On Friday May 11th, Sara, Kensley, Reagan, Aubrianna, Caitlyn, and Lauren attended the Grand Master’s Dinner in Williamsburg. The Advisors present were Mom Kim and our Mother Advisor, Mom Julie. We joined Tidewater Chapter and Bethel 39 in helping to serve and then clean up after the dinner. They had delicious cheesecake for dessert and we all got pins from the Grand Master’s wife. They are blue ovals with gold detailing and we are so happy to have a piece of their time in office. Hampton is always so happy to serve and enjoy the company of the other youth groups.

On February 17th, the Amaranth Grand Court of Virginia had its Installation of Officers. Those that attended were Gigi, Sydney, and myself. We all watched in awe as the Grand Court installed its members into their new offices. Mom Debbie and Dad Carl, members of our own Rainbow family, got installed in the east as Grand Royal Matron and Grand Royal Patron of Virginia. Although the room was a little hot the ceremony was beautiful and I’m so glad I was able to be there!

On March 3rd, we arrived at the Haymarket Lodge at about 2pm.  We were running late because we needed to change our clothes and fix our hair from our donut sales that morning since we were bundled up from the cold temperatures and the wind.  We were surprised when we got there because the Lodge had no electricity or heat so we kept our coats on to stay warm.  Despite the cold, no light or electricity the Installation was really nice.  Dad Michael Thornton played the guitar since they couldn’t play the digital piano.  Mary Alice Baird was installed as Worthy Matron for the year and her theme this year is the Rainbow Connection.  She talked about her time as a Rainbow Girl and she had Gigi sing the song The Rainbow Connection as a solo.  Gigi had to sing it without the piano and she did a good job.  We stayed for the reception afterwards and we sold boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts to those in attendance.

I had a very exciting experience during my first Grand Assembly. Not just to see and meet friends, but because of all the fun we shared as well. It was such an honour to serve as a Grand Flag Bearer, especially considering the fact that I had only joined a few months before. It was an even greater honor to become appointed as the Grand Page to Supreme Inspector Mom Jenkins during Grand Banquet. My favourite part was definitely the dance on the last night. This was a wonderful first experience, and I can’t wait to have an even better Grand Assembly next year!
