Grand Assembly was beyond great for Richmond! We got our new initiate, Emma, who was very happy to get initiated as a Rainbow Girl at Grand Assembly. We are very lucky to have her in our Assembly because we know she is going to be an amazing Rainbow Girl. Our Mother Advisor Shanon Jackson and our past Worthy Advisor Jessica both received the Grand Cross of Color and we are very proud of them. The Assembly also enjoyed the dance we had, it was great to meet new girls from different Assemblies. We celebrated the following Grand Appointments from our Assembly for 2017-2018:

Jessica: Grand Representative to Alabama and Maryland
Brianna: Grand Representative to Brazil and Georgia
Victoria (me!): Grand Representative to California and North Carolina
Sierra: Grand Representative to New York and Oregon
Taylor: Grand Flag Tribute to the Rainbow Flag
Lina: Grand Page to the Supreme Inspector

We also won third place in the Rodeo competition, Sierra won first place for the written Ritual test for her age group, and Kathy, who recently received her Majority, won third place in her age group.

Our Assembly is looking forward to Olivia’s “Sail Into Rainbow” Grand term this year and we know she is going to make an amazing Grand Worthy Advisor.

On Ausgust 14, 2016, Norfolk Assembly #15 initiated Abigail. Everyone did an amazing job with memorizing their parts. We received two petitions for Initiation. Olivia stood in as Faith and Rachel stood in as Service. Some of the adults were kind enough to stand in for some of the Bow Stations. Dad Jeff did the Lambskin Apron Lecture. Our State Rainbow Dad came out to support us.

Afterwards, we did a “Five Favorite Things Giveaway” where everyone brought 5 of the same object and everyone drew a number from a bowl. The number that we picked would indicate the order we went in. The whole plan was for us to experiment with everyone else’s favorite things so we could try new things.

I look forward to having Abigail in our Assembly.

I got to experience my first initiation other than my own and it was amazing!  I helped initiate not one, but two girls!!  It was fun to get to know Amber and Rhianna better and to see their smiles when they got initiated.  Rhianna especially was really excited because she wanted to be in Rainbow for a long time.  I think that Rainbow is going to make them very happy and I was really happy to be a part of their initiation.  Our Assembly is so excited to have them as our new sisters!  My favorite part was at the very end when we were all happy shoving cake in our mouths. And Dad Grist even visited and gave the Lambskin Apron lecture!  Good times!!!
