Every day, in cemeteries all across America, another Veteran is laid to rest. Taps is played and rifle volleys are fired. A flag is gently folded and presented to a grieving family member in recognition and thanks for the Veteran’s service. We want to honor not only those Veterans, but also remember the sacrifice and service of those who no longer have family members who visit their grave sites to remember them and thank them for their service.

We hope that you will join with us to REMEMBER, and thereby HONOR those veterans.

For only $15, you can honor one of those veterans. We hope that you will help, at whatever level you can, to make this campaign successful.

Last Saturday, October 1st, Springfield Assembly, led by WA Hailey, volunteered their weekend to help clean-up a segment of Accotink Creek by Fullerton Road. The clean-up was part of an effort by “Friends of Accotink.” In spite of the rain and high water preventing them from a total clean-up, the girls gathered an amazing array of debris including a shopping cart and bottles. Others present were Sisters Triska and Jeanne as well as Mom Rose, Mom Edna, and Dad Harold.

Dear Virginia Rainbow,

On behalf of Mrs. Fe Suaco, Member of the House of Gold and new Mother Advisor of Springfield Assembly LT, I extend my sincere thank you to all of you who helped in any way with the Institution, Initiation, and Installation of Springfield Assembly LT last Sunday. This significant occasion was made possible because of all of Virginia Rainbow and our Sponsoring Orders pulling together as a Masonic Family. This includes all those who attended during a holiday weekend!

The Grand Assembly of Pennsylvania donated the pedestals and signet: the Grand Assembly of Florida donated the Pot of Gold and its contents. We thank them in their effort of help Rainbow grow. Thank you to Fairfax Assembly for loaning the weights for the ribbons. That was a great help.

The Instituting Team did a beautiful job, as did the Installing Officers, who were very impressive.

Many thanks to the Grand Officers who participated in the Initiation ceremony. You did an outstanding job with your new Grand Offices! We hope you know how special you are!

Nellie Custis Chapter and Springfield Lodge served wonderful food for the event, and we all certainly enjoyed the fellowship. The Advisory Board of the Assembly has done a terrific job in organizing and sponsoring the girls.

There are certainly many others who deserve a round of applause. Most of all, we would like to thank the 14 new Rainbow Girls who have begun their Rainbow journey. Thank you for joining our ranks and for getting your Assembly off to a successful start. Misha, you did a fantastic job presiding at your installation, and we know you will have a productive term of office.

In Rainbow Love and Service,
Mom J
