Manassas Installation July 22, 2018

Manassas Assembly #13 held its installation of officers on July 22, 2018 at 2:00 pm at Manasseh Lodge.  Kate B. was installed as Worthy Advisor and her theme this term is Broadway and the Arts.  She had a heart felt speech explaining her charity:  Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  Her colors are aquamarine, silver and white.  Her mascot Roger is a polar bear.  Mom J, Kensley and so many grand officers and grand representatives were there.  There was lots of food and many people were rushed so they could get to the Springfield Installation that was to start at 5pm.  The event was good and I look forward to another great term at Manassas!

South Norfolk Installation 

On August 4th, Hampton Assembly went to South Norfolk for their installation. Before Kensley and I got to the lodge we jammed out to the Mama Mia soundtrack and got lost looking for Starbucks so we ended up at Dunkin’ Donuts. When we arrived, we were greeted by our Norfolk sisters and exchanged laughs and greetings. Kayla went in as Worthy Advisor. The installation was beautiful. Her family came from New Mexico to be a part of her installing team and it was touching. Her mascot is the horse, her service project is Our Military Kids, and her charity is the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation. There was a large turnout of Rainbow and DeMolay. It was wonderful to see the support from Virginia’s Masonic youth. The reception was a taco bar and girls from many assemblies congregated together at one of the tables. The Rainbow bond of friendship and sisterhood was apparent at South Norfolk and Hampton was delighted to be a part of it.

Fairfax Installation July 19, 2018

Fairfax Assembly #3 held its installation of officers on July 19, 2018 at 7:30 pm at Henry Lodge.  It was really nice because one year earlier only one officer was installed and this time there were five.  The ceremony was quick and they handed out several awards.  Kensley, the new GWA, was there and they presented her with gifts.  Mom J spoke about Supreme Assembly coming soon.  Manassas Assembly #13 had a lot of its members there including:  Katie, Dalanie, me, Vanessa, Sami, Akshita, Joella, Allison, Eliza, and Gigi.  Fairfax Assembly is growing fast and I can’t wait to see how many members there are next year!

After Manassas’s Installation, Hampton zoomed over to Springfield for their Installation of Officers. To get there, Mrs. Kim took the windiest road in existence and it was terrifying. There were so many twists and turns and we even saw horses! Soon after we got there, the installation began. Jeanne went in as WA and her mascot was the lion. Hailey was the Installing Officer and did absolutely fabulous. They also installed an Assembly Dad. Dad Harold was excited to assume the position but shocked to hear his duties included heavy lifting and helping the girls breakdown the assembly room. Afterwards Springfield had a reception with Philippine food that was very tasty and all the girls came together for fellowship. The ride home was long but we shaved off 8 minutes by leaving the highway and driving through cornfields!
