I had a very exciting experience during my first Grand Assembly. Not just to see and meet friends, but because of all the fun we shared as well. It was such an honour to serve as a Grand Flag Bearer, especially considering the fact that I had only joined a few months before. It was an even greater honor to become appointed as the Grand Page to Supreme Inspector Mom Jenkins during Grand Banquet. My favourite part was definitely the dance on the last night. This was a wonderful first experience, and I can’t wait to have an even better Grand Assembly next year!

For our first fun event of the Grand Year we went to the Brock Environmental Center of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. We learned about what the Foundation does and how they are working to keep the bay and all the things that live in it safe. After that we went on a walk where we happened to be very lucky to find a baby turtle trying to get to the water. All I have to say is that the turtle was very adorable and we took it to the water where it was more safe. Before lunch they let us use a net to catch fish and everyone was excited to participate. Some people caught blue crabs, jelly fish, and different types of fish. Once we let all the little animals go, we went back to go eat and the food was great. It was a great experience and I’m happy I had the chance to go.

Norfolk Assembly’s Installation was amazing and we are so proud of their Assembly and how far they’ve come since they first started. Our Worthy Advisor Brianna and I traveled to visit. Their Worthy Advisor’s theme is ‘Around the World’ and her charity is to help animals that are less fortunate. It was nice to see all the Norfolk girls again and I do hope that Richmond Assembly will do more events with them this year. After the Installation we had lunch and it turns out that they have a tradition in their Assembly that the baby of the line (aka Sister of Faith) has to eat baby food. After lunch some people left but some Rainbow Girls got to stay for the sleepover Norfolk was having. We went to the park, played tag, and just had fun. When we got back to the Temple we had dinner and played ‘Never Have I Ever (Rainbow edition)’. Soon it was time for everyone to go to sleep in preparation for our day at the Brock Environmental Center the next day but it great to spend time with some of my Sisters.

Hampton Assembly’s Installation was great. It was great to see everyone after Grand Assembly all ready to start their terms. Hampton’s new Worthy Advisor is Brittany, and her mascot is Eeyore. Richmond #10 is looking forward to seeing more of Hampton and all their amazing Rainbow Girls, and doing more events with them. Congratulations on your new offices!
