On September 22nd the MCHQWA Ball was held at the Alexandria Scottish Rite Temple.  There were a lot of people there from all over the state.  This was also the first time my dad came to one of the dances.  My mom and I made him come on the dance floor for Don’t Stop Believin’.  I had a really great time dancing with all my friends, just like every other dance.  I didn’t get home until after midnight and I was exhausted the next day, but it was worth it.

Promoting Rainbow – Back to School Night!

On Thursday, September 27, M’Balu, Batu and I went to the Back-to-School Night at Covington-Harper Elementary School, in Dumfries, VA.  We each wore different styles of Rainbow attire, I wore a formal, Batu wore a short dress, while M’Balu wore Rainbow casual.  One of the girls, who is eight, came up to me and asked about my dress.  She then kept telling her dad that she likes dresses.  Another girl was there with her Grandmother.  Her Grandmother was interested in Rainbow and kept saying that her Granddaughter turned ten on September 30th.  She provided her contact information so we could talk to them about some of our upcoming fun events in October.  

We handed out the Rainbow pamphlets, a sheet with all of our fun-events for October and for our Charity event on November the 3rd.  We talked to 9-10 parents and handed out seven applications for membership.  We also had fun talking about Rainbow and meeting new people!

Prince William Chapter Installation

On September 22nd, Prince William DeMolay Chapter had their installation of officers. The Master Counselor, Kate’s little brother Connor, got installed along with his officers. He was a little flustered and definitely excited for his term opening with a great speech thanking Mom Debbie for starting his journey in DeMolay, and the rest of his family and friends for supporting him while he was making his way to the east. After rolling smoothly through the rest of his installation the installing team wrapped things up and we all hung out in the refreshment hall.

Day of Service –

On 11/11/2018, Manassas Assembly did a day of service for a couple people active with the lodge.  We spent the afternoon raking and blowing leaves for two different families.  The girls there were:  Kate, Dalanie, Zoey, M’Balu, Allison, Batu, Joella, Gigi and myself.  Dalanie found out that she really likes working with leaf blowers, but sadly I don’t have her talent for it.  Zoey had fun covering herself in the leaves too!  When we finished we had cookies, donuts and hot cocoa.
