Virginia’s 19^th Grand Assembly

June 23^rd-25^th

About two weeks ago, we had our 19^th Grand Assembly in Virginia! We had our traditional opening session with the Cavalcade of Flags, a ritualistic opening, and the announcement of the Rose Lecture competition winner, who was Kathy. After opening session, Nicole planned a talent show with many different acts such as dancing, singing, and musical instruments. On day two, there was a Devotional and Memorial service before morning session. During morning session, we had our inititation and rose lecture, along with remarks and announcements. Lunch came after morning session, and then afternoon session! In the afternoon session, Cavalcade performed again, there were more remarks and announcements, our Grand Worthy Advisor for the 2012-2013 term was announced, and then lastly a ritualistic closing. That evening was the Grand Banquet. Competition winners were announced, along with the Grand Officers and Grand Representatives for the upcoming year. After the banquet, we all went to the pool for a pool party with our rainbow sisters. On Monday, our last day at Grand Assembly, the Grand Officers and Grand Representatives were installed, and then it was time to head home. We had a great weekend with our rainbow family, and can’t wait until next year!

Melanie, Brigitte and I went to the beach on Monday, July 2^nd, while on the way to the beach we were saying how it could be a “Rainbow Event” if only we had an adult, so while laughing at that, we ironically ended up parking in front of the Virginia Beach Masonic Lodge, and to embrace our Rainbow and masonic pride, we took a couple of pictures in front of the lodge, here is Brigitte posing J

On the first Saturday in June, the Fredericksburg Rainbow girls served breakfast to the Masons at our local Lodge #4. A Mason cooked the pancakes and the Rainbow girls took orders and served the pancakes to the Masons. We asked for a donation of 5 dollars per person, and they got as much as they could eat with pancakes, sausage, fruit, and beverages. Once we were done serving and cleaning up, Dad Graff took some girls down the street to the antique car show, Ilana and Campbell REALLY enjoyed that as they are very into cars! They especially loved the gas smell, which I was not a fan of. Christine and the twins Rachel and Micaela went down the street to the Irish Brigade store, Christine was really interested because she is part Irish and wants to visit Ireland one day. The girls had fun serving their first pancake breakfast, and we will definitely be participating in this project again!
