On Sunday, January 7th, Fairfax Assembly had their Installation for their new term.  The following girls were installed: Zoë as Charity, Lorkin as Faith, Paige as Chaplain, and Kaylie as Fidelity. The girls who attended from our assembly, Manassas #13 were:  Isabella, Katie, Jazmyn, Sami, Gigi, Maribel, Delanie, and myself.  The adults that attended were: Dad Clancy, Mom Louisa, Mom Priscilla, Mom Deborah, Mom Robin and Dad Joe. The Installation went well and I presented Zoë with a gift, because she switched Assemblies. Hopefully Fairfax Assembly will continue to grow now that Zoë is there. The refreshments afterward were delicious and made me want more. I was at their Lodge in the morning to help set up with Zoë.  All in all, Fairfax had an amazing Installation and I can’t wait to see their Installation for their next term!

I arrived a little after 2pm on January 7th for Fairfax Assembly #3’s Installation.  Currently it’s a small assembly so there weren’t many girls to be installed, but it is growing each time I visit!  Their Sister of Charity presided over the event once the officers were installed since they don’t have a Worthy Advisor at this time.  She did a really good job and it was good practice for when she becomes the Worthy Advisor.  Once installation was over refreshments were served.  Several Rainbow Girls were there from the Manassas Assembly #13: Gigi, Katie, Dalanie, Joella, Sami, Maribel, Jazmyn and me.

I arrived a little after 1pm all dressed and ready for Installation.  We started the Manassas Assembly Installation on time at 2pm with a tribute to the American Flag by Dad Grist and Vanessa.  The Installation was beautiful even if there was an unfortunate incident with one of our Sisters getting sick during the installing of the officers.  It was quickly dealt with and everything moved on as planned.  There were three Past Grand Worthy Advisors present as well as the current Grand Worthy Advisor, Olivia, along with several other VA Grand Officers.  The Installing Musician, Michael Thornton, made everything fun with his guitar playing and our pledge and the visiting pledges made the ribbon ceremony special.  Gigi was installed for her second term as Worthy Advisor and her calendar looks like it has many fun events planned.  This term’s theme is: Happiness; with a motto of:  Find the happiness in all you do; with the Mascots: the original Care Bears.  The Installation had a reception afterwards in the dining hall with a really cute Care Bear cake.

On August 12, Smithfield had their Installation of Officers.  Delaney is the new Worthy Advisor.  I was honored to be her Installing Chaplain for her Installation.  Delaney was crowned by Abby, and her gavel was presented by her parents.  Her theme for her term is “Where the Wild Things Are”.  Delaney’s motto is “This is all Yours.  You are the Owner of this World.”  Her mascot is a wolf that she named Max along with her symbols being crowns, sailboats, and leaves.  Her charity for the term is the American Diabetes Association.  Nearly 30 million people battle diabetes every day and every 23 seconds someone new is diagnosed.  Diabetes causes more deaths a year than breast cancer and AIDS combined. 

After the Installation, we had some dinner and stayed for a dance.  Smithfield’s Installation was beautifully done and I can’t wait to see Delaney throughout her term as Worthy Advisor.
