The Prince William DeMolay Chapter’s Installation was on March 24.  A lot of people were there. One of the Rainbow Girl’s (Vanessa) brother was the one who got installed Master Councilor. My brothers were installing officers.  Noah did the Installing Officer part and Ryan was Junior Councilor.  They did a very good job at their parts. The gavel and ring Preston got were pretty.  Dad Costis made the gavel. It was cool that he made the gavel out of a block of wood.
Dad Stallings presented the Costis Family with an honorary DeMolay member certificate.  We know Matthew would have been a great DeMolay!

On March 24th, Manassas Assembly had a dinner fundraiser. The dinner was a Mystery Dinner. We pre- sold tickets and had about 80 people attend. We opened the doors at 5 and everyone started rushing in. Everyone was given a piece of paper to choose which food they would like to have for each of their four courses, but the twist was the guests were not given the real names of the food.  For example, peas and carrots were called bats and balls. The dinner was a lot of fun but also a lot of work but the work payed off and the dinner was a huge success.

On March 24th, 2018, Manassas Assembly #13 held its Mystery Dinner at the Lodge. The Girls in attendance were Sami, Katie, Dalanie, Isabella, Vanessa, Joella, Jazmyn, Maribel, Lillian, Gigi, Emma, Ella, Kassidy, and myself. I ended up arriving late because of technical difficulties, aka my brother refusing to get ready and get in the car. When everyone ordered, it made us chuckle a bit, seeing as we knew what they were ordering, and most likely it wasn’t too good a mix. I thought someone would get all the utensils and a napkin for a meal, but sadly, I don’t think that happened. After the third table had its last course, we brought all the food out, so people could know what they are going to eat, and they could also have utensils. Overall, the dinner was awesome, and I had lots of fun serving.

On March 24th, we arrived at the Lodge at 2pm.  The Installation started with Dad Joe Grist and Vanessa doing a flag tribute.  This term, Preston is the Master Councilor and he wants to raise money for the Masonic Scholarship Fund, fix up the baseball field, and create a horse shoe place in the land behind the Lodge parking lot. His colors for his term are orange and white.  There were many visiting DeMolay including several that traveled all the way from Pennsylvania.  The Costis Family was given an honorary membership for Matthew for DeMolay and it was really emotional.  The Rainbow Girls that were there included:  Katie, Kate, Dalanie, me, Vanessa, JoElla, Sami, Jazmyn, and Gigi.
