Retreat…Amazing & Fun!

Posted in Blog on August 14th, 2015 by Webmaster

On August 8th and 9th, Mom Jean, Abigale, Zoey, and myself went to the Rainbow Retreat. It was my first time. It was an AMAZING and FUN experience! We did archery, self defense, painting, and swimming but my favorite was when we did a poster contest and I wrote a poem to go with the poster. Everyone thought it was funny! The people there were so nice and friendly. I cannot wait to go again next year!

Rainbow Retreat was a really fun event.  Most of our Assembly came and two prospective members, who we’ll initiate in October, came too.  There were LOTS of other Rainbow Girls there, more than last year, and I loved hanging out with everyone.  The s’mores were really yummy.  Also, the activities we did were a lot of fun.  I really liked the archery and the self defense class, and I loved the flower activity we did for the kids at the Shriner’s Hospital.  I had a great time and can’t wait until next year!

My First Grand Assembly

Posted in Blog on August 6th, 2015 by Webmaster
This was my first Grand Assembly, but it definitely won’t be my last. It took place July 17-18 at the Doubletree in Williamsburg. There were a lot of people there from all over Virginia, Rainbow Girls and supporting Masonic organizations. We even had some visitors from South Carolina. I also got to see my friend from Springfield Assembly, which doesn’t happen very often. The sessions were very long, but the ceremonies were beautiful, especially the Book of Memories. The Fun Activities listed on the schedule really were fun. The talent show was great, and I had a lot of fun performing Rock Lobster with my friends. The dance was really fun. I knew a most of the songs, and I requested some of my favorites. The Grand Banquet was one of my favorite events. Even though I couldn’t participate in Competitions this year, it was still fun to hear the winners and cheer for people I know. I had a really good time at this Grand Assembly, and I hope to be able to go to the next one.

I am so very proud each and every day to be the Mother Advisor of Richmond Assembly #10. This weekend these girls made me even more proud. Our young girls Sierra and Victoria spent the weekend representing Richmond around the state. The girls along with myself and Mom McDaniel went to the Installation of Officers of Smithfield Assembly #5 on Saturday afternoon. The beautiful installation was followed by a dinner and dance. From there the girls went and had a rainbow sleepover to celebrate Victoria’s 12th birthday. Sunday, the girls once again represented Richmond at the Installation of Officers of Hampton Assembly #2. The girls devised plans to raise money for charity projects by mascot-napping. It was all in good fun though, and no mascots or Worthy Advisors were harmed- but money was definitely raised! Richmond may be a young assembly but the Rainbow Spirit is huge in these girls.
