The Adopt–a-Spot was held on April 22nd, on Ashton Avenue.  The Girls who came were Katie, Sami, Alyssa, JoElla, and me.  The chaperones were my nana, Mom Angie and Dad Bill. We arrived at the Lodge at 11:30 and talked about who would ride in which cars and then we went to Ashton Ave.  As the Girls stood in a circle, Dad Bill explained the directions and safety rules to us.  We all grabbed an orange vest and a trash picker-upper.  We broke out in 3 groups of three with two girls and one adult on each side.  We found lots of weird trash.  I took pictures. After we finished, we headed back to the Lodge where we found the Girls doing a little scrapbook.  My Nana and I went the very next day and printed out the pictures.  It was a nice day to pick up trash and it was Earth Day!

On April 22nd, Dalanie, Isabella, Maribelle, Alyssa, Gigi, Sami, Katie, Kate Jazmyn, Joella and I helped with delivering a huge meal to the local fire station.  When we got there, there were only two firefighters at the station.  But as time passed, more arrived.  The Girls and I had to carry a lot of food up two flights of stairs.  Of course, as soon as we got to the station, Jazmyn and I were extremely curious as to the whereabouts of the fire pole.   Eventually one of the firefighters showed it to us.  As soon as I saw it, I knew that it was going to be the highlight of my day!  We took a lot of great pictures and I couldn’t believe how much fun I had that day. We then took one last picture with the firefighters and the day was over.

On April 22nd, I was in charge of organizing the Fire Station Meal to provide the firefighters with a meal as a way of saying thanks for all that they do for the community. We arrived at the Lodge at noon and gathered all the food that everyone donated.  Most of it was just repackaged to be sent over and there were five of us working in the kitchen while the rest of the Girls worked on the Adopt-a-Spot event scheduled for the same time.  The girls working in the kitchen were:  Kate, Dalanie, Maribel, Gigi and me.  Once we were done with what we could do, we worked on the Assembly scrapbook until the pasta was all cooked, and then we delivered the meal to the firefighters. We got to go in and deliver the meal to their kitchen which is upstairs in the firehouse.  I was surprised at the security in place.  We were able to see the pole that they slide down in emergencies and we got a picture in front of the fire station with some of the firefighters.  They invited us back to get a full tour at a later date so we could see everything that they do, and I hope that we can go sometime since it looks like a lot of fun.

On Thursday, April 19th, Manassas Assembly had 5 Girls and 3 Advisors attend Fairfax Assembly’s meeting.  We were asked to help fill some stations so Katie served as WAA, Vanessa as Charity, Dalanie as Hope, Gigi as Faith and I filled in as Chaplain. Lorkin did a great job serving as WA for the meeting.  Paige, their Drill Leader, did a fine job with the introductions!

I am glad we were able to attend and help our Sister Assembly out!  We hope they can come visit us at one of our meetings soon.
