On March 3, 2016, Yorktown Order of Eastern Star had their Installation of Officers. Mom and Dad Elmore went in as Worthy Matron and Worthy Patron of the Chapter. We were so honored that we could support a group that supports us, especially with two of our very own parents. It was a beautiful ceremony and there was a reception afterwards.

Everyone there was very welcoming and continued to smile through out the night.

On March 5, 2016, Manassas Assembly hosted a Spaghetti Dinner. Dalanie, Sydney, Zoey, Vanessa, Katie, Sammi, Selena, Isabella, Kate, Olivia and I served guests and washed dishes. We were very pleased by the turn out, many adult leaders came to support us in our fundraising endeavours including the Worthy Matron and Royal Matron of our local OES Chapter and Amaranth Court, our Worshipful Master, Dad Chris, and our Supreme Deputy Mom Jenkins. Vegetarian sauce was provided by Dad Phil and the meat sauce was provided by local restaurant Mama Mia’s Pizza. Both sauces proved to be great hits among Lodge members and guests. The rest of the food was prepared by Mom Debbie who worked incredibly hard with all the girls to make sure everything was perfect, without her, we wouldn’t have gotten anything done. There were very few leftovers by the end of the night!

After people had finished their food and left, the girls had lots of fun joking around with each other while working to clean up, and of course, flinging water on each other while washing dishes.

All in all it was a great success and we look forward to upcoming events!

Norfolk Assembly LT and Hampton Assembly No 2 went to Portsmouth DeMolay’s Installation on February 20th.  Christopher was installed as the Master Councilor. Phoenix from Rainbow Norfolk Assembly was elected as Chapter Sweetheart. The program was very nice and the introductions and presentations were great. It was great to see so many visitors there to celebrate and support the group.

Following the program there was a nice reception in the main hall with lots of great food and desserts.  The Rainbow Girls, DeMolay, and Job’s Daughters were able to just hang out and share lots of laughs along with wonderful music. It was an amazing event.

On February 19, 2016, our Assembly was invited to attend Youth Night at Ocean View Lodge in Norfolk, VA. There were a group of Jobies, DeMolay, and Rainbow Girls in attendance. Norfolk Assembly and a few girls from Hampton spoke about the meaning of Rainbow.The Norfolk  DeMolay Chapter did the Flower Talk and the Jobies did another presentation using flowers to explain the meaning of each of the different Masonic Youth Organizations. Before the presentations, we mingled and had pizza and soda. I enjoyed this because I got to learn more about our joint Masonic organizations. There were also really pretty and detailed murals on the walls. I hope to go back again next year.
