The Richmond Installation was on January 27th, 2018 at the Scottish Rite Temple. Sierra was being installed as Worthy Advisor and her theme was “Walk the Stage with Broadway Musicals”.  I went there with Zoey, M’Balu and Mom Jean and we ate at a Wendy’s with very bad service.  The Girls that attended were me, Isabella, Gigi, M’ Balu, Zoey, Joella, Makenzie, and Dalanie. Before the Rainbow Installation, the Girls held a Sparkle Installation for Sierra’s little sister. During the Rainbow Installation, the Installing Officers did a great job and I really liked the carry-in’s that the Richmond Girls made. Sierra was presented with her crown, gavel, and sounding block by her friends and family, and she gave a speech about her theme and the musicals that she chose to use in the Installation. Then two of the Richmond Girls (one of them being her sister) performed a musical that they wrote about Sierra becoming Worthy Advisor and gave her the red panda mascot. In the refreshment room, each table was decorated with things from some of Sierra’s favorite musicals. Everyone got to vote on the best decorated table by the Girls, and the best decorated table by the adults. The winners was the Hamilton table (by Girls) and the Wicked table (by adults). There was lots of food and I definitely had lots of fun!

Manassas Assembly #13

January 27, 2018 

I arrived at 2pm on January 27th for Richmond Assembly #10’s Installation.  There were so many people there and the opening was great.  Sierra Jackson was installed as Worthy Advisor and her theme this term is: Walk the Stage with Broadway Musicals and her programs had several different musicals on their cover.  My favorite one was Hamilton and they played songs from that musical during the Installation so we sang along from the audience.  The line officers even put on a skit for her and Dad Grist did a special poem for Sierra’s crowning ceremony.  Her mascot this term is a red panda that she named Perc.  It was a great beginning to what looks like will be a very successful term.  Once installation was done pictures were taken and we got to vote for the best decorated table in the dining room and then refreshments were served.  Several Rainbow Girls were there from the Manassas Assembly #13: Gigi, Delanie, Zoey, Mackenzie, M’Balu, Joella, Alyssa, and me along with many of our adults which included:  Dad Clancy, Mom Priscilla, Mom Jean, Mom Ange, and Mom Louisa.

On February 3rd, 2018 Smithfield Assembly held their Installation of Officers. Jordyn was installed as Worthy Advisor. I had the honor of being their Installing Marshall, Vanessa from my Assembly was Installing Chaplain. The members of Manassas Assembly present were: Katie, Sami, Vanessa, and myself. In the Worthy Advisor’s speech Jordyn said she loved Rainbow for many reasons, one of which was the fact that her Rainbow Sisters loved her without trying to change her. Her friends knew who she was and that she was shy, and they loved her anyway, telling her she didn’t have to pretend to be an extrovert to be happy. Her theme centered around wildflowers.

After the Installation, I shared a quote with Jordyn that I felt matched her theme and her speech, “A sunflower does not have to change into a rose in order to be beautiful”. Everyone is different, but our differences are what make us beautiful.

The Installation was beautiful, the members of Smithfield Assembly are always so kind, I hope that they have an amazing term!
