Manassas Girls are Friendly, Positive, and Helpful!

Posted in Blog on August 8th, 2015 by Webmaster
On Sunday, July 26 Manassas Assembly had their Installation of Officers. Alanna went in as Worthy Advisor for the second time. Most girls were tired from a long night before at the DeMolay dance. We have gained a lot of new members lately. Our Assembly has 15 stations filled and we know we have 2 more pledges joining this term also. Many girls earned merit bars. Zoey and Gigi won Friendliest. Dalanie and Gigi were selected as Most Helpful. Gigi was chosen as Positive Attitude and I was voted to Best Ritual. Manassas Assembly is ready for another amazing term!

My First Grand Assembly

Posted in Blog on August 6th, 2015 by Webmaster
This was my first Grand Assembly, but it definitely won’t be my last. It took place July 17-18 at the Doubletree in Williamsburg. There were a lot of people there from all over Virginia, Rainbow Girls and supporting Masonic organizations. We even had some visitors from South Carolina. I also got to see my friend from Springfield Assembly, which doesn’t happen very often. The sessions were very long, but the ceremonies were beautiful, especially the Book of Memories. The Fun Activities listed on the schedule really were fun. The talent show was great, and I had a lot of fun performing Rock Lobster with my friends. The dance was really fun. I knew a most of the songs, and I requested some of my favorites. The Grand Banquet was one of my favorite events. Even though I couldn’t participate in Competitions this year, it was still fun to hear the winners and cheer for people I know. I had a really good time at this Grand Assembly, and I hope to be able to go to the next one.

2015 DeMolay Conclave

Posted in Blog on August 3rd, 2015 by Webmaster

The DeMolay Conclave was a lot of fun!  The Conclave was held on July 25th, 2015 at Christopher Newport University.  There were 6 girls from Manassas that attended, Gigi, Delanie, Katie, Kate, Selena and me.  On the way down, we stopped at Starbucks.  All were happy about the stop, but Katie was the most excited.  Her drink was as big as she was.  We got there before the dance started, so Grand Worthy Advisor, Rachel Cochrane, gave us a little tour of the campus.

Conclave

After the tour it was time for the dance.  We had a lot of fun and met a lot of other Masonic youth.  I can’t wait until next year’s Conclave.

In Rainbow Love and Service,
Vanessa

Congratulations to Gigi on a Wonderful Term

Posted in Blog on July 20th, 2015 by Webmaster

Wow! What a wonderful term we had. Our Worthy Advisor, Gigi has done a great job for being a younger Worthy Advisor. She is organized and always had things planned for us to do! We did fundraisers for OES, Amaranth, Royal Arch, and the Masons. We had a lot of fun times too! We hosted a carnival and attended holiday parties at our Lodge! Our Assembly helped at a nearby school for their spring fling. We ran games, helped out at the dunk tank, and helped clean up. Another big fundraiser we hosted was our 2nd Annual Frank Sinatra dinner. We dressed up as waitresses and served our guests dinner. We learned that being a waitress is hard work! Manassas attended the State events also. Helping at Camp Friendship was a lot of fun. We worked in groups to clean up all around the camp. We also had a group of girls attend the International Dinner. Many of us participated in the Ritual Competitions in Richmond. We had 3 new girls join our Assembly this past term. We hosted a joint Initiation with Fredericksburg Assembly. Manassas Assembly had an awesome term and we are looking forward to the next 6 months!

Rainbow love,
Katie
