First, a lot of thanks are due to the many individuals it took to pull off this wonderful Grand Assembly, special kudos to Rose Assembly and the Jr. State Executive Committee! It was truly done beautifully!
Wow! Where do I even begin? What an amazing weekend! Columbus Assembly had a Grand Assembly to remember!

All our girls presented a beautiful Memorial Service. Shout out to the girls that joined us from Jonesboro, Hope, Friendship, and Charity! We couldn’t have done it without you!

To say we are excited is such an understatement! We are thrilled!!! We are looking forward to enjoying Natalie’s year as we discover the “A Gem Within” and loaning her our Mom Christina for a bit! And are we ready to get to work to support Tori in this new adventure!

I have to add that as proud as I am of all the awards, beautiful ritual/floor work, and participation in the competitions, what I am most proud of is the sisterhood I witnessed among our girls this weekend. The way they supported, reassured each other, and celebrated together was inspiring. I am honored to be a part of something so special.

I must include a very heart felt thank you to all our moms and dads that assisted to feed (Mom Janet for the win), pack up cars, and get our girls where they needed to be all weekend! You make it possible for these girls to have these experiences. Thank you!

With Love,
Mom Leigh Knight

Grand Assembly 2023 day 1 was a blast!

Congratulations to our Josie on being crowned as Miss Immortality, as part of the Miss Rainbow Service Court! We had a blast celebrating last night! We also want to say we are very proud of our girls that competed in Ritualistic Competition this year!

We had a busy weekend! We started early Saturday morning unloading trucks at Wreaths Across America, Fort Mitchell National Cemetery. They had a beautiful ceremony and we helped to lay the over 10,000 wreaths they have this year! We really love being part of this tradition to honor our veterans. Later we made cookies for the fire station and got started on our scrapbook.Today we celebrated Christmas with our families, played some fun games, celebrated Lilly's birthday, and had our gift exchange. It was a great weekend of service and fun!

We are so excited to welcome Brookelin! Huge thanks to Savannah Assembly for coming to help!!

All Aboard! Dinner in Little Rock, AR!
