Following the Installation earlier that day, my assembly did some more driving to the DeMolay Conclave Dance. We got a chance to sit and socialize, and to have fun dancing and seeing our friends. Some of the moms were having so much fun that we were the ones that had to drag them off the dance floor! We also made sure to sign in with Sarah R. since it was the first event of the “Countdown to Midnight” challenge for the Grand year.

I was so happy to start off the month of August by attending the installation service of Fredericksburg Assembly #12 with Anna going in as the new Worthy Advisor! Her theme for this term centered around the anime show, Hunter x Hunter. The Assembly room was covered in many beautiful butterflies and props from the show! I personally really enjoyed the installation because their was a truly heartwarming service for the crowning, the gavel ceremony, and finding the mascots. Anna’s charity for this term is the National Parks Conservation Association. She chose this charity because of how much nature means to her and she wants to give back as much as she can and as an Assembly to make sure that our parks are clean and cared for. This Assembly truly represents what it is like to be a family and have support for everyone keeping in mind that the little details go a long way. Overall, I was so excited to be able to attend the installation and learn a little bit more about what Hunter x Hunter is about and the many lessons that they share. I am so excited to see Anna lead these next six months with leadership and grow as an Assembly all together!

On July 24^th, 2021, Richmond Assembly held their Installation of Officers. Mom Jean and Mom Ange drove me, M’Balu, Batu, and Zoey. With 6 of us in the car, the drive was very fun and a bit hectic, as per usual. Samantha F was installed as Worthy Advisor. The assembly’s term theme is all about magic and fantasy. Samantha’s mascots are a griffon and opossum. My favorite moment was when the assembly presented a skit for Samantha to find her mascots and her gavel, which they called “the hammer of the worthy” to fit with the theme. Following the Installation refreshments were served, which included very cute woodland decorations and mushroom cupcakes.

On July 25, 2021, I was so happy to attend the installation of officers for Hampton Assembly #2 and seeing Reagan once again lead as Worthy Advisor for her Assembly! The installation service was beautiful and her new officers were so excited to be in their new positions! Her theme for this term is, Hamtown Flies the Coop with her saying being, “Birds of a feather flock together”. My personal favorite part of the installation was when the mascots were presented to Reagan and each of her officers. This time, every girl in the Assembly received their own little bird mascot that they got to name! What made this process entertaining was when Mom Sara put on a chicken head and was running around throwing the bags of mascots! I was even surprised with some of my very own mascots as well. For my Grand term, my mascots include dogs, mice, and birds. I already have my dog mascot as well as two mice mascots, but I never got my bird mascots. So, Hampton Assembly presented me with three new members to the family, two small birds a blue one that I names Blu and a red one that I named Ella; and then a duck toy that I named Joe who is now the new mascot of our State Rainbow Dad, Dad Joe. Another thing that I thought was very special for Reagan’s term, is how she let all the girls of the Assembly choose individual service projects that they will tackle throughout these next six months. I thought that this was a very special thing to have each girl choose their own special service project to give a different diversity that they select each moth for the service project. Overall, I had a wonderful time at the installation service of Hampton and they always leave me laughing and having a good time when I step through the doors!
