On June 4^th, 2022 the Grand Officers and Representatives met at the New Kent welcome center to begin our driving scavenger hunt. I was unfortunately unable to complete the scavenger hunt, as I was feeling carsick, but I heard all about the adventure of finding Love signs at various places from there to St. Tammany Lodge. At the Lodge, we painted Love signs, ate burrito bowls for dinner, and played games like Pictionary and Uno!

Pennies 4 Paws Dinner

On May 14^th, the Pennies 4 Paws charity dinner was held after the GV. There was a baked potato bar, desserts, and drinks. There were also some opportunity baskets, and Ella did NOT want me to put tickets into the baking basket (I did anyway!) While I did not end up with a basket, I did get to hang out with some of my friends and finish homework for my classes, and the baked potatoes were excellent!

On May 14^th, Quantico-Freedom Assembly travelled down south to attend the homecoming Grand Visitation. We picked up Anna on the way down and stopped for lunch before the GV. It was a fun event, with the best skit I have ever seen, depicting a college orientation for Kaitlyn. Mom J also announced her retirement as Supreme Inspector and named Dad Joe Grist as our new Supreme Deputy, which caused Mom Ange to cry. While it is sad to see this Grand year coming to a close, I can be assured that there are new and exciting things coming very soon.

             My mom and I met Sofia from Bolivia Rainbow at Red Robin in Dulles near Dulles Town Center for lunch. Sofia told us everything about Bolivia Rainbow and they do some of the same things as us. The Bolivia Rainbow girls wear mystical capes and sashes with their dresses when they go to meetings, installations, grand visitations, and grand assembly. Their t-shirts, hoodies, and hats in their jurisdiction is a lot more dressier than us. At their grand assembly every year in March- they have more than 100 people come to their grand assembly than some of us in the USA. Bolivia has 16 active assemblies and the Grand Worthy Advisor there is Viviana Moreira and she speaks Spanish. Bolivia Rainbow lets girls stay in Rainbow until they turn 23 years old.
