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.

Much Rainbow Love,

Everyone loves seeing a movie, especially Hampton Assembly! On November 22, we went to see Mockingjay Part 2 at Cinema Cafe. We met early and played a few video games before the show. The food was great and the movie was very exciting. It is always nice to have the chance to see each other outside of the Lodge.

Much Rainbow Love,

In December, Richmond Assembly participated in Christmas on MacArthur. The parade was amazing. Once the parade started we got to see dogs for adoption, clowns, and listen to great music. At our Rainbow booth, we got to teach girls about Rainbow and tell the parents of younger kids about our Rainbow Pledges. We also gave out Rainbow bracelets and did personality quizzes that told girls what “color” their personality was. Most of the girls who took the test were “green” and me and Jessica were happy since we are “green” too. Green says:

“You’re responsible, fair, and goal-oriented. You make friends easily, are good at following directions, and can’t relax with homework hanging over your head. You work best in teams and love to win. But you can become too focused on your own goals and brush off your friends in a mean way when they don’t fit in with your plans. What can Rainbow offer you? Lots of friends! Lots of opportunities to compete for awards, individually and as a team. In Rainbow you will learn that we all have different strengths and weaknesses, and when each person does what they do best, you can overlook people’s faults, because the Assembly as a whole wins!”

Later on we got pizza and soda. So the parade and prospect booth were really great and we hope we can do it again next year!
