On August 31st, the Khedive Mini 18 Wheelers and Arab Patrol held a Masonic Family picnic that benefited Bethel 42’s Supreme Session fund. There was a silent auction, basket raffles, and a 50/50 raffle. They had hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, and cookies. There was also a cornhole tournament that Kaitlyn and Sarah competed in. Everyone had a great time!

Rainbow Retreat

Leela S., active member of Ashburn Assembly of Rainbow for Girls

In late October, Virginia Rainbow had its annual retreat at Camp Overlook in Keezletown. The retreat drew girls from across the state including several of us from the Ashburn Assembly. It was a fun weekend of sisterhood and friendship. There were also lots of great activities for the girls to enjoy. I most enjoyed the paint wars, which had the girls in teams. Each team had to dip the letters for our team name in paint and stamp it on our backs—it was messy but fun! Another activity that I think we all enjoyed was mason jar painting.  I also loved eating s’mores and hanging out around the fireplace and chatting with friends. One of the girls also hosted a haunted trailer tour that was very exciting.

There was also a Wizard of Oz themed baking competition. Each team had to bake and decorate a cake.  We also got to watch the movie Moana with our Rainbow sisters. The best part of the weekend was how kind everyone was to each other. It was a wonderful experience. I know I’m going back next time!

Christmas Luau – 12/18/2019

After partying every other day for the past week, I managed to get myself to the final event, the Manassas Christmas Luau.  The room was festively decorated.  Grass skirts and flower lays were everywhere.  There was plenty of food and Dad Bobby was making drinks to order.  Unfortunately, I was too tired to do the limbo dance.  It seemed like everyone had a good time and it was great seeing people from other assemblies there.  I didn’t stay for the 50/50 raffle so I gave my tickets to Joella and headed out to make it an early evening.
