Hampton Assembly attended the Kempsville Chapter DeMolay Installation on a recent Saturday night. Jared was elected Master Councilor. All the boys did a wonderful job and they had so many visitors they had to add chairs on the sidelines and in the West. Dad Williams did the Flower Talk and we were all impressed with his ritual work.

Afterwards there was a dance and lots of people stayed and hung out until late.

Much Rainbow Love,

Rachal and I travelled on a rainy Sunday to Roanoke to attend their Installation. It is always fun to go there and see the guys. They don’t get many visitors because they are so far away and they don’t have Rainbow Girls nearby. Tidewater and Kempsville Demolay also went. They were happy to see us. Keith Yancey was their new Master Councilor. The Installation was very nice. At the reception we had sandwiches and chips while we sat and visited with everyone. It was nice to catch up wth them since we don’t see them often.

On the way home, we did some sight seeing and took lots of pictures. It is a long drive but we love getting to spend time together.

Much Rainbow Love,
Olivia

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from inside the Grand Lodge of Ireland!

On March 16, 2016, Rachel and her twin, Micaela, met with the Grand Secretary of Ireland and toured the Grand Lodge of Ireland in Dublin. They carried gifts from the Grand Master of Virginia and from Lodge No. 4, the sponsoring Lodge of her home Assembly, Fredericksburg No. 12.

On January 30, Rachal and I had a particularly busy weekend.

First, in the morning we were up early and attended the Richmond Installation. They did an awesome job and collected lots of jeans for their charity “Jeans for Teens “. We had some food and cake and then we were on our way to Fredericksburg. Rachal was their Installing Marshall. They raised a lot of money for their charity during the silver collection. While there, we ran into many other Rainbow Girls and friends who were also traveling that day.

After a quick bite to eat, we jumped in the car to head back to Norfolk. Later that evening we were helping DJ the Winter Ball. Norfolk Assembly and Norfolk Chapter had an amazing turnout at the dance. Rachal and I had so much fun helping with the music and we were happy their dance was a success. (Read more about that here.)

It was a long day but one we will always remember. There is no better way to spend a Saturday than traveling around the State visiting with all your friends.

Much Rainbow Love,
Olivia
