On August 10, Sarah R. and I, along with Mom Christi and Mom Anne Marie, went up to Ashburn to witness to installation of Ashburn Assembly. The trip up was very long but we all had a blast! When we got up to the assembly we were greeted with so many friendly faces and everyone was so welcoming. Lizzie was going in as the new Worthy Advisor for their assembly. The theme that she choose was to love yourself with her mascot being a dog. The charity Lizzie choose was the Loudoun County Animal Shelter because of her love for animals. Following the installation, we had a taco bar that was very delicious! After the dinner there was a dance that followed but sadly we couldn’t stay because we had to head home. Overall, I loved the installation and I had such a fun time seeing everyone from up north and get to see a glimpse of what is in store for Lizzie and Ashburn Assembly!

On Sunday December 2nd, Mom Kim, Kensley, Lauren, Sara and Reagan went to Ashburn to help with their Initiation. On the way up everyone was listening to Christmas music and got in the holiday spirit. Once we got to the lodge that we had never been before, Ella showed us to the bathroom so we could change. We had to walk down very twisty stairs to reach the bottom of the lodge. They were very scary but fun at the same time. We were warned that we had to be within two steps of the person in front to successfully stay upright. Before the initiation the pledges had their meeting and it was adorable. Then initiation began. Everyone did an amazing job and we’re so happy to have a new sister, Riley. They had very good food down stairs and we got presents for helping out which we are so thankful for. On our way home we all clustered together to sleep but it didn’t last long before mom Kim turned Christmas music back up. Lauren was half asleep and really wanted goldfish so we made her dance to the music to earn them. I had so much fun with my Rainbow sisters and advisors and can’t wait to watch Riley grow with everyone else.

April 22, 2017 – Manassas Assembly #13 and Ashburn Assembly #11 hosted a meeting for the Grand Worthy Advisor based on her annual theme this year of Harry Potter.  

We started practice at 10am and went through Opening, Closing, the skit for the GWA, and our retiring march.  Practice went until about noon.  While we were practicing with moms Jean, Priscilla, Kelley, and Louisa others were getting all the wonderful decorations put up.  

I would like to give a special thanks to Mom Paula for doing so much of the decorating and give a special shout out to Mom Nancy for letting the Assemblies use so many of her Harry Potter decorations.  The Ashburn Assembly girls went to lunch at Subway while the Manassas Assembly girls ordered in pizza.

The meeting was fun and I enjoyed the skit that Gigi wrote.  Vanessa had many quotes and fun facts about Harry Potter that even Rachal didn’t know.  Once the meeting was over, we took pictures and had refreshments in the dining hall.  

We all helped clean up and then went home.  It was a fun eventful day.
