On June 12 and 13, 2026, Khedive Shrine hosted their annual Rodeo event. This is a two day event that takes place every June. Every year, the Rainbow girls get asked to work the bounce house area. This is a huge service opportunity for us because we get to help with making a safe environment for all the kids that want to have fun in between and during the Rodeo events. Between the two days, we saw more kids on Saturday than Friday. It may have had something to do with the crazy weather we were having on Friday night! We also had help from our Kempsville DeMolay brothers each day. It was great to have the extra hands to help with the larger crowd on Saturday!

Each year, this event is always such a big success. Not only do we help by volunteering our time, but we help in promoting the organization. Many people come up to us and ask who we are volunteering with and this leads us to talk all about Rainbow. In addition, this time, we were able to get two petitions signed for Norfolk Assembly! This was very exciting! We even had one of our prospects help to volunteer as well, starting her Rainbow service even before she is initiated into the order. Overall, this was a great event to have fun at and spread the word of our beautiful order.

Berkeley Lodge, along with Job’s Daughters Bethel 37 and Norfolk Assembly #15, hosted the second annual Father Daughter Dance at Berkeley Lodge on Saturday, June 22. The Hawaiian theme was loved by all, with a palm tree standee made by our very own Worthy Advisor, Becca, along with Spam sushi for dinner. There was dancing, food, and a wonderful time for everyone. This is the second time we have been able to assist. We look forward to this service next year.

Khedive Shrine hosted its 19th annual rodeo on Friday, June 14th, and Saturday, June 15th, and Norfolk Assembly #15 assisted with the bounce houses along with Hampton #2 on Friday and Richmond #10 on Saturday. The girls had a blast, helping the kids on and off the bounces and also monitoring the children as they played in the bounce houses, and with the javelin bounce. It is a fun and rewarding service we do each year!

On May 15^th, we had a lodge gardening event. We removed all the weeds and dead plants from the front area of the lodge before taking a well-deserved lunch break. I helped Dad Clancy and Mom Barbra putting together a few new cabinets for the Ladies Bathroom and then headed back out to help finish planting the flowers. We worked really hard, and our beautiful lodge really reflected that.
