Supreme Assembly

By Kassie

Supreme Assembly was good.  Chloe, Ashley and I all brought swaps and had fun meeting our Rainbow Sisters from all over the United States.  Chloe and I were lucky enough to have our room beside the rooms of the Massachusetts group.  We also had people from New Jersey at our hotel, and we got to talk to them at breakfast.  The Supreme song was Try Everything, from Zootopia.  On Tuesday we had a Taco Tuesday lunch theme, with tacos, quesadillas, and chocolate covered churros.  Chloe and I were lucky enough to get seats with Libbie and Rachel, and the PGWA of Colorado.  Also on Tuesday we had three girls from different jurisdictions initiated.  We also got to meet Vicky, a former Smithfield girl, who moved to Florida nine years ago.  The Cavalcade of Flags on Tuesday was awesome.  On Wednesday we saw the new Supreme Worthy Advisor installed and Mom J was installed as Supreme Love.  We also celebrated Zoey’s and Mom Gansler’s birthdays.

On Monday, July 30th, Supreme Assembly began in the Hampton Coliseum. Before the start of session, Hampton and Manassas girls walked around welcoming Rainbow girls to Hampton and exchanging swap gifts. The Supreme Officers preformed their walk-in for the first time and everyone in the audience clapped along, sparking a trend for the rest of the time we spent there. The opening, although similar, was not the traditional opening our Rainbow meetings have. It focused more on the higher level of Rainbow and was very interesting to hear. The Supreme Officers talked with such grace and beauty. It was an amazing experience to watch. Seeing girls do such an awesome job reciting ritual was inspiring and it made me (along with everyone else I’m sure) wish they were Supreme Officers too! The Supreme choir did a lovely job singing and filled the room with harmony. There were an overwhelming amount of PGWAs as well as GWAs who introduced themselves this day and it was an honor to have so many present. Flag bearers gave tributes and presented our sponsoring bodies’ flags and jurisdiction flags with confidence. There were introductions and speeches from many people and the session was called to rest. Afterward, Virginia Rainbow and honored dignitaries gathered in the convention center to enjoy a reception of appetizers and Good Company.

On Sunday, July 29, 2018, Hampton Assembly started off Supreme Assembly by attending the “Be a pineapple” Supreme Banquet. We were lucky to be near the front and had a great view of the Supreme Officers, Acting Supreme Officers, and Supreme Pages as they were introduced. The dinner was delicious! We had chicken and, of course, green beans. There were also different dessert dishes and everyone said they tasted amazing. The banquet was showered in music by the Norfolk Public Schools and many of the guests could recognize the tune and hum along. There was also a huge poster going around where you could stick your face through the hole in the center and pose for a photo as a pineapple. Guests mingled and after it ended, Virginia DeMolay helped DJ a very fun dance. I’m so happy we had this event to end the night. I was able to meet many new friends and party with my Rainbow sisters from around the world. During this time, out of state girls also got a taste of Virginia by seeing some of our various dances like the biker shuffle. Many girls tried to learn and participate but everyone ended up having a great time!
