At the OES Official Visit in Charlottesville on June 14, the Worthy Grand Matron, Barbara Davis-Flanagan, presented an award, ‘Our Angel of Friendship’ for District 17 to our very own Mom Donna Kluefer. The award is being given in every district this year to a person, voted on by the Worthy Matrons of that District, who exemplifies charity, volunteerism and helpfulness to the Chapters and their community.

We are VERY proud of Mom Kluefer for all she does to help others and Virginia Rainbow.

On November 21^st, Smithfield Assembly served dinner at the American Legion for their Museum. The members come together from across the area and then visited the War Museum in Newport News. When we arrived, everyone was socializing for a few minutes. We all put on aprons and served plates of food to about 35 people. After they finished eating, cleared the tables, and cleaned up the area. The American Legion made a generous donation to our Assembly for all of our hard work.

When we left, we went to Wal-Mart to purchase food for our service project. We put together a food basket for the less fortunate. We bought a whole meal for a family that would not have had one. It was a great night and we really enjoy doing for others.

It made us feel great doing something for others!

In Rainbow Love and Service,

On the evening of February 8^th, Erin and I got the privilege of attending the Valentine’s Dinner of Rockingham Union Lodge in Harrisonburg, VA. It was our first time meeting the Masons in this Lodge. We arrived and got a tour of the Lodge which was built in the 1700s. The Lodge is full of history of America and they are currently doing renovations to get stained glass windows which look spectacular. After our tour, we got to meet all of the Master Masons and their wives. We enjoyed our dinner talking with them about school, goats, and firefighting. The dinner was delicious and it was cool to see how excited they were to meet some Rainbow Girls. In the picture is the Worshipful Master Russell Pence.
