Dinner Service leads to Dinner for a Family
Posted in Blog on March 16th, 2014 by WebmasterOn November 21st, Smithfield Assembly served dinner at the American Legion for their Museum. The members come together from across the area and then visited the War Museum in Newport News. When we arrived, everyone was socializing for a few minutes. We all put on aprons and served plates of food to about 35 people. After they finished eating, cleared the tables, and cleaned up the area. The American Legion made a generous donation to our Assembly for all of our hard work.
When we left, we went to Wal-Mart to purchase food for our service project. We put together a food basket for the less fortunate. We bought a whole meal for a family that would not have had one. It was a great night and we really enjoy doing for others.
It made us feel great doing something for others!
In Rainbow Love and Service,

Out, about, and around the sea!
Posted in Blog on February 3rd, 2014 by WebmasterOn January 26th, 2014, Hampton Assembly #2 had their Installation of Officers. Maddy was installed as Worthy Adviser for this term. Her mascot is a dolphin, which went with her theme of “Out, About, and Around the Sea.” The dining hall was decked out in light blue and aqua green. Her Installing Officer was Danielle, who is a Past Worthy Advisor of Hampton Assembly. She was the person who introduced Rainbow to Maddy, so it was extra special. During her Silver Collection, she raised over $160 for her charity, Wounded Warriors. After the Installation, we headed downstairs for refreshments. A few minutes later, Samantha and Libbie appeared with her mascot, to get it back, Maddy had to earn $15 in change and sing “What Does the Dolphin Say?” She earned a total of over $180 for Wounded Warriors to go toward her goal of $1,500. The Installation was quite enjoyable and everyone is proud of her.

Fredericksburg’s Memorial Day Weekend
Posted in Blog on June 12th, 2013 by WebmasterOver the Memorial Holiday Fredericksburg Assembly #12 had a busy weekend full of service and remembrance for all of our fallen heroes. On Saturday afternoon we put together luminaries and placed them on the graves of war veterans in the Masonic Cemetery in Downtown Fredericksburg. It was a beautiful night and tribute. On Monday the Masons of Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4 hosted their annual Memorial Day March. It started at the cemetery with a few short speeches and a close look at one of the veterans in the cemetery, Colonel Stanard. Then we marched to the Hugh Mercer statue where we heard a wonderful speech given by Delegate Bobby Orrock.
Christine,
