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.

Elize – Manassas Assembly #13

On August 7^th, my fellow assembly girls and myself went to the Manassas Battlefield trail to pick up trash. We walked for about an hour and a half cleaning the path while admiring the forest scenery. I admired some butterflies and grasshoppers that would pop out occasionally. After our walk, we stopped for some refreshments and snacks and even got to take pictures with people dressed like civil war soldiers before we got in our cars. They had replicas of old muskets and canteens. We had a blast, and we are excited for other events Eliza has planned for her term.

Maribel – Manassas Assembly #14

On Saturday October 3^rd, our historic preservation event was held. The girls who attended were Eliza, Allison, Addie, Alyssa, Sinclair, Sami, Katie, and myself. We had a load of fun planting two apples trees on the preservation which we named Autumn and Johnny Apple Tree. We also took apart an old planter box and built a near in a different area of the garden. Everyone that attended worked hard and had a blast.
