On Saturday May 19th, Olivia the Grand Worthy Advisor of Virginia held the “Rainbow Regatta” Charity Dinner. The girls that attended from Manassas were Katie, Sami, Gigi, Dalanie, Zoe and myself.  We were packed in our cars early in the morning and we headed down to Hampton, Virginia.   Earlier that day we attended the Homecoming Grand Visitation at Hampton’s Lodge. It was a wonderful experience to go down and get to see all of the wonderful Rainbow Girls that live on the other side of Virginia that we don’t always get to see. I always have such a great time visiting with them. The charity dinner served wonderful food that I definitely enjoyed eating (the mac and cheese was amazing). There was also a huge floating shark and a rain gutter Regatta competition which all the girls enjoyed.  I can’t wait until the next time I get to visit all of my wonderful Rainbow Sisters.

Rainbow is more than just an organization, it is a family. The friendships I have made in Rainbow will last a lifetime. Rainbow has led me to make friends not even from the same state. Everywhere I travel through Rainbow, I feel at home with all the other girls across the Country. Rainbow Girls are always so welcoming and loving people to be around. My Rainbow friends and I have made some of my best memories, like crazy fun car rides, the best sleepovers, the funniest jokes, my dumbest moments that we always laugh about and just everything I do with them is great. They are the best friends I could ever ask for and I know that they always have my back.  My Rainbow friends have provided me with endless support through the toughest times and I am so thankful for them. Thank you to any of my Rainbow Sisters reading this and I can’t wait for so many more memories with all of you!

This February, I completed a whole year in Rainbow. In late celebration, I would like to reminisce on my Initiation.

​Truly, the event was awesome. I got initiated on Valentine’s Day, February 14th, 2017, along with two other girls, Ashley and Mackenzie, both who just so happened to be in my homeroom class that year. My friend, Isabella got me interested in Rainbow, so I applied, and was very excited to be initiated. I knew a significant number of members beforehand from school, which were Joella, Lillian, Isabella and Zoe, and I also knew Kate beforehand, as we both went to Karate together for 5 years or so. I got initiated during Vanessa’s term, and all the Girls did well in their parts. I remember being impressed by Zoe’s progress, since she had just been installed the month before, and I saw her lip-syncing Patriotism and saying the Service part perfectly. During the initiation, I remember being slightly confused by the process, but as my time in Rainbow progressed, I came to appreciate the beauty that occurs. Little did I know, my initiation into Rainbow would lead to the best years of my life.

Manassas Assembly has many adult supporters that were involved in the Masonic Youth groups when they were younger! Our very own Pledge Mom was actually a Pledge! Who knew?! Mom Vanessa was a Pledge from Fairfax Assembly. Mom Nancy, our Mother Advisor was a Rainbow Girl from Fairfax Assembly. We have many other adults who were involved in the Masonic family as younger kids! We are so glad they are able to share their experiences with us!
