On February 21, 2026, at Kempsville Masonic Lodge. Kempsville Chapter hosted their annual Spaghetti dinner fundraiser from 3pm-7pm. Every year, they serve spaghetti with your choice of meat sauce or non-meat sauce, salad, and pie. We had a lot of rainbows and Jobies there to support our brothers. Kempsville DeMolay did an amazing job with this event. They had 3 boys making plates, a couple serving people, 2 working the pie station, and 2 floating around collecting trash and making drinks. The theme for this year was Space, and their motto was, “Our spaghetti is out of this world.”

I am so happy I was able to get to this event. I was able to arrive early with my brother, who is a member of the chapter, and help the DeMolay boys set up everything. I loved being able to talk to my friends while we ate and talked to everyone before the event started. Great job, Kempsville Chapter, the spaghetti was indeed out of this world!

On February 21st, Assembly 15 from Norfolk attended Kempsville DeMolay’s Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser. The boys were serving tables as fellowship was being held around the room. They served salad, spaghetti with a choice of meat sauce or regular sauce, and dessert. All of the food was delicious and wonderfully prepared by the members. The DeMolay members did a great job in making sure all visitors got their food in a timely manner. 

Norfolk Assembly was able to hangout with some Jobie sisters at the same time and the laughter they shared was amazing. It was amazing to see all our Masonic family come out and support our local DeMolay chapter. It is always great to see a wonderful turnout from all members of our family. The connection between the three Masonic youth organizations in this area is great and we share a bond that is hard to break.

On February 14, 2026, at Wyndham Virginia Beach Oceanfront, the Grand Court of the Amaranth held their Installation of Officers. Mom Ange Malmquist went in as Grand Royal Matron and Dad Clancy Nidell went in as Grand Royal Patron. The theme for the term is “Come Together.” After the crowning of Mom Ange the Rainbow girls got the honor to hand her flowers and watch her go to her station.

For my first time going to an Amaranth Installation, I was glad I was able to attend. I was so happy I got to watch everyone go into their stations for the term. I loved the songs they played while people were walking to their respective spots. I’m so glad I got to go to this event and I can’t wait to see what Mom Ange and Dad Clancy accomplish during their term.

On February 14, 2026, at Monitor Lodge, Hampton Assembly #2 hosted its installation of Officers. The theme for this term is “Tangled” with Sydney A. going in as Hampton’s Worthy Advisor. The decorations were absolutely gorgeous, with many of them being homemade! The installing team and the officers did an amazing job! The turn out was great too, especially with all the snow we have been having lately. 

During the reception, they had Chick-fil-A, fruit, cupcakes, and cookies to serve. I’m so happy I was able to attend this event. Even though the snow made it an obstacle, that did not stop the girls from doing an amazing job and making the installation a success! I’m so glad I got to see my friends and support my Rainbow sisters.
