Supreme Banquet – July 29, 2018

My 2018 Supreme Assembly experience officially started with the Supreme Banquet on Sunday, July 29^th.  The room was so big!  It was impressive to see the ballroom because they said there were 101 tables in the room and there were 10 people at each table which didn’t include all the Supreme and acting supreme officers at the front.  They even had live music from a local school orchestra!  They served mashed potatoes, chicken, green beans & carrots, caramel cake and iced tea.  After the meal was over we were able to get a picture of all the girls and adults from Manassas Assembly.  I think that was the only time during the entire week that we were all together as a group.  Once pictures were done we cleared off the centerpieces and went to the dance put on by VA DeMolay and danced into the night until it was over.

Supreme Assembly – August 1, 2018

Wednesday morning session was the official closing and then the installation of the new Supreme Officers.  I had to get up early to pack up my stuff in the room and after breakfast I headed over to the coliseum.  We got to see Mom J installed as the new Supreme Love and found out that the next Supreme will be in Reno, NV in 2020.  Once it was over we helped to take down stars and then we needed to get to the cars to load everything.

We had lunch at Chili’s in Hampton, VA and decided to stop off at Colonial Williamsburg after lunch and we toured it until it closed with Allison, Eliza, me, Mom Amy and Mom Louisa.  We had a good time and the three of us picked up matching friendship rings to remember our time.  After that we went to Yankee Candle to get caramel corn for the trip home.

I am looking forward to Reno 2020!

Manassas Installation:

On July 22 we had our Manassas installation for Kate’s term! We had carrying pieces that were Playbills with our faces on the front. Vanessa was the Installing Officer, Gigi was the Installing Recorder, Selena was the Installing Marshal, and Allison was the Installing Musician. The theme this term is musicals. The mascot is a polar bear. After the installation we had some delicious food and we cleaned up. Some of us had to run to make it to Springfield’s Installation.  It was an amazing installation and I wish Kate the best term ever!!

JoElla – Manassas Assembly #13

Hampton installation

Lauren was installed as Worthy Advisor and her theme was unicorns and other magical things. Her mascots are Um the purple unicorn (nicknamed Georgette), Uh the rino, and Helen the pink unicorn.

Her gavel has a fluffy unicorn with butterflies on it (Lauren is scared of butterflies). Dad Joe became Assembly Dad and received a beautiful rainbow hat as a gift. The room was decorated in clouds and stars and there was plush clouds with faces scattered around the assembly room. The girls from Manassas that attended are Dalanie, Vanessa, Gigi, and I.

The installation was great and everyone had a great time.
