Carnival

Posted in Blog on June 28th, 2014 by Webmaster

The Rainbow Carnival on the 24th of May was a success! We had games, food and vendors. Plinko was by far the most popular game. We also had cornhole, ring toss, can toss, and so much more! Every time kids won a game they got a token. Later they could take these tokens and exchange them for a fun prize! The girls had so much fun seeing the smiles on the kids faces after winning game. That was a reward in itself. A couple of girls from Richmond came down and had fun with us also. This carnival was a real success and I can’t wait for our next one!

Car Show

Posted in Blog on June 19th, 2014 by Webmaster

On June 7th the girls of Hampton #2 got together to help Monitor’s Master Joe Grist hold their car show. Masons were scattered around either as helpers, contestants or on-lookers. The rainbow girls helped serve a hearty breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, biscuits, gravy, and pan fried apples. After breakfast was served girls got to roam around and look at all the cars. One was even a reference to the taxi in the Halloween Town movies! Complete with a skeleton driver! When girls weren’t looking at cars, they were able to go the back parking lot and check out the small vendor fair complete with raffle. One of Hampton’s girls even won a Bag from 31! All in all it was a great day for Hampton girls to not only get closer to each other but also the Masons in the lodge that support them.

Down By the Water

Posted in Blog on June 19th, 2014 by Webmaster

On June 14th, few girls from Hampton Assembly and I volunteered to help with Monitor Lodge’s Child ID Program at a church’s event Down By the Water. Not only did we help with the Child ID when needed, we managed some of the game stations they had. They had a big bounce house and a dunk tank which you could volunteer anyone to get in. It was a fun and very hot day, but I enjoyed the sun, the games, and having a good time with my Rainbow sisters!

A Day in our Nation’s Capitol

Posted in Blog on March 18th, 2014 by Webmaster
     On Saturday, February 22, the Rainbow Girls of Virginia all gathered at the Arlington Cemetery to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It was a long drive from Hampton to Arlington, but it was definitely worth it. Our Grand Worthy Advisor, Katie,  had the opportunity to lay a red, white, and blue wreath at the Tomb. On the wreath was a ribbon that said “The Order of The Rainbow for Girls”.  It was really amazing to see the unique ways we are getting our name out their and the good we are doing while advertising our organization. While we were there, we also got to see the ceremony of the changing of the guards. It was also very interesting to see and was just an amazing experience overall.
     After the cemetery, we took the Metro to the Smithsonian. That was an adventure in itself; getting tickets, staying together, and getting off at the right stop was fun, but we all got there safe.
     When we got to the Museum of American History, we split into groups to do a scavenger hunt. We had to find information about the different topics that were in the museum. In the museum there was a section on how technology has evolved, one on each of the world wars, and more. It was great to learn about our Country and some of the people who protect it.
     By the end of the day, everyone was tired, happy, and ready to go home. It was an amazing opportunity to be able to see the things we did that weekend and get close as a State. We cannot wait for the next opportunity to do so!
In Rainbow Love & Service,
