At Richmond’s Grand Visitation, November 10, 2012, we did the skit that Erin came up with. We initiated Petey, and I did Service. Each color station gave Lauren a peacock feather that Taylor brought in to a meeting beforehand. When Lauren and Petey reached Charity, they got a mini peacock and… Skittles! The mini peacock got named “Oh Junior”! During the reception I handed out my new Rainbow business cards, and stole Petey. Kathy stole “Oh Junior”. We made Lauren collect at least $15 for her Charity to get them back. My mom made me steal Petey. (True story!!!) The cakes were yummy (thanks Mom!) and everybody loved them!

Richmond Assembly #10

At the School of Instruction it was not very crowded. not many people were there. I thought it would crowded. Sadly, I was the only Richmond girl there. I met one girl there named Cassidy from Fairfax Assembly #3. We exchanged information so we could keep in touch. It was weird in the beginning because all I did was go through the motions. It was good for refreshing my memory on how to do floorwork.

On October 27 and 28, 2012 Smithfield Assembly #5 volunteered to work at the Norfolk Masonic Temple in Norfolk.

Some people worked downstairs face painting while the rest worked upstairs tour guiding and scaring. On the first day Michelle and Lindsey face painted downstairs. Casey and Abby tour guided upstairs. Stevie, Lauren, and I worked in the Ghouls Room scaring people as they came through the room.

On the second day Lindsey and Liz did the face painting. Upstairs tour guiding was Casey, Kendra, Abbey, Nina, Vanessa, and I. Scaring was Bella and then later on Nina, Vanessa, and Kendra. Again we worked in the Ghouls Room.

At the temple, they also sold hotdogs, hamburgers, barbeque, fries, soda and water, and candy.

We were scheduled for Sunday October 29, but Hurricane Sandy made us cancel.

Recently, Fredericksburg Assembly 12 was contacted by ROC Solid Foundation about another opportunity to build in the area; we were very excited and eager to help out once again with such an awesome organization. This time we built a playground, instead of a “remodel”, for a little 5 year old boy named Dylan who has Leukemia. We had the Cochrane twins, Rachel and Micaela, with Dad Cochrane, The Largents, and finally my mom and me; we were all eager to help! It was a lot different from the other build because we had less people, and only half a day, but because we were all so dedicated, we got the job done just in time. The look on Dylan’s face when he saw the playground made all the work worth it. Fredericksburg Assembly can’t wait for another opportunity to build. Thank You, Roc Solid!
