On Saturday, November 30th, Manassas Assembly went bowling! This was my first activity as a Rainbow Girl. Sydney, Gigi, Sami, and I, along with several advisors, parents and siblings attended this activity. Thank goodness we had the bumper guards up or else our scores would have been a lot lower! We were a little worried when our pledge member, Sami, got a strike in the first frame of the first game. Just about everybody’s scores improved during the second game…..except Mom Nancy’s. A highlight was that all the girls’ scores were just about equal to or higher than our Mother Advisors! And Gigi had the Most Improved Score. Some bowled better than others…..but we all had a fun time!

On Friday November 22 some Rainbow Girls from Hampton, Fairfax, and I went to Occoquan Chapter Order of Demolay Installation of Officers. It was the first Demolay Installation I had ever been to and I was very impressed. They held it in the George Washington Masonic Memorial which was gorgeous, the lodge room was huge with two floors. Most of the visiting members sat in the nose bleed section but some of the others girls and I got front row seats! The installing team did a fantastic job with their ritual work. My favorite part of their ritual is that they explain a little bit about what Demolay is before they install the officers. Brother Alex Hite was installed as Master Counselor. It was very cool to see our brother organization in action. I am looking forward to my next visit to a Demolay event.

MCHQWA Ball

After the Grand Visitation, we went to the Ball.  The Ball was really fun.  We had snacks and drinks.  They were good.  We danced to some funky music.  We all were in our formals.  Sydney was escorted by Selena.  After everybody was escorted that needed to be, we went to Denny’s and got milkshakes.  Then we went to Sydney’s house for a sleepover.  We had an amazing weekend and I think we’ll do it again.
