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.

On Tuesday March 1, 2016, the Norfolk Rainbow Girls attended the South Norfolk Masonic Lodge dinner. Dad John Wallace Springer (Dad Chum) made a delicious chicken stew and cornbread and we had ice cream and brownies for dessert. Before we had dessert, there was a flag ceremony. It was presented by Portsmouth Commandery No 5.

We go to our Lodge every month to support our Masonic District and enjoy the food that they make and the fellowship that comes with eating with our sponsoring body. Join us on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm.
