The Royal Arch Dinner was on April 14th. The girls that were there were Katie, Sydney and myself. We served pork, beans, and coleslaw which were prepared by Mom Nancy. We also had dessert of brownies, cookies, and cake. The Royal Arch members really enjoyed the meal and we each got the chance to make money for our Rainbow banks!

On March 5, 2016, Manassas Assembly hosted a Spaghetti Dinner. Dalanie, Sydney, Zoey, Vanessa, Katie, Sammi, Selena, Isabella, Kate, Olivia and I served guests and washed dishes. We were very pleased by the turn out, many adult leaders came to support us in our fundraising endeavours including the Worthy Matron and Royal Matron of our local OES Chapter and Amaranth Court, our Worshipful Master, Dad Chris, and our Supreme Deputy Mom Jenkins. Vegetarian sauce was provided by Dad Phil and the meat sauce was provided by local restaurant Mama Mia’s Pizza. Both sauces proved to be great hits among Lodge members and guests. The rest of the food was prepared by Mom Debbie who worked incredibly hard with all the girls to make sure everything was perfect, without her, we wouldn’t have gotten anything done. There were very few leftovers by the end of the night!
After people had finished their food and left, the girls had lots of fun joking around with each other while working to clean up, and of course, flinging water on each other while washing dishes.
All in all it was a great success and we look forward to upcoming events!
With Rainbow Love & Service,

On Friday, December 11th, 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!
