On April 14th, we visited the residents of the Masonic Home of Virginia – MAHOVA.  The ride down there was long but Eliza was in the car with me so I didn’t get bored.  I had written a letter to one of the Grandparents that we saw at our visit in January and I was able to meet her in person while we were there.  Betty wasn’t feeling well so I couldn’t talk to her very long, but it was nice to be able to meet her.  We also saw the MAHOVA King and Queen again.  We walked through the halls and at the cozy corner met up with the woman that we saw from our last visit and she is over 100 years old.  She escorted us to the dining room where we had lunch and talked to the residents while we were there.  Lunch was pretty good.  After our visit with the MAHOVA residents we headed over to the state Ritual Competitions at the Scottish Rite Temple in Richmond.

On Thursday, April 19th, Manassas Assembly had 5 Girls and 3 Advisors attend Fairfax Assembly’s meeting.  We were asked to help fill some stations so Katie served as WAA, Vanessa as Charity, Dalanie as Hope, Gigi as Faith and I filled in as Chaplain. Lorkin did a great job serving as WA for the meeting.  Paige, their Drill Leader, did a fine job with the introductions!

I am glad we were able to attend and help our Sister Assembly out!  We hope they can come visit us at one of our meetings soon.

We had a great turn out with over 20 people attending!   We enjoyed visiting with the residents and having lunch with them.  We saw several of the girls adopt grandparents.   It was a great day and we are looking forward to returning soon!

All the time Rainbow Girls get recognized for going above and beyond, but most times we never pause to recognize our hardworking and supportive Rainbow Dads other than Installations or Grand Assembly.

I would like to take a moment to thank some of our outstanding Rainbow Dads from Manassas Assembly. Dad Bill Costis has protemed as our Outer Observer since Manassas Assembly was Constituted, always reminding our Girls to smile as we walk in for the Opening. He has made it his mission to verify everyone has signed in at every meeting, and never hesitates to help any way he can. Meetings wouldn’t be the same without his humor, smiles, and unwavering support. Although on a busy schedule he always makes time to attend our events. This year he’s been the adult liaison for our Adopt-a-Spot events getting Girls the supplies needed and making sure we have the proper adult supervision.

Our Assembly wouldn’t be the same without him.
