Royal Arch Dinner July 12, 2018

We arrived a little after 5:30 pm on July 12 for the Royal Arch Dinner.  We had chicken chili, rice, corn bread, and salad for dinner and various desserts.  Mom Louisa cooked and the following girls helped:  Akshita, Cassidy, Ella and me.  Akshita made a really good Indian ice cream dessert.  It was a fun dinner and we had a good time.  I was happy that we were done at the lodge at 8pm because I had to go home and get ready for Ohio’s Grand Assembly the next day.

Masonic District Lodge Picnic July 21, 2018

Manassas Assembly and several other Masonic Organizations were invited to the Masonic District Lodge Picnic on July 21, 2018.  It started with games that needed to be brought in because of the rain.  There were plenty of people who had their faces painted.  Lunch was served around noon and the food was really good.  The Masons had an open meeting where it was fun to watch and the youth groups were recognized.  After the meeting we had cupcakes and then helped to clean up so we could then decorate for the Rainbow Installation the next day.

On May 26, Manasseh Lodge had its annual Strawberry Night Dinner. There were 55 people present, including the Rainbow Girls that attended which were Gigi, Zoey and me. The Grand Master came to visit and was handing out pins and meeting all the families who came to visit. The food was delicious and dessert was of course, strawberries!  Everyone went to the Lodge room for presentations and remarks from the Grand Master after dinner. Everyone had a great time!

Manassas Assembly has been communicating with residents from the Masonic Home. We visited MAHOVA for the first time this term in February. We all love them so much we wrote letters to them! Many girls in our Assembly have multiple “grandparents”! Our Assembly decided to plan another visit in April on our way to competitions. That time we had lunch with them and socialized. We visited the King and Queen of the Home. Mr. and Mrs. Swansey took us around the corner from their room to a new resident that had just moved in a week before our visit. She didn’t know much about us, but she definitely loved the visit! I decided to write a letter to her. Our Assembly has even received some letters back from our grandparents! I love the Masonic Home, all of the residents make me so happy and I wish I had more time to spend with everyone! They all have something so unique about them and they are so special to visit with!
