On March 19^th I attended Maryland’s Grand Assembly for 2022.

Earlier that day I rode up to Maryland with some of my favorite people such as Mom Erin, Kaitlyn, and Mom Christi. When we got to Maryland, we changed right away and went to the first session. In the first session on Saturday, they did baby dedication, memorial service, and speeches. Some people who did the speeches from VA were Kaitlyn, Mom J, And Jasmine. Once the session was over, we changed and went to California Pizza Kitchen. At California Pizza Kitchen, I got a very yummy pizza. After we ate, we went shopping to places like Dick’s and Marshall’s. After we shopped, we went back to the room to change so we could go to the banquet. At the banquet we had food at a buffet, and the Maryland girls did a skit for the incoming GWA. After the banquet we headed to the installation. A lot of amazing girls got installed. After the installation we went back to the room, changed, and went home. It was very fun to visit a different jurisdiction.

During the weekend of Grand Assembly, I roomed with my rainbow sisters, Charlye and Mary. I had such a fun time rooming with them and really enjoyed when we listened to Harry Styles sleep podcasts. They were really relaxing and helped me fall asleep. Mary even knew it word for word which was pretty impressive! I enjoyed the podcasts so much and enjoyed spending time with my roommates even more!

While I didn’t have enough time to go to Richmond’s Installation this weekend, I was able to turn on Zoom and watch the afternoon session for Canada’s Grand Assembly.  This was a game session where everyone played a scavenger hunt paying homage to the missed Rainbow travel over nearly a year and a half since the pandemic started.  We went in search of things around our house that we would either take on travels like a passport or driver’s license to things we would get on a trip like our favorite souvenir.  This made me want to go visit Canada Rainbow when things open up and we can cross the border without restrictions.

You would think that watching a Grand Assembly over Zoom would get to be boring, but I assure you the Saturday afternoon session was certainly entertaining.  Pennsylvania Rainbow put on a talent show for everyone to watch and I was so impressed!  One girl sang and she turned out to be better than the soloist for the main session!  The comments requested that she be next year’s soloist.  They had multiple dancers as well and I spent so many years dancing that I was pretty good at judging the talent.  There are so many talented Rainbow sisters in Pennsylvania that I will need to visit in person some day just so some of it rubs off onto me!  I must thank Pennsylvania Rainbow for allowing me to witness all the fun they have at Grand Assembly.
