will be! Thank you also to Gigi! We hope we can pull through to win Assembly of the Year, as we have been close since we started. Good luck to the other Assemblies! We all have worked hard and the hard work will pay off!

On May 20, Prince William DeMolay Chapter invited Manassas Assembly to their cornhole tournament. Sami, Vanessa, Joella, Ella, Leela, and myself were there, as well as a lot of DeMolay boys. We picked our partners and picked a number to decide which teams played each other. Mom Erin was my partner. We definitely underestimated ourselves! We won the first game and then the second and just kept winning! We actually made it to the final round! In the finals it was double elimination so we had to win by 2 games. We won the first game of the finals and then we lost the second. We came back and took the win in the third game. Turns out we were better at cornhole than we thought! Not to brag, but I had a pretty awesome partner!! We got to sign a cool trophy! There was also a food competition. Moms Joanne and Erin won trophies for the food competition, too! I also got a little tan from being in the sun for a couple hours and who doesn’t love tanning!

Rainbow is more than just an organization, it is a family. The friendships I have made in Rainbow will last a lifetime. Rainbow has led me to make friends not even from the same state. Everywhere I travel through Rainbow, I feel at home with all the other girls across the Country. Rainbow Girls are always so welcoming and loving people to be around. My Rainbow friends and I have made some of my best memories, like crazy fun car rides, the best sleepovers, the funniest jokes, my dumbest moments that we always laugh about and just everything I do with them is great. They are the best friends I could ever ask for and I know that they always have my back.  My Rainbow friends have provided me with endless support through the toughest times and I am so thankful for them. Thank you to any of my Rainbow Sisters reading this and I can’t wait for so many more memories with all of you!

It was an honor to participate in the DeMolay Dodgeball for Dyslexia competition in Pennsylvania on my birthday. We got up early in the morning and headed to Ashburn to meet up with the DeMolay boys and then drove to Pennsylvania. Along the way, we stopped for a tasty lunch filled with lunch meat sandwiches. There were two other Rainbow Girls with me on this trip, Emma and Sara, and two Rainbow Pledges, Leela and Ella.

My team, the Hedgehogs, lost on the first round but we definitely put up good fight! The two teams that made it to the finals were from Virginia, which was a huge win for us. The final two teams fought head to head and had a very entertaining competition.

After dodgeball was finished, we headed to eat dinner and then to Hershey Park! At dinner, all of the DeMolays sang happy birthday to me and it was so sweet. I am so lucky that I got to spend my birthday with such wonderful people and some of my Masonic family.
