On the day we went to Masonic family day, the Rainbow girls went to the scholarship bowl-a-thon to fund raise for our scholarship fund this year. It was me, Phoenix, Kaitlyn, and Libbie to support it. We were able to play three games before we left and it was fun hanging out with everybody!!

Order of the Amaranth Opening Session
On Thursday February 13th, 2020, Virginia Grand Court had their opening session where Manassas Assembly was represented by Gigi, Dalanie and Mom Priscilla. Mom Ann Bailey presided as Grand Royal Matron. Sister Sara from Hampton Assembly gave the flag tribute for the Amaranth Flag. We heard speeches from the various heads of the Masonic bodies. I spoke on behalf of Virginia Rainbow, talking about how Amaranth helped my family when my brother was sick in 2008. Overall it was a very nice day!

MCHQWA is a ball where everyone from all over the state came together to have fun at a very exciting dance. The Norfolk rainbow girls were very happy to attend this very exciting night full of fun and laughter! Most of them were able to get introduced because they were the representing officers for our state this year. I had so much fun going and hanging out with all of my rainbow, jobie, and demolay family! This was a very exciting night and I am so excited to attend the next upcoming one!

Grand Court Order of Amaranth Installation
On February 15th, 2020, Grand Court Order of the Amaranth had their installation of officers. Manassas Assembly came to support Mom Sherry Whidden, who was installed as Grand Royal Matron and Dad Richard Whidden, who was installed as Grand Royal Patron. The girls in attendance were Dalanie, Gigi, and Vanessa. Mom Priscilla and Dad Tom were both installed Grand Officers. Mom Sherry requested that Rainbow do the pledge ribbon ceremony for her, so her gavel could be encircled with the colors of the rainbow. Gigi, Sara, Dalanie, Reagan and Lorkin preformed the ceremony. Since Mom Sherry is so close to the masonic youth orders, she had Noah, Mary and Gigi speak during her speech, to give a small description of what their orders do. Past Grand Worthy Advisor Katie Whidden escorted Mom Sherry and Dad Richard, along with her brothers, for the signing of the Bible. Overall, it was a beautiful installation, and we are all very proud of Mom Sherry and Dad Richard for their work in the Order of the Amaranth.
In Rainbow Love and Service,
Gigi – Manassas Assembly
