August is the month of Masonic service. So, on the first day of August, we were already helping the Masons by serving dinner at Joppa Lodge! Becca, Melanie, Majority Member Casey, and I were helping to make sure everyone got their fair share of food. The Grand Master was there and he was very glad that we helped serve dinner! The Masons gave us a sweet love gift to show that they really appreciated our help that night. We appreciate our Masons!

Manassas Assembly started Masonic Service Month by preparing and serving dinner for the Royal Arch Masons meeting and presenting a program explaining the 7 colors of the Rainbow! We had 8 Rainbow Girls/Pledges present along with 10 board members/parents! It was a great evening serving one of the Masonic Orders along with promoting Rainbow!

Hampton Assembly visits a local retirement home once a month and plays bingo with the residence. The Shelton Home was pretty cool this month. It looked like there were more people playing bingo than usual. We had said that my green jacket was good luck because the two people I was helping won bingo twice. After bingo we went around and gave them all snacks and fruit punch. We always make a joke not to give them too much punch and snack or they will get a sugar high. Every one of the Rainbow Girls that showed up had a good time and lots of fun.

On March 21^st, Fairfax and Ashburn Assembly went to the Kena Shrine and stuffed over 7,000 eggs for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. We made an assembly line and at one end of the table we passed eggs around and filled them with candy, and then we ended up throwing the eggs (gently) to the bin in the center of the table. When we were done, we filled about over 10 boxes full of eggs. We were able to get all the eggs done quickly, which was appreciated by the Shriners. Ashburn then came out on Saturday to help hide the eggs and make sure that everything was ready to go when all the kids showed up for the annual egg hunt and clown show. We had a great time helping them!
