Quantico Pass it on Challenge – 5/22/2020

On Friday, May 22nd, my assigned team for the Goosechase Challenges, team Flora, continued work on our second challenge. For this challenge, we were tasked with doing a pass it on video.  I got dressed up and did my part for the pass it on challenge.  It was almost weird putting on a formal since it has been so long!!  I sent in the video to JoElla, our team captain.  I can’t wait to see how it turns out and I also can’t wait to see what the other teams have put together.  I hope my team can do well in this challenge since we lost the last one.

Herndon DeMolay Installation – April 11, 2020

On Saturday, April 11, Herndon Assembly had a zoom installation due to COVID-19. This was very out of the ordinary for sure!  The lodge room was set up as it normally would be, however, all the DeMolay members and installing officers were in different places.  Installing officers were not all in Virginia, and there were some impressive visitors too!  Some guests were from as far away as South America. I could see a couple VA Rainbow members as well.  I’m sure this will be a very interesting term.

Quantico Regular Meeting – April 19, 2020

On Sunday, April 19th, I was able to attend the regular zoom meeting for Quantico-Freedom assembly.  Knowing that most events could not happen as planned this term for any assembly across the country due to shutdowns, Quantico decided to divide up into teams and create Goosechase challenges for its members and adult volunteers.  Each team would earn points for completing the challenges and the team winning the challenge would get the most points.  At the end of the challenges the team with the most points will win!  Zoe asked any guests if they would also like to participate.  Multiple Manassas Assembly members said yes, and I was one of them.  My mom and I are assigned to team Flora.  I can’t wait to find out what the challenges are!

On Sunday, April 5th, my original plans for Rainbow Sunday could not happen so I celebrated in a different way.  First, I watched the Supreme Rainbow Sunday ceremony that was posted to the Supreme group on FaceBook.  This was so inspiring!  I especially liked the fact that two of my Manassas Rainbow sisters took part in it.  Kate and Alyssa both did a great job!  I am so happy they were asked to participate in a Supreme Rainbow event! Later that same day I went to the Quantico-Freedom Assembly’s ceremony over zoom.  This ceremony was also nice, and the message was very appropriate considering the current circumstances.  I got to stay on the zoom meeting and attended their regular meeting afterwards.
