On August 1st, at 5:30pm, Ashburn Assembly #11 began their installation of officers. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, only a limited amount of people were able to be physically present at the installation. For those who were unable to attend in-person, there was a Facebook stream that allowed others to virtually attend. I was lucky enough to have been Installing Chaplain, and therefore be able to attend the event in-person. Also, on the Installing Team from Manassas Assembly was Kaitlyn “Gigi”, as Installing Marshal, and Vanessa, as Special Installing Officer. The Installation team all performed their ritualistic parts beautifully. The newly Installed Worthy Advisor, Lorkin, then was crowned, and given pictures of her gavel, which was stuck in the mail, due to the Pandemic. Lorkin’s Term theme is “Nature’s Beauty”. Her motto is “The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn” and her colors are light gray, pure white, and pastel green. Her mascot is Totoro, a character from a movie called “My Neighbor Totoro”. But best of all are Lorkin’s Service and Charity Projects. This term, Ashburn will be doing beautification projects, as well as work with the Colvin Run Mill for events. Lorkin is looking up to be an amazing Worthy Advisor and Ashburn is sure to have an amazing 6 months.

Ashburn Assembly Installation 8/1/2020

On August 1, 2020 at 5:30 pm Ashburn Assembly had its installation of officers.  This term, Lorkin K. was installed as Worthy Advisor.  Due to COVID-19, attendance was limited so anyone without an invitation could watch over Facebook.  Congratulations to all the newly installed officers with their new stations!  I did watch the installation, but the audio wasn’t the greatest, so I wasn’t able to get all of the details planned for this term.  I do know that Lorkin’s gavel wasn’t able to arrive on time due to shipping issues with the pandemic.  However, I know that the rest of her term will be wonderful!
