A majority member who has made a difference in my life isn’t exactly a “majority member,” although she has been adopted by VAMMA, and that is Pattie McLaughlin. Pattie was the board chairwoman when I became the Mother Advisor of Richmond Assembly and she helped me in so many ways learning how to be a board member. She answered all my Mother Advisor questions and even became a close personal friend. I would have never made it through my first year without her and even now I can go to her with anything inside or outside of Rainbow. I’m so grateful she is in my life.

 

Another Majority that I truly admire is Casey Humphries. When we met she was planning a wedding as well as attending Rainbow meetings and serving as the Recorder for the Assembly and the Advisory board. I remember seeing her walk in on those high heel shoes and seeing the confidence she portrayed. She was so helpful in helping me to get organized and was always there if I had a question or needed anything. Our relationship was mostly professional until the year I got to room with her at Grand Assembly. I really felt like we made a connection on a friend and sister level then. I am so thankful for her wisdom, her encouragement, and her place in my life!

My sister Sierra was asked by the Worthy Advisor-elect to be Installing Recorder at Fredericksburg Assembly so Sierra, Mom Jackson, and I went to help. It’s Ashley’s second term as WA and it was a lot of fun. All the girls did a great job. I was excited being introduced for the first time as a Grand Representative. Afterward they had an ice cream sundae bar. It was very yummy. I can’t wait to see what a magical term Ashley has in store!

This year at Grand Assembly I had tons of fun sharing a room with the younger girls. It was so great getting to know our younger sisters Sammy and Kemaya better. Kemaya is very funny and outgoing. I really enjoyed game night and the dance. I cried a lot during sessions because they were so beautiful and it was so wonderful to be part of Calvacade. All of our sisters in attendance received Grand appointments and our Assembly won 3rd in Assembly of the Year!  We also took 1st in Rodeo from Ritual competitions! Overall it was an amazing weekend and I can’t wait to do it again next year!!

For the 3rd year, Richmond Assembly was invited to come out to the Hanover Tomato Festival to help Washington and Henry Lodge with Child ID. They are always glad to have us help and we love being there talking to the kids and having fun telling people about Rainbow. The program is awesome and it helps keep kids safe. We look forward to helping again.
