On April 25, 2026, the Masonic youth had their semi-annual MCHQWA Ball at Khedive Shrine Center. It started at 7 pm and went to 10 pm. There was a lot of dancing and mingling between all the youth groups. The DJ booth played a lot of classic 2000s-2010s songs along with a lot of line dances that everyone enjoyed. Numbers wise, we had a great turnout from all organizations. The girls that were in attendance from Norfolk Assembly included Becca, Alaina, Sam, Alex, and me. We also had one of our sparkle girls join the dance as well, she looked just like Cinderella! 

Alaina, Becca, and I all got to escort/be escorted during introductions. Becca was introduced as Grand Hope while Alaina was introduced as the Worthy Advisor of Norfolk Assembly. I had the pleasure of introducing Grace, one of our Worthy Advisors from Ashburn Assembly, Jr, the Eastern Region Deputy for DeMolay, and my brother, Riley who is State Marshall for DeMolay.

I am really happy that I was able to attend this event! I love being able to go to dances and see my friends from other Assemblies, Bethals, or Chapters. The best part of the whole night was dancing with Kaitlyn and Gracie, we sang our hearts out to most of the songs! I can’t wait for the Fall 2026 MCHQWA Ball!

I attended the DeMolay Sweetheart Ball.  It was fun.   My friends looked pretty in their dresses.  We danced a lot even when I was tired.   My friends and I talked a lot and took a lot of pictures.  I ate a lot of junk food and fruit snacks. We danced until almost 11p.m and I also met a lot of people.  I really liked dancing with the little ones, they were so cute.  It was cute seeing the hearts hanging from the ceiling.  I really liked attending the Sweetheart dance.

On November 20^th, 2021, we had the MCHQWA ball from 7:30 – 11:30pm at Kena Shrine Center.  We had so much fun! We danced to line dance songs such as “Cotton Eye Joe”, “Cha-cha slide”, and more! Jobies, DeMolay, and Rainbow all got to interact with each other and reunite with friends. It was amazing and really fun to be able to see some people I hadn’t seen in a while! I can’t wait until next year’s MCHQWA ball, really looking forward to it.
