Twelve chapters decorated the tables for Friday night's opening Moss Rally. Following the presentation of colors from Eagle and Life Scouts from Troop 241 in Charlottesville and a light supper, attendees worked in pairs to learn about each other and create a paper quilt square representing themselves.
