September 16, 2017 – DeMolay Installation – I arrived a little after 2pm for the Installation.  It was neat to watch and exciting since it was the first DeMolay Installation for the Prince William Chapter since it was re-opened.  The new Master Counselor, Charles Hite, welcomed everyone and made our own Vanessa the Sweetheart for the Chapter this term.  Awards were given out to the DeMolay members and after the ceremony we took pictures and we retired to the Dining Hall for refreshments.  Many Rainbow Girls were there from the Manassas Assembly: Gigi, Katie, Kate, Zoey W., Vanessa, Joella, Sami, M’Balu, Batu, and me.  We even had a Manassas Pledge, Ella, in the audience.  It was a fun afternoon.  After everything was over, many of us headed over to the Henry Lodge in Fairfax for the Grand Visitation practice.

On July 22nd 2017, sisters Sierra, Taylor, and Victoria attended the DeMolay Conclave dance held at Christopher Newport University. It was very fun to see so many of the Masonic Youth just dancing and enjoying themselves. There were a few slow songs and some of the Richmond girls even got asked to dance! JPGWA Rachal Murray and GWA Libby Whitehouse were there, as well as girls from a lot of our Assemblies. We got to see some of our old friends as well.  Over all it was a fun night! 

On July 22, our Worthy Advisor, Phoenix, her cousin Asia, Rainbow Sisters: Sarah and Lisa, our Mother Advisor, Christi Reed, my sister, Sarah, and I attended DeMolay’s Conclave.  There, I was able to see our DeMolay brothers, our Jobie and Rainbow Sisters, and our Grand Worthy Advisor, Libby Whitehouse.  The dance was so much fun to attend!   I had so much fun dancing with everyone there!  I also got to meet one of Florida’s past Grand Worthy Advisors, Mrs. Kristy Hajimihalis on our way there.  Overall, I was so happy to attend DeMolay’s Conclave because I was able to have a fun experience with my whole family. 

April 15, 2017 – Once we were done with the benches and chairs at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial we were hungry enough to go get something to eat.  It was also a little too early to go to the Lodge Easter party and we needed somewhere to go for a little while.  We joined with the Manassas DeMolay Chapter, who were already with us from the Alexandria service project, and went to Fuddruckers in Woodbridge, VA. It was fun since it was the first time I had the chance to do a fun event with the Manassas DeMolay Chapter. The girls there were:  Vanessa, Joella, Zoey, Batu, M’Balu, Ashley, Zoe, and me.  We were joined by DeMolay members Josh and Preston with their leader Dad Wyatt.
