Supreme Webinar – 5/23/2020

On Saturday, May 23rd, the GWAs from the west coast jurisdictions hosted a Supreme Webinar for all of Rainbow.  They divided everyone into regions and assigned a color for each region to wear for the webinar.  Our region was assigned indigo.   The webinar started with music playing until everyone could be admitted from the waiting room and at one point there were 276 participants!

Then there was an introduction from the west coast GWAs and told everyone that the jurisdictions would each have their own activity.  The jurisdiction of Oregon had everyone vote their way through a do your own adventure story.  Washington/Idaho jurisdiction did a craft with a pull origami card/envelope.  California jurisdiction created a scavenger hunt for the following items:  something holding a Rainbow memory; something Disney; school spirit; something representing a hobby of yours; the speed round to get a writing utensil, paper, and scissors.  With the speed round items we created heart beats to send a message to someone of our choosing.  Finally, Nevada jurisdiction taught everyone the Rainbow chant.  Our own Alyssa K. commented that we use it at our Rainbow retreat in Virginia.

Once all the jurisdictions completed their activities, we were able to hear from Celine the GWA from Ohio who was also selected to be the acting Supreme Worthy Advisor for Supreme 2020.  She apologized for not being able to attend the entire webinar, but she had a perfectly good excuse because it was also her birthday and they were finally open enough in Ohio that she could go out to dinner with her family.

After Celine was done, we were able to hear from Joanie Jacka the Supreme Worthy Advisor.  She had encouraging words for everyone and was so happy to see so many international participants from Brazil and Bolivia that were able to join us.

The Supreme Webinar closed after hearing final words from each of the west coast GWAs.  Before leaving they took pictures of everyone dressed in their assigned regional color and it took time because we were divided onto 11 screens during the zoom meeting.  It was fun seeing so many people and so many types of Mickey ears!

Ashburn/Quantico-Freedom/Springfield GV – 2/29/2020

On Saturday, February 29th, I went to the Ashburn/Quantico-Freedom/Springfield GV.  It was nice to be able to see so many people from Quantico Assembly!  I miss them sooo much.  There were several announcements about Supreme Assembly.  We found out that Vanessa H. will be carrying the Virginia flag, we also found out that Gigi will be the acting Supreme Service, there are also two other members from Virginia that will be participating in Supreme for singing and the Sunday devotional if Mom J can confirm that they will be going.  The skit was fun to watch and M’Balu even scared Gigi to the point that she jumped.  The refreshments afterwards were good and when it was over I headed home after a long day that started with robotics early in the morning.

Mardi Gras Party – 2/25/2020

On Tuesday, February 25, Manassas Assembly celebrated the last day of Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) with a little party after the meeting.  We all received beads before the meeting started to set the mood.  The meeting was over quickly (ended before 8:30pm) so the party could start.  There were decorations, refreshments including a cake, and plenty of balloons. We had so much fun playing with the balloons after the meeting that we didn’t leave the lodge until late.

On April 21^st we had a Rainbow social with girls from several assemblies.  It was really great to see each other again, especially since the stay at home order has made it hard to get together.  We talked and laughed for a couple of hours and had a lot of fun.  Some girls even showed their pets, so we sort of had a little pet show on the side. I hope we get to have more rainbow socials in the future.

In Rainbow Love & Service,
