A Summary of Our Term

This term we have worked so hard and accomplished many, many things. We had an average of 25 people attend our meetings.  We celebrated ­­­­­­­6 honor nights where we recognized supporters of Rainbow.  We held 2 jean night fundraisers in which we raised $190 for the Scholarship Fund and our charities. We initiated 3 new members and have a new affiliated member.  We lost 1 member to majority and 3 that moved out of the area :(. 

We visited every assembly in Virginia at least once….whether it was a meeting, installation or Grand Visitation!  And we attended the Grand Assemblies of at least 5 other jurisdictions!  We visited the residents of MAHOVA  2 different times.

We attended the lodge sponsored super bowl party, St. Patty’s party and Easter party.  We prepared meals for both the lodge and Royal Arch chapter 8 times.  We attended the Amaranth, Eastern Star and DeMolay installations at our lodge. 

We had a large group attend Rainbow Sunday followed by a cookout and kick ball game. 

We held 2 adopt-a-spot events, a lodge clean up and made a meal for the local fire station.  We had many members support the Supreme 2018 star program by purchasing stars that will be displayed at Supreme Assembly.

We had 2 members and 3 adult supporters that received the Grand Cross of Color.

We wrote over 100 articles that were submitted to the state website, a goal I knew we could meet 😊.

We held 3 bake sales that made $315 for our charities.  We held a coin collection competition (which is still underway) but so far has brought in $275 for our charities.  Between the doughnut sale, mystery dinner and silent auction we made almost $2900.00!

We got the traveling gavel all 3 times! 

We have a Grand Flag Bearer, 7 Grand Representatives and 6 Grand Officers ~~ we will be busy again this year!

We had 22 people compete in ritual competitions and we brought home 19 awards! But the award that I am most proud of is ASSEMBLY OF THE YEAR!  I worked hard to achieve it by planning so many activities that would help us get the needed points, however it was achieved because we all worked together.  I am proud of our assembly’s accomplishments and you all should be too.   I cannot stress enough to our upcoming line officers – the path ahead of you will not always be an easy one.  It is not an easy task to lead and to be able to achieve all that we have.  It will take A LOT of your time but in the end you will find it to be worth it, as you will discover a lot of people are counting on you.  I challenge you to keep Manassas on top!  Thank you all for letting me serve as your Worthy Advisor!

RL&S,

The Grand service project Clean the Bay was a total success. We did have to walk awhile to get to the area we were cleaning but it was still fun because we acted like the trash bags were kites. While we were cleaning we found a lot of crabs but no turtles this time. After we were finished we all had a picnic near the bay and I was so happy to see everyone before we go to Grand Assembly. You had such an amazing year Olivia and all of Richmond is proud of you.

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. 

On Saturday, January 14th, Manassas Assembly held their Installation of Officers. Vanessa was installed at Worthy Advisor. We have so many girls in our Assembly that we even installed a Choir Director and a member in the choir! Vanessa’s theme is “Secret Garden” and her motto is “Soar To Your Own Rainbow.” Her colors are pink and blue. Her symbol is the butterfly and her flower is wild flowers. The mascot was a surprise. Special Olympics is her charity project. Vanessa shared many of her events and I’m excited to see what she brings this term!
