On Saturday, June 2nd, Lauren Kensley, Sara, Alex, Reagan, Bella and Eva went to the car show at The Newport News Scottish Rite. We all arrived at 6:30 a.m to help make breakfast. Sara, Alex,and I were cracking eggs and out of no where the lights just shut off because a transformer blew outside. We had to only use the gas oven because the other was electric. We managed to cook the rest of the meal with only part of the power that came through the generator and when we got a break, we ventured outside for a little bit to see the beautiful cars. For lunch we had pansit and hot dogs. Meanwhile we were still in the dark cooking and serving food. We began cleaning up and as we were leaving, the electricians came to fix it (of course when we were finished). Even though the lights were off we learned how to work with each other like a team!

Dalanie and I from Manassas Assembly went to the sleepover at St. Tammany Lodge. There were only two other Assemblies that went.  Hampton, which had two girls, Rachel and Olivia, and Fairfax had Zoe, Lorkin, Paige and Kaylie. It was really hot in the Lodge, so we had big fans running to bring down the heat and humidity for the night and the next day. 

During the sleepover, Dalanie, Zoe and I all shared one little air mattress (we also giggled and laughed to make it work somehow) it was very cramped, but we managed! In the morning, everyone slowly got up and got ready. We even stopped at Wawa for some early morning snacks.

On Friday, June 1st, Rainbow had a small bake sale at a Lodge dinner. There were rice crispy treats, cookies, bread and a couple of pies. Unfortunately, I had to leave early, but before I left, Jasmyn sold our first bag of Rice Krispy treats. Luckily, Gigi was there to help fill in for me, from what I heard it was a fun evening.

Rainbow gives you many opportunities to make long lasting memories, as well as long-lasting friends. Out of the many memories I can recall, I’d have to say my first time being apart of an Initiation has to be my favorite. It was a couple weeks after my own Initiation and I had learned the part of Nature. I was so nervous and all I remember was quickly rambling through the whole lecture. After I was done, I was so proud of myself and it made me want to learn to do more. Every time I learn a lecture, I remember my first and it makes me feel good about how far I’ve come!
