Ms. Sandy Leathers was installed on March 3^rd, 2018. Katie, Sami, M’balu, Batu and I went to Quantico’s John A. Lejeune Masonic Temple.  Mom Tammy, Mom Jean, and Mom Robin attended also. M’balu, Batu and I helped pass out programs and prayer rocks. I enjoyed attending an OES installation and I enjoyed seeing everyone at Quantico again. The weather had the power out in a few places and I’m glad Quantico wasn’t one of them.

On March 10th, we arrived at the Lodge shortly after 1pm.  We brought in our food and got changed for the Installation.  It was really nice since Mom Jean was installed as Worthy Matron this year and she has always been so helpful to our Assembly.  Dad Tom was supposed to be installed as Worthy Patron, but he couldn’t be there.  This year Mom Jean is honoring women and her charity is blood drives and she talked about the importance of donating blood.  After the Installation closed, Dad Joe Grist and Vanessa did a flag tribute. Then some of the Rainbow Girls paired up with their Eastern Star Mothers and performed a Ribbon Ceremony for Mom Jean.  Once the Ribbon Ceremony was over, the Prince William Chapter for DeMolay added beads to the ribbons with their own ceremony.  Then there were pictures and a reception in the dining hall.  The Rainbow Girls that were there included:  Katie, Dalanie, Zoey, Vanessa, M’Balu, JoElla, Maribel, Sami, Jazmyn, Batu, Gigi, Abigail, Emma and myself.  The adults and parents from Rainbow who were there included:  Mom J, Mom Jean, Mom Robin, Mom Barbara, Mom Darcy, Mom Paula, Mom Louisa, Dad Clancy, Mom Deborah, Mom Joanne, Dad Wyatt, Mom Debbie, Dad Carl, Mom Deborah, and Mom Joanne.

On March 10th, 2018, Mom Jean was installed as Worthy Matron of the Wimodausis Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star.  The girls that went were: Isabella, Zoey, Abby, Vanessa, Katie, Sami, Maribel, Batu, M’Balu and myself.  Some of the girls had said parts with their Moms in the East, called the Ribbon Ceremony. 

As I am the Grand Flag Bearer of the O.E.S. Flag, I thought it would only be right if I came to the installation. 

In the end, everything was beautiful and the food was delicious!  Congratulations Mom Jean!

On Monday, October 17, 2016, Fredericksburg Majority Rainbow Girl, Kiran Ahmed, was initiated into the Fredericksburg Chapter of OES by Past Worthy Grand Patron, William Rennagel. Pictured here with our Supreme Worthy Advisor, Susan Rennagel; it is always a good day in Virginia Rainbow when one of our Majority Members choose to remain in the Masonic Community as a member of one of the sponsoring bodies. Congratulations to Kiran!
