Virginia Rainbow has been traveling with the Grand Lodge of Virginia’s District Leadership Conferences to provide information and support for Most Worshipful Jack Kayle Lewis’s emphasis on supporting and expanding Masonic Youth Groups in Virginia. Along the way, we have been joined by various Virginia Rainbow members, who have shared their own personal experiences and assistance to these efforts.

Richmond Assembly No. 10 held a donation-only bake sale during the Masters and Wardens Meeting for Masonic Districts 15A and 15B on Saturday, February 17, 2024 at Tuckahoe Lodge No. 347 in Richmond, VA. The Assembly raised over $400 in donations, which will go towards the Assembly’s term charity, the American Cancer Society, and the Assembly’s travel fund for the girls. Afterwards, any leftover baked good were donated to local organizations, and we are told that there were some very happy firefighters at one particular station in Powhatan!

The Eastern Region Virginia DeMolay hosted a Winterball on Friday, February 16th at Monitor Lodge No. 197 in historic Phoebus, Virginia, which is also the home of our own Hampton Assembly No. 2. Members and prospects from various Virginia Rainbow Assemblies, Virginia Job’s Daughters Bethels and Virginia DeMolay Chapters, along with supporting adult chaperones and lodge hosts were in attendance for an evening of food, fun, and dancing!

Meeting in Waynesboro, VA on December 9, 2023, and again on January 20, 2024, a dedicated group of over one dozen adults (not all in photo) filled out documents and made a verbal commitment towards the formation of an Advisory Board for a Rainbow Club in the Blue Ridge Mountains! The real work begins now, but expect to hear a lot out of this group and region as the Blue Ridge Rainbow Club grows and works toward becoming a chartered Assembly of Virginia IORG!
