On Saturday morning, June 23^rd, Emma, my mom and I headed to the opening session of Tennessee Grand Assembly.   Before the opening session, I competed in the Tennessee ritual competition. They have a competition just for out of state guests. Then we had opening and introductions, it was great to come back and see all of the Tennessee Rainbow Girls I have met from past visits and meet new ones.  Sierra, the Grand Worthy Advisor did a beautiful job opening Tennessee 88th “Our Adventure Awaits” Grand Assembly.   Later that night was introductions and all dignitaries were introduced and following that I gave my speech about Virginia Rainbow.  Unfortunately we had to leave the next morning due to a doctor’s appointment but I am extremely excited to visit next year.

South Carolina Grand Assembly began on Thursday, June 21^st. Sami is the Grand Representative to South Carolina. Vanessa, Emma, Sami, Eliza, Allison, Mom Robin, Mom Paula, and myself attended. Mom Renn and Mom Donna Kluefer were also there. When we arrived, we attended the special dinner with the Grand Officers and Grand Reps of South Carolina. We then went into the opening session. I saw my counterpart, Bethany from when I was a Grand Rep to South Carolina. On Friday, Sam gave her speech. I met a new Rainbow girl, Tabitha. They announced their new Grand WAA on Friday and it turned out it was Tabitha. We were so excited for her! We hung out with her for most of our time at Grand Assembly. Several of us got to be judges for the competitions. It was so cool to see the Southern Belle competition again! South Carolina was so fun! I loved seeing friends from our first visit two years ago and I loved making new ones! I was sad to leave but at least I will see some of them soon at our Grand Assembly and Supreme Assembly!

We finally did it!!! Manassas Assembly finally took Assembly of the Year!! We worked so hard this past year to earn this. I’m so glad I was able to help my assembly through this and earn as many points we possibly could! I had one goal for my term as Worthy Advisor and I accomplished it!! I could not have done it without my assembly and our adults for driving us all over the world!! 

Thank you to everyone!

Grand Assembly  – By Ella

At Grand Assembly, a lot of the girls were there.  I liked a lot about Grand Assembly.  I can not name them all but here are some:

• I liked the dance because it made people laugh. The older girls danced with me and made me feel special.
• I liked the banquet because people were excited. I was so happy to hear that Manassas Assembly got Assembly of the Year.  They worked so hard for it!  We also won the travel award and many ritual competitions.  In fact, I even won 1^st place in the Pledge Competition.

I am looking forward to having fun with Kensley this year.  I am also looking forward to being a Rainbow Girl.  I just turned 8 so only 3 more years left!
