5/29/20- My first time back to going to stores and restaurants- I went to Chick-fil-a to eat lunch there for the first time since March but, I ate in the car. The drive-thru employees took the customers orders outside in the drive-thru with their masks. Then, after lunch we went to Target to get groceries and movies. I got pop its for 4^th of July since they won’t be doing fireworks in public this year due Covid-19 concerns.

Grand Assembly 2018

On July 29th, 2018, Fairfax Assembly left for Grand Assembly. Those in attendance were Lorkin, Kayley, Paige, Mom Sherry, Mom Leslie, Katie, and myself. I had a lot of fun sharing a room with my Assembly sisters, and seeing all of my friends from other assemblies. We had Grand Choir practice, Grand Flag practice, Grand Representatives’ practice, and Lorkin and I even carried flags in the Cavalcade of Flags. The first session was really special, as I had the opportunity to give a tribute to the American Flag, and carry it.

That night, we had the Grand Representatives’ costume parade! It was so fun, and there were some amazing costumes.

On Saturday, we attended the Initiation, and Lorkin and I went to the Grand Representative and Grand Officer luncheon. It was so much fun, and we spent a lot of time laughing. After that, we performed the Cavalcade of Flags, and Mom Renn even jumped in! Once the Session was over, we went to the Grand Banquet. Lorkin got 2nd Place in the Costume Parade, our Assembly won 3rd in the Scrapbook Competition, and we now have 2 Flag Bearers, and 2 Grand Representatives.

On Sunday, we got up early for the Installation, and Lorkin and I were installed as Grand Representatives. I am so excited for this Grand Year, and I know it will be so much fun!

Until next year,

Zoë, Fairfax Assembly #3

Fairfax Installation July 19, 2018

Fairfax Assembly #3 held its installation of officers on July 19, 2018 at 7:30 pm at Henry Lodge.  It was really nice because one year earlier only one officer was installed and this time there were five.  The ceremony was quick and they handed out several awards.  Kensley, the new GWA, was there and they presented her with gifts.  Mom J spoke about Supreme Assembly coming soon.  Manassas Assembly #13 had a lot of its members there including:  Katie, Dalanie, me, Vanessa, Sami, Akshita, Joella, Allison, Eliza, and Gigi.  Fairfax Assembly is growing fast and I can’t wait to see how many members there are next year!

On July 19th, we held a small installation with Zoe being installed in our highest office as Worthy Associate Advisor. I was so happy to be able to have five girls be installed this term! We decided to have the theme be this year’s Grand Worthy Advisor theme by carrying in small blue letters with little turtles on them made by Zoe. Kayley and I each gave GWA Kensley hand painted plates with her symbols on them to congratulate her on her ensuing term as Grand Worthy Advisor. Isabella, one of our members from Florida, was able to be installed with us as well. Afterwards, there were small refreshments and lots of pie. I’m hopeful we will all enjoy our new offices!

In Rainbow Love and Service,
