Bright and early Saturday morning Richmond Assembly met up to help serve and clean up the breakfast for the auction to raise money to donate towards Cancer and Parkinson’s Research. It was a blast and they raised lots of money.

Ashburn Assembly First Time of Service
On August 22, the Rainbow Girls of Ashburn Assembly No. 11 had the chance to help the Herndon Chapter Order of the Eastern Star serve dinner for the Commandery at our Lodge in Ashburn. The girls showed up with excitement as to what they would be doing. We all wore our white aprons for the first time. Our jobs were to help set the tables and serve food and drinks to the Commandery Members after the prayer was said. We all took turns carrying plates of food (taco salad) and serving drinks to the members. We cleared the tables and also served dessert (peach cobbler) and coffee.
It was fun to sit and talk to the members and learn about them and their uniforms. We took several pictures and learned a lot about their plumed hats. There were jokes about how many peacocks had to lose feathers to make one proper headgear. Some of our members volunteered to go on a peacock feather run to see how many we could collect. We wanted to see how many peacocks it would take and feathers so proper hats could be made.
The Herndon Chapter Order of the Eastern Star has the kitchen here running as one smooth working machine and we look forward to working with them again in the future. Plus we got to taste the dessert and it was really good.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you.
In Rainbow Love and Service,
Samantha, Faith

We helped the ladies who cooked the dinner, by serving the food to the members of the Royal Arch. Me and six others from Hampton went and even while working, we all still had a lot of fun. The members and ladies were so nice, and I can’t wait to see them again.

Hampton Assembly #2
This past weekend was very busy for Richmond Rainbow. We had dinner with Abe where we served the Grand Chapter of Eastern Star. Where we got to know a little bit more about Abraham Lincoln. Then the next day we had an early morning serving breakfast to Star. Where our very own Becca won a pig and Erin won a jewelry box during the auction. Later on that day we all got back together to pass out programs and help with the reception at the Grand Adah’s home chapter. During the initiation we all played cards together and even got to go eat some delicious Chick-fil-a. I loved being able to see the same women and men every day because of the friendships I was able to make. It was a very fun weekend spent with our sponsoring order.
