On July 17, 2021, Quantico Freedom Assembly #6 held its installation of officers.  The meeting room was beautifully decorated with lots of lights and there were even water fountains to create a serene atmosphere!  These decorations helped support the theme of “Imagine, Innovate, and Include” by taking some hints from The Last Airbender with the elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.  Akshita was installed as the Worthy Advisor this term and she has two mascots, a Peacock and a Flying Sky Bison.  Akshita is very involved with Robotics and STEM, so she chose charities that fit perfectly with the educational priorities in her life to include Young Abilities and the Malala Fund.  I hear there are so many events planned for this coming term and I can’t wait to find out what they are!  Congratulations to all the newly installed officers.  I know this will be an exciting term.

On July 18^th, 2021, Manassas Assembly held their Installation of Officers at 2 pm. Prior to the regular Installation service, there was an uncrowning ceremony for the outgoing Worthy Advisor, Sami, which was an interesting and different addition to the regular Installation program. Eliza was installed as Worthy Advisor, and their term theme is “Survivor”. As soon as I saw the flyer for the Installation, I knew it was going to be great because of how unique the theme is, and because I am a huge fan of the show. Eliza’s mascot is the octopus, which she named Phillip. Following the Installation, there were refreshments and a field day. Overall, it was a beautiful Installation, and I am happy that I was able to visit a sister assembly!

On July 17th, 2021, Quantico-Freedom Assembly held our Installation of Officers for the new term. We arrived at noon to practice and to clean and organize the lodge before our guests arrived. The Installation started at 4 pm, and I had the honor of being asked to serve as Installing Officer. We decorated the assembly room so that each station represented a different element, and the result was beautiful. Akshita was installed as Worthy Advisor. Our Assembly theme for this term is “Imagine, Innovate, Include” and Akshita’s mascots are the peacock and the flying sky bison, which she named Andromeda and Lefty. Our term colors are purple, blue, green, and gold, and our symbols are constellations, skyscrapers, and bridges. This term we are fundraising in support of the Malala Fund and Young Abilities, and we will be doing Lodge cleanups and volunteering at PWC robotics competitions throughout the term. Following our Installation, we had refreshments downstairs, which included international foods. Akshita first served as Faith when we opened our Assembly two years ago, and it really is a reminder to all of us of how far we have come. Each member of our Assembly is proud of what we have accomplished, and we are excited to keep up our work for years to come!

Today I will be telling you about Quantico-Freedom Assembly’s installation! It was a very important and inspirational charity for the Malala fund. My personal favorite part was the decor of zodiac sings and Avatar themed things. Last but not least, everyone was happy laughing at Zoe and Mom Ange who started to cry because they were so happy for Akshita’s new term.
