On February 19, 2016, our Assembly was invited to attend Youth Night at Ocean View Lodge in Norfolk, VA. There were a group of Jobies, DeMolay, and Rainbow Girls in attendance. Norfolk Assembly and a few girls from Hampton spoke about the meaning of Rainbow.The Norfolk  DeMolay Chapter did the Flower Talk and the Jobies did another presentation using flowers to explain the meaning of each of the different Masonic Youth Organizations. Before the presentations, we mingled and had pizza and soda. I enjoyed this because I got to learn more about our joint Masonic organizations. There were also really pretty and detailed murals on the walls. I hope to go back again next year.

The Tidewater Installation for the DeMolay on March 5, 2016 was fun. Three of us from Norfolk Assembly LT were in attendance. Gabe was installed as Master Counselor and Abbey from Smithfield Assembly became Chapter Sweetheart. After the Installation there was a dance. They played songs like “Cupid Shuffle”, “Biker Shuffle”, and “Cotton-Eyed Joe”. Everyone danced to these and looked like they were having fun. At the very end of the night the DJ played “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri. I enjoyed this Installation and Dance a lot and I hope I can go to more.

Hampton Assembly attended the Kempsville Chapter DeMolay Installation on a recent Saturday night. Jared was elected Master Councilor. All the boys did a wonderful job and they had so many visitors they had to add chairs on the sidelines and in the West. Dad Williams did the Flower Talk and we were all impressed with his ritual work.

Afterwards there was a dance and lots of people stayed and hung out until late.

Much Rainbow Love,

Rachal and I travelled on a rainy Sunday to Roanoke to attend their Installation. It is always fun to go there and see the guys. They don’t get many visitors because they are so far away and they don’t have Rainbow Girls nearby. Tidewater and Kempsville Demolay also went. They were happy to see us. Keith Yancey was their new Master Councilor. The Installation was very nice. At the reception we had sandwiches and chips while we sat and visited with everyone. It was nice to catch up wth them since we don’t see them often.

On the way home, we did some sight seeing and took lots of pictures. It is a long drive but we love getting to spend time together.

Much Rainbow Love,
Olivia
