The Tidewater Installation for the DeMolay on March 5, 2016 was fun. Three of us from Norfolk Assembly LT were in attendance. Gabe was installed as Master Counselor and Abbey from Smithfield Assembly became Chapter Sweetheart. After the Installation there was a dance. They played songs like “Cupid Shuffle”, “Biker Shuffle”, and “Cotton-Eyed Joe”. Everyone danced to these and looked like they were having fun. At the very end of the night the DJ played “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri. I enjoyed this Installation and Dance a lot and I hope I can go to more.

Hampton Assembly attended the Kempsville Chapter DeMolay Installation on a recent Saturday night. Jared was elected Master Councilor. All the boys did a wonderful job and they had so many visitors they had to add chairs on the sidelines and in the West. Dad Williams did the Flower Talk and we were all impressed with his ritual work.

Afterwards there was a dance and lots of people stayed and hung out until late.

Much Rainbow Love,
Olivia

On Tuesday March 1, 2016, the Norfolk Rainbow Girls attended the South Norfolk Masonic Lodge dinner. Dad John Wallace Springer (Dad Chum) made a delicious chicken stew and cornbread and we had ice cream and brownies for dessert. Before we had dessert, there was a flag ceremony. It was presented by Portsmouth Commandery No 5.

We go to our Lodge every month to support our Masonic District and enjoy the food that they make and the fellowship that comes with eating with our sponsoring body. Join us on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm.
