On February 10th Manassas Assembly visited the residents of MAHOVA.  We handed out Valentine cards!  We had a great time interacting with the residents ~ so many of them had such great stories to share!

We met the King and Queen of the home, Ed and Paula Swansey and had our picture taken with them.  We also met a lady that is 101 years old, and boy does she look amazing! 

I can’t wait to write letters to them and share more stories.  We only had 2 hours to visit, which was not nearly enough time.  Hopefully we can plan another visit soon!

Manassas Assembly #13

On Saturday, February 3rd, Smithfield Assembly held a called meeting for Initiation.  Manassas Assembly had 4 girls travel to assist with the ceremony.  Gigi protemmed as WAA, Vanessa protemmed as Patriotism, Katie protemmed as Fidelity and I protemmed as Love.  When we arrived, they asked if anyone knew the part of Hope, so Katie filled in at the last minute and did that part too!  I am glad that we were able to attend and help our Rainbow sisters out!  Congratulations to Smithfield on gaining a new member.

Manassas Assembly #13

On February 3rd, 2018 Smithfield Assembly held their Installation of Officers. Jordyn was installed as Worthy Advisor. I had the honor of being their Installing Marshall, Vanessa from my Assembly was Installing Chaplain. The members of Manassas Assembly present were: Katie, Sami, Vanessa, and myself. In the Worthy Advisor’s speech Jordyn said she loved Rainbow for many reasons, one of which was the fact that her Rainbow Sisters loved her without trying to change her. Her friends knew who she was and that she was shy, and they loved her anyway, telling her she didn’t have to pretend to be an extrovert to be happy. Her theme centered around wildflowers.

After the Installation, I shared a quote with Jordyn that I felt matched her theme and her speech, “A sunflower does not have to change into a rose in order to be beautiful”. Everyone is different, but our differences are what make us beautiful.

The Installation was beautiful, the members of Smithfield Assembly are always so kind, I hope that they have an amazing term!

On January 28 Joella, Mackenzie, M’balu, Batu, Sami, Katie, Vanessa, Jazmyn and I, along with Moms Robin, Paula, and Angie went to Hampton’s installation. We had stayed the night previous at a hotel, with everyone split between three rooms.

Before the Installation, we went to a thrift store. Some girls got dresses, others got more casual wear. I got a toy, that Mom Paula bought for me. 

Britney went in again with everything the same as her last term except her charity is now Supreme 2018. 

I had a fun time at Hampton’s installation, and I’m sure the other girls did as well. I cannot wait to see the girls at Hampton again.
