In January, Hampton Assembly attended the Installation of Officers at Norfolk Assembly. Relena was installed as Worthy Advisor and her theme is Star Wars. Her mascot is Chewbacca. Relena asked Meagan, Rachal, Brigitte and me to be Installing Officers since we had done their first Installation. I was honored and surprised when she asked me to crown her.

It was very special for Hampton Assembly to go and support these girls because many of them started at Hampton. All of them have done an impressive job growing their Assembly. I was the Worthy Advisor when Relena was initiated. Growing up with our Rainbow Sisters and cheering each other on is one of my favorite parts of being in Rainbow.

On January 30, 2016, Norfolk Rainbow Girls and the Norfolk DeMolay put together the Norfolk Winter Ball. This was held at the Granby Lodge in Virginia. For admission people either paid $3 or brought three canned food items to help their charity. I thought this was a great idea to have people come to the dance and bring in items to help the Worthy Advisor’s term. They had a great turn out of people ranging from babies and toddlers to adults. It was a great mixture of Rainbow, DeMolay, and Jobs Daughters. Some of Hampton Rainbow and Tidewater DeMolay helped DJ a great selection of music. There was fun dancing, good vibes, and of course, a conga line!!!

On Friday, December 11^th, 2015 the Smithfield Assembly #5 Rainbow Girls participated in Smithfield’s Christmas Evening Farmers Market! All the girls made a type of pastry or another homemade item to sell, such as cupcakes, cookies and even arm-knit scarves. We made over $200 and all the proceeds are going to our current Worthy Advisor’s charity, FACT Camp for Autism. The market was open from 5-9pm and within those 4 hours we met other Rainbow Girls from out of state, some former Smithfield Rainbow Girls, and a Past Grand Worthy Advisor of Virginia! We also passed out flyers and explained to people what Rainbow is about, along with the other Masonic organizations, and how you could join. Every minute was exciting that evening and I was so glad to be able to do it!

On November 28, I traveled to Williamsburg with some fellow Rainbow Girls from Norfolk to the Jobs Daughters Pageant. It was my first time going. It was very interesting. There were a lot of people there. I even ran into my old friend Allie from Richmond! The tension was very high when they began to announce the winners. Our very own Misha Capuno from Springfield won! After the Pageant they had a dance and snacks.
