On December 12, 2015 the Smithfield Rainbow Girls became very involved with our community. Every year, Smithfield throws a Christmas Parade which has been going on for a while. This year, we got to carry the banner that starts off the parade! It was such an honor to be able to lead the parade with my Rainbow Sisters. We also passed out flyers to girls to share what Rainbow is about. It was such an unforgettable experience being able to be a part of the parade.

Kempsville Chapter of DeMolay invited Hampton Assembly and some other youth groups to join them for a Go To Church / Lunch and Laser Tag Event on November 15th. We met them at The Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Virginia Beach. Members from DeMolay, Jobs Daughters, and Rainbow attended. The people at the church were very excited to have visitors and were very welcoming. After the service we went to a Mexican restaurant for lunch. We were planning to play laser tag but when we got to the venue, it was very crowded so we decided to go to Lynnhaven Mall instead. We walked around, talked, and had a visit with Santa. It was a lot of fun and I enjoy seeing friends from other groups.

After returning from Wreaths Across America, Rachal and I decided we could make it to Ocean View Lodge for Bethel 3’s Installation. I love going to that Lodge and seeing the beautiful murals on the walls there and driving by the beach is always a wondrous view. Isabella went in as Honored Queen. She is very sweet and did a great job. I loved her star carrying pieces that lit up. She had a few guest singers that were really talented. Lots of other friends were there too. After the Installation, we ate and they had a dance. Even after a long day, Rachal and I had a fun time.

Much Rainbow Love,

On Saturday, December 19th, Bethel 39 of Job’s Daughters International had their Installation of Officers. Camran went in as Honored Queen. Her theme is #kindness39 and she encouraged everyone to participate in the hashtag when they post on social media. She received her own mascot, a cow, which matched her obsession for cows. After the Installation, they had a reception and a dance.

In Rainbow Love and Service,
