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!

Manassas Assembly has been communicating with residents from the Masonic Home. We visited MAHOVA for the first time this term in February. We all love them so much we wrote letters to them! Many girls in our Assembly have multiple “grandparents”! Our Assembly decided to plan another visit in April on our way to competitions. That time we had lunch with them and socialized. We visited the King and Queen of the Home. Mr. and Mrs. Swansey took us around the corner from their room to a new resident that had just moved in a week before our visit. She didn’t know much about us, but she definitely loved the visit! I decided to write a letter to her. Our Assembly has even received some letters back from our grandparents! I love the Masonic Home, all of the residents make me so happy and I wish I had more time to spend with everyone! They all have something so unique about them and they are so special to visit with!

On May 6th, Manassas Assembly #13 attended Ashburn Assembly #11’s Initiation, in which they initiated Ava. The girls who attended were Joella, Gigi, Katie, Zoey, M’Balu, Batu, Dalanie, Sami, and myself. All of us did at least one protem. Gigi was Worthy Advisor, Katie was Worthy Associate Advisor, Dalanie was Charity, Zoey was Hope and Nature, I was Religion and Fidelity, Joella was Patriotism, Batu was Service, M’Balu was Drill leader, and Sami was Faith. I was asked to be Religion at the last moment, so I spent Opening and the time when Love was doing her speech to refresh on my speech, as I hadn’t been Religion in a while, but I ultimately think I didn’t fail too badly at it. Fidelity was already implanted in my head since I learned it for Competitions, so that just came off without me having to give it much thought. When we had to bring the ribbons back to the pedestals, I got a little confused, but M’Balu helped me out and took the ribbon off.  After the Initiation, we all ate snacks and talked. Overall, the Initiation was very beautiful and memorable, and I’m happy that we have a new Girl in Virginia Rainbow!
