On March 21, 2026, Norfolk Assembly #15 had our first ever breakfast with the Easter Bunny fundraising event, and it was so much fun! This event is similar to our yearly breakfast with Santa, where we had an Easter Bunny present to take pictures with all the kids! One of our DeMolay brothers stepped up and came to be our Easter Bunny. Norfolk Assembly was very thankful, and it helped with making this event such a success! So many people came out to support us, and I even brought a prospect! 

We had lots of breakfast food options to choose from. Some of the food we had there included pancakes, eggs, grits, and sausages. All of the food was amazing! Our outstanding Worthy Advisor, Alaina, brought lots of activities for the pledges that attended. She even had activities for our active Rainbow girls and our adults to participate in as well. We all had lots of fun, and I can’t wait for all of the other events Alaina has planned for the rest of her term!

On March 21st we all gathered at South Norfolk lodge to have our Rainbow University Watch Party. The people that were there from Norfolk Assembly #15 were myself, Ava C, Manuela H, Alaina N, and Macy R. In addition, we had our rainbow sister Gabby O from Hampton #2 attend with us. All us girls and adults sat together with the Watch Party starting at 1:00 pm and ending at 3:30 pm. We all loved listening to the astronaut talk about the 4 C’s and how she was a past Rainbow girl. We also liked listening to the other presenters and doing some little games and the surveys throughout the Watch Party.

We had a couple of snacks like popcorn, chips, and some chocolates and overall we had a good time all hanging out and learning more about Rainbow and leadership. At the very end at the conclusion of the Watch Party, we did some fun line dances to end the day.

On Sunday February 22nd, 2026 I attended and helped serve the Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser in honor of Dad Russell Bradshaw. The event started around 1pm in the afternoon and ended around 5:30 pm. The place was packed with all of Dad Russell’s family and close friends. Dad Russell was the Associate Bethel Guardian (ABG) of Bethel No. 42 of Virginia Beach, VA.

The fundraiser also included a live performance from a country band, a children’s table, and a silent auction that featured many different baskets in honor of Dad Russell. The fundraiser was successfully held at the Khedive Shriners Temple in Chesapeake, VA. I was more than happy to attend and helped serve alongside the Job’s Daughters of Bethel No. 42, as well as the DeMolays from Kempsville Chapter. It was a pleasure to be with everyone!
