On Saturday October 3^rd, our historic preservation event was held. The girls who attended were Eliza, Allison, Addie, Alyssa, Sinclair, Sami, Katie, and myself. We had a load of fun planting two apples trees on the preservation which we named Autumn and Johnny Apple Tree. We also took apart an old planter box and built a near in a different area of the garden. Everyone that attended worked hard and had a blast.

On October 11, we went on colonial ghost tour in Alexandria. The girls who attended were Alyssa, Eliza, Allison, Sinclair, Maribel, Emily, Sam, Kassidy, Addie, and myself. The ghost tour was very interesting. We enjoyed the story of the ghosts that live there, and it was fun to walk around the town.

There was also a stand created by Allison where she sold hand painted jean jackets and whiskey bottles. Everything sold there was awesome and everyone who showed up loved it.

On August 1st, at 5:30pm, Ashburn Assembly #11 began their installation of officers. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, only a limited amount of people were able to be physically present at the installation. For those who were unable to attend in-person, there was a Facebook stream that allowed others to virtually attend. I was lucky enough to have been Installing Chaplain, and therefore be able to attend the event in-person. Also, on the Installing Team from Manassas Assembly was Kaitlyn “Gigi”, as Installing Marshal, and Vanessa, as Special Installing Officer. The Installation team all performed their ritualistic parts beautifully. The newly Installed Worthy Advisor, Lorkin, then was crowned, and given pictures of her gavel, which was stuck in the mail, due to the Pandemic. Lorkin’s Term theme is “Nature’s Beauty”. Her motto is “The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn” and her colors are light gray, pure white, and pastel green. Her mascot is Totoro, a character from a movie called “My Neighbor Totoro”. But best of all are Lorkin’s Service and Charity Projects. This term, Ashburn will be doing beautification projects, as well as work with the Colvin Run Mill for events. Lorkin is looking up to be an amazing Worthy Advisor and Ashburn is sure to have an amazing 6 months.
