Grand Court Order of Amaranth Installation

On February 15^th, 2020, Grand Court Order of the Amaranth had their installation of officers. Manassas Assembly came to support Mom Sherry Whidden, who was installed as Grand Royal Matron and Dad Richard Whidden, who was installed as Grand Royal Patron. The girls in attendance were Dalanie, Gigi, and Vanessa. Mom Priscilla and Dad Tom were both installed Grand Officers. Mom Sherry requested that Rainbow do the pledge ribbon ceremony for her, so her gavel could be encircled with the colors of the rainbow.   Gigi, Sara, Dalanie, Reagan and Lorkin preformed the ceremony. Since Mom Sherry is so close to the masonic youth orders, she had Noah, Mary and Gigi speak during her speech, to give a small description of what their orders do. Past Grand Worthy Advisor Katie Whidden escorted Mom Sherry and Dad Richard, along with her brothers, for the signing of the Bible. Overall, it was a beautiful installation, and we are all very proud of Mom Sherry and Dad Richard for their work in the Order of the Amaranth.

Norfolk Installation

This was such a fun installation! I got to ride down all the way to Norfolk with my mom and mom J! The installation theme was based on Mama Mia, which for sure meant that the music was amazing for the whole event. Phoenix went in as Worthy Advisor, which was super exciting because the installation also took place on her birthday. After the installation we had baked potatoes and those really hit the spot. After the installation, on the journey back home, we stopped in Richmond for their assembly’s snowflake ball. Taylor was hosting this fundraiser which was decorated like a beautiful winter wonderland and there was awesome ice cream. All in all, this was a super fun and adventurous trip.

Amaranth Installation

Last Saturday, Manassas Assembly attended the Amaranth Installation at our lodge. Mom Priscilla and Dad Tom were retiring from the east and Mom Darcy and Dad Clancy moved up into the east! The girls from our assembly that attended were Vanessa, Eliza, Isabella, and myself. Gigi was also installed as a station in the court. Many other adults were there from our assembly! Mom Darcy chose her mascot to be a dog and even got her own mascot presented to her! So glad we were able to support very active adults of our assembly!

Sweetheart Ball – 2/1/2020

On Saturday, February 1st, I attended the DeMolay Sweetheart Ball held at the Manasseh Lodge. I got there right when it started because I knew I couldn’t stay all the way to the end.  I was so happy to see so many Quantico girls there!  I have really missed them, and it was so nice to catch up.  There were also several people that came that were also at the Ashburn installation that was held earlier in the afternoon.  I needed to leave a little before 9:30 because my Sunday was going to start early and be a very busy day.
