On Sunday, August 9th, Richmond Assembly had their Installation of officers and it was amazing! Their Installation started off with a pledge Installation where two of their pledges were installed into pledge sister and associate pledge sister! This was adorable and I’m so proud of those girls for their hard work! I can tell that they are excited and will do great things when they get initiated into Rainbow. 

Richmond Assembly’s term theme is based off of the Lego movie, “Everything is Awesome! with Richmond Rainbow”. Their charity is “Little Hands RVA” and their motto is “Everything is cool when you’re part of a team!”. I think this theme really fits Richmond Assembly for the term, because this time, all the officers will be doing projects throughout the term. They did not install one specific girl to be Worthy Advisor, to give the girls the chance to move through the stations. They will rely on each other to help solve problems and make the term a huge success! A huge shoutout to Richmond Assembly for working so hard and making this such a fun Installation! I cannot wait to see all the awesome things they will accomplish!

I had the pleasure of attending Richmond Assembly No. 10’s Installation of Officers. It was held on August 9th 2026 at Manchester Lodge in Richmond, VA at 2pm and ended at 4 pm. There was a reception held afterwards with lots of delicious food! Before the Installation started, there was a Pledge installation and Annabelle went in as Pledge Sister! It was so cute to see our little pledge sisters get to do their own little Installation ceremony. 

Richmond’s term theme is “Everything is Awesome! with Richmond Assembly” and is inspired by the LEGO movie. This time, Richmond Assembly did not install one girl as the Worthy Advisor, this time, they are splitting up the duties and responsibilities of the Assembly with the active officers. The main charity for the term is “Little Hands RVA”. The Assembly Room was filled with lots of supporters of Richmond No. 10, including the Grand Worthy Advisor, who belongs to Richmond Assembly! I loved all the fun and bright Lego decorations in the Assembly room! 

Norfolk had a great showing of 5 girls and 3 advisors! We were all so happy to be in attendance to support our sisters. I am very excited to see all that Richmond Assembly will do for this term and will be there to support them in any way that I can.

On August 9th, 2026, Richmond Assembly had their installation of officers at Manchester Lodge. This term, there will not be just one girl leading the Assembly. It will be all of the girls working together since there is not an installed Worthy Advisor. The theme for the term is “Everything is Awesome! With Richmond Rainbow”. The mascot is a Lego mini figure, and the symbols are Lego bricks. Their colors are red, yellow, and blue, and their flower is a yellow daffodil. Little Hands RVA will be the charity of the term. The motto is “Everything is cool when you’re part of a team!” I definitely feel this motto fits the term with all the members coming together to make the term a success! For the reception, they had a taco bar and cute Lego cupcakes. 

I’m so happy I was available to be able to go to Richmond Assembly Installation. I’ve said it for every other installation, but I love seeing my sisters come together to support others. I always love their installations because they do a pledge installation, too. The girls are so cute when they go into their offices. I had so much fun and can’t wait for the next event.

               Hello! On July 14^th through the 16^th of 2023, I got to attend South Carolina’s “Remember These Moments” Grand Assembly. This was my second year attending their Grand, and to say I was excited would be an understatement. I rode with Mom Kelly, Sam, and Dad Joe to South Carolina, so you can imagine how fun the ride down was. We listened to a LOT of Taylor Swift.

On Friday, we made it just in time for lunch and the afternoon session. During lunch, I got to see some of the amazing girls I met at the last grand and people from out of state. The afternoon session was good. We got to hear from the representatives and dignitaries before we had majority service. Everyone’s speeches were beautiful. We also found out that Ella, Sam, and I were going to be speaking during the session. Which, if anyone went to the Grand Officer Training Day, Kaitlyn Reed taught us how to speak on the fly, so that lesson definitely came in handy. They also have elections for the new GWAA during session, instead of Banquet. Congratulations to Annabelle G. on becoming this year’s GWAA of South Carolina!

On Saturday, there was only an evening session which was “Book of Memories”. So, we had a bit of time to relax, play games, and hang out with the other girls. Of course, we had to make a Target run to get some fun card games to play in the rooms. We even played Uno with the South Carolina and North Carolina girls at the lodge. Dad Joe joined in, but we made sure to give him a hard time with our Uno skip cards. (Sorry Dad Joe) We then had the evening session which was “Book of Memories”. That’s when the Grand Worthy Advisor, Bethany, shared her final speech and her appreciation towards her assembly and all of those who supported her. We then had banquet, which is somewhat like ours, where we find out the rest of the grand appointments. The new grand rep to Virginia is Anna J! She is so sweet, and I know we will see her around more often.

On Sunday, we had the Installation of Officers. Congratulations to Ashley L. on a beautiful installation and on becoming Grand Worthy Advisor! I know that this upcoming year is going to be amazing for South Carolina Rainbow. I am so excited to see what she has planned. All of the girls did a beautiful job this past weekend. I am happy to call South Carolina Rainbow family.

Over this past weekend, I have made so many amazing memories. Everyone was so welcoming to us, and that’s always something we need. I can’t wait to attend more of South Carolina’s events. Ashley and Annabelle are both going to do an incredible job. I am excited to see what’s next to come. South Carolina will always be a second home to Virginia Rainbow.

On Saturday, July 24th, 2021, we had our installation at Manchester Lodge. Sammy, our incoming Worthy Advisor, and the Advisory Board did a really good job decorating and planning everything. We had to arrive at the lodge at 10am to practice and help get some things ready. It was nice to have an in-person installation again. We had
some of our Rainbow sisters from all over Virginia come and visit. Sammy did an amazing job and I know that her “Finding Magic From Within” term is going to be great!

Last Friday on July 23rd, our Assembly had a pool party and a “Pass the Torch” event at Grace’s house. We all had a blast doing karaoke, eating pizza, and swimming of course. We played fun games and loved Dad Joe’s brownies that Grace “willingly” shared. We all tried this game where you get two towels and cross together. We spent hours trying to untie the towels. Some of the girls spent the night, but we barely got any sleep. Overall, we had a really great time, and would love to do it again.

In Rainbow Love and Service,
