Supreme Assembly

By Kassie

Supreme Assembly was good.  Chloe, Ashley and I all brought swaps and had fun meeting our Rainbow Sisters from all over the United States.  Chloe and I were lucky enough to have our room beside the rooms of the Massachusetts group.  We also had people from New Jersey at our hotel, and we got to talk to them at breakfast.  The Supreme song was Try Everything, from Zootopia.  On Tuesday we had a Taco Tuesday lunch theme, with tacos, quesadillas, and chocolate covered churros.  Chloe and I were lucky enough to get seats with Libbie and Rachel, and the PGWA of Colorado.  Also on Tuesday we had three girls from different jurisdictions initiated.  We also got to meet Vicky, a former Smithfield girl, who moved to Florida nine years ago.  The Cavalcade of Flags on Tuesday was awesome.  On Wednesday we saw the new Supreme Worthy Advisor installed and Mom J was installed as Supreme Love.  We also celebrated Zoey’s and Mom Gansler’s birthdays.

Virginia Grand Assembly

By Kassie

Our Grand Assembly was good and we had lots of fun there.  Some of us were in the Cavalcade of Flags.  I carried the New Hampshire flag, because I was the Grand Representative to New Hampshire.  Ashley and Anna carried the flags of Missouri and Vermont, because those were their Grand Representative states.  The Grand Worthy and Grand Worthy Associate Advisors from Maryland, Pennsylvania and South Carolina were there.  Gia, who is Libbie’s friend from California, was also there.  Libbie’s theme was the sailboat and shark.  During the morning session, they played How Far I’ll Go, sung by Moana.  During the afternoon session the song was That’s My Girl, by Fifth Harmony.  I was excited to see some majority girls from my assembly, especially Rachel, the past Grand Worthy Advisor.  Ilana and Andi received their majority cards.  At the banquet we received our awards and found out who won the raffle prizes.  When it was time to announce the Grand Representative and Grand Officer positions we found out we had three Grand Representatives, two Grand Officers, one Flag Bearer, and one Grand Page from our assembly.  After the banquet we had a dance and it was fun.  In the morning, the new Grand Officers were installed.  Kensley, the new GWA, had her home Assembly do the ribbon ceremony, and introduced her family and friends.

On Monday, October 17, 2016, Fredericksburg Majority Rainbow Girl, Kiran Ahmed, was initiated into the Fredericksburg Chapter of OES by Past Worthy Grand Patron, William Rennagel. Pictured here with our Supreme Worthy Advisor, Susan Rennagel; it is always a good day in Virginia Rainbow when one of our Majority Members choose to remain in the Masonic Community as a member of one of the sponsoring bodies. Congratulations to Kiran!
