On August 5, 2017, there was a sleepover at Norfolk’s Lodge. It was fun and playful. We setup blankets and pillows upstairs in their assembly room. The girls from our Assembly were, Dalanie, Zoey W, Katie, Sami, Gigi, Zoe N, and myself. The moms present were, Mom Robin and my mom, Mom Ange. Most of the girls were in a corner of the room and were playing games. Rachel, our Past Grand Worthy Advisor, got us some McDonalds, and I snarled down two burgers…. I was really hungry! We went out to a park nearby and played tag. There was a man dressed as a panda. Everyone got a kick out of that. After that, we went home and resumed our games. I named a salt packet Peppar (Swedish for pepper). My mom came around 10:00 PM with snacks and Capri Suns. She also got some apple juice, which Dalanie, Zoey W., and I gulped down (mostly Dalanie and I). Oh! And I also got pictures of everyone sleeping except Dalanie, My mom, Zoe, and me. Overall, I had an amazing time, and I wish I could go again!

On July 22nd 2017, sisters Sierra, Taylor, and Victoria attended the DeMolay Conclave dance held at Christopher Newport University. It was very fun to see so many of the Masonic Youth just dancing and enjoying themselves. There were a few slow songs and some of the Richmond girls even got asked to dance! JPGWA Rachal Murray and GWA Libby Whitehouse were there, as well as girls from a lot of our Assemblies. We got to see some of our old friends as well.  Over all it was a fun night! 

Richmond Assembly had to forgo their meeting on July 25th because of work being done at the Temple so instead we were able to go to Laser Quest and try out the Escape Rooms.

The escape room was so much fun. We had two rooms, one that the younger girls and pledges did, and one for the older girls. In the older girls’ room we had to open a chest that contained more locked boxes and inside the little boxes we had to find the key to get out. We finally solved the puzzle but it was one minute after the time was up. The younger girls won their escape room so we took funny pictures. We still received laser tag coupons and were able to play 2 games of laser tag as a group. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to doing it again!

I had a very exciting experience during my first Grand Assembly. Not just to see and meet friends, but because of all the fun we shared as well. It was such an honour to serve as a Grand Flag Bearer, especially considering the fact that I had only joined a few months before. It was an even greater honor to become appointed as the Grand Page to Supreme Inspector Mom Jenkins during Grand Banquet. My favourite part was definitely the dance on the last night. This was a wonderful first experience, and I can’t wait to have an even better Grand Assembly next year!
