On Saturday, January 4th at South Norfolk Masonic Lodge in Chesapeake, the ladies of Norfolk Assembly No. 15 held their Installation of Officers for the ensuing term, surrounded by a packed house of family, friends, and numerous members and leaders of our Masonic sponsoring and appendant bodies. Norfolk Assembly No. 15 is defying gravity as it has seen the highest percentage of growth of any IORG Assembly in Virginia during 2024, an outstanding 60% increase in regular membership, and the establishment of a strong and growing pledge program that represents the future of the Assembly! This term, the ladies will be supporting the Amaranth Diabetes Association (https://diabetes.org/research/amaranth-diabetes-foundation),. Under the leadership of Worthy Advisor Becca, we know the Assembly is going to fly this upcoming term!

On Saturday, November 16, 2024 at the Newport News Scottish Rite Temple, the Grand Worthy Advisor Elise and her team of Leading Ladies (and Adults) provided an outstanding meal and show, raising funds for the Virginia Rainbow for Girls Foundation, Inc. Fun was had by all in attendance.

Grand Worthy Advisor Elise shared remarks Saturday, November 9, 2024 to the Grand Lodge of Virginia entitled “Take it from an old man,” (based on a song from the musical, Waitress) to thank the Grand Lodge for their wisdom, kindness, and generous support of Virginia International Order of the Rainbow For Girls. “When you think you can’t, you can…take it from an old man.” We enjoyed remarks from OES, Amaranth, Job’s Daughters, and DeMolay as well! The weekend was well attended by many of our Rainbow girls and supportive family and adults. #proudmemberofthevirginiamasonicfamily

October 25-27, 2024 in Keezletown, Va. The Leading Ladies of Virginia Rainbow lit the way through a magical weekend in the Shenandoah Valley.
