On October 15, 2017, we met at The Corn Maze in The Plains.  We invited pledges, prospects, friends, and family to join us.  It was fun getting through the Maze and going on the hay ride with everyone.  Since our group was so large the girls had to get on the hay ride by themselves and they still didn’t get everyone on it! The food was good and the bees liked it too!  M’Balu lost her hot dog trying to chase the bees away.  The girls from Manassas Assembly who were there included:  Gigi, Katie, Kate, Delanie, Zoey W., Vanessa, Zoe N., Joella, Maribel, Sami, M’Balu, Batu, Akshita, Abigail, and me.  There were pledges there as well:  Ella, Cassidy, and another whose name I don’t know.  We had three prospects:  Grace, Denise and the girl that Zoey and Delanie brought who will be joining next month.  The adults who were there were:  Dad Clancy, Mom Darcy, Mom Priscilla, Dad Tom, Mom Paula, Dad Wyatt, Mom Joanne, Mom Jean, Mom Robin, Mom Ange, Mom Sasi, Mom Louisa, Mom Janette, and Mom Vanessa.  There were several DeMolay members there from various chapters.  We even met up with Ashburn Assembly and their pledges.  Ashburn Assembly brought a Mom and fellow Rainbow Girl who were in the area visiting family and they are from Savannah, Georgia.  It was a fun day all around!

On Sunday October 15th, Manassas Assembly, Ashburn Assembly, Herndon DeMolay, and Prince William DeMolay, met up at the pumpkin patch in the plains. There was hay ride in which we all rode on and since our group was so big we split into two cars, the adults and boys in one car and the girls in another (the girls’ car was better than the boys). Besides the hayride there was a corn maze, obstacle course, a line maze, slides, mini-hay maze, pumpkin shooting, barrel roll, bean bag toss, and a small animal farm. There were pigs, goats, and chickens. We all had a fun time and we met new and old friends.

On September 23, 2017, after the Fairfax and Manassas Grand Visitation, we went to the MCHQWA Ball.  I got there a little before 8:30 pm and there were so many people there!  There were people from all the Masonic affiliated organizations in the area.  There were many DeMolay, Jobs Daughters, and Rainbow Girls.  The Manassas Rainbow Girls who were there included:  Gigi, Katie, Delanie, Zoey W., Vanessa, Zoe N., Joella, Sami, Mackenzie, M’Balu, Batu, and me.  Even Ella P., one of our pledges, was there.  The dance was fun and I had a really great time, but I needed to leave shortly after all the escorts were done at about 10pm so I could go home and rest so I could get all my homework done and study for a test the next day.  It’s really great when all the Masonic organizations get together for a fun evening!

September 23, 2017 – Manassas Assembly #13 and Fairfax Assembly #3 hosted a meeting for the Grand Worthy Advisor based on her annual theme this year of Sail into Rainbow.  We had practice at Henry Lodge on September 16th so we didn’t need to get to the Lodge until 3pm. Fairfax Assembly did a wonderful job with the Decorations and there was a beautiful cake!  There were so many Grand Officers, Grand Representatives and others visiting that it made the meeting really special.  There was a re-dedication ceremony where all present and past Rainbow Girls re-took their vows.  After that, Mom J made presentations for some parents who have given their time and efforts to Rainbow.  Then we had a game of jeopardy with Mom J against Olivia; the categories were Rainbow and Sharks to go with the GWA’s mascot.  Once the meeting was over we had refreshments downstairs in the dining hall.  We all helped with clean up and then some went home while others went to the MCHQWA Ball.  It was a long, fun eventful day.
