On August 1st, 2015, Smithfield had their Installation of Officers. The Worthy Advisor elected was Lauren. Her mascot, the peacock, was presented to her by the Worthy Associate Advisor, Emily. Lauren named her mascot Pete. There was a dinner and a dance to follow. Two of the Richmond girls “stole” Lauren’s mascot with the help of the Grand Worthy Advisor, Rachel Cochrane. They schemed up a plan for Lauren to get Pete back; she had to let them smear a cupcake in her face to collect $5.00 from the visiting members for her charity. The dance lasted until 9:30 pm. Everyone went home after a night that was filled with laughter and smiles.

Hampton Assembly #2

On July 7th, Hampton Assembly #2 held “Bring a Friend” Night for our soon to be opened South Norfolk Assembly. The Masons invited the DeMolay, Job’s Daughters, and Rainbow Girls to have dinner and present a short program explaining what each of these organizations is about. Hampton Assembly did the Bow program sharing what each ray of light in the Rainbow means. We watched the DeMolay do the shield talk and Ceremony of Lights. The Job’s Daughters did a program about what their flag means.

In Rainbow Love,

Hampton/Smithfield Grand Visitation

This Grand Year our Grand Worthy Advisor, Brigitte, is inspiring us to learn about the lives of our Rainbow Sisters around the world. During our Grand Visitation to the Hampton and Smithfield Assemblies, they took us to the Philippines and Italy. What fun to see our Sisters dressed in historic Roman clothing and to hear them recite the words of ancient philosophers! Then they whisked us away to Southeast Asia to experience a traditional dance of the Philippines. They topped our experience with traditional foods including Alfredo, spaghetti, fried bananas and lumpia. Can’t wait to stamp our Rainbow passports with more international fun!

Congratulations to our own Mom Renn, who was elected Supreme Worthy Associate Advisor at the recent Supreme Session held in Baltimore, Maryland.

Past Grand Worthy Advisor, Lauren and Grand Faith, Kathy, made a presentation to the Supreme Family for Supreme Assembly to be held in Hampton, Virginia, in 2018 and they said YES!!! Needless to say, Virginia Rainbow will be very busy in the coming years.
