Masonic Youth Rainbow Girls celebrate the founding of their organization
Press release
The Gun Barrel City Masonic Youth Rainbow Girls traveled to the Supreme Temple of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls in McAlester, Oklahoma, on Saturday, April 1.
After a tour of the facilities and lunch, the girls witnessed an induction of two new members into Texas Rainbow by the Texas Grand Floor Officers. Afterwards, the girls went over to the Rainbow Reflections Memorial Park to see the resting place of our founder, Rev. W. Mark Sexson. While there, they were surprised and delighted to see so many familiar names on the brick walkway of the park and to watch the ducks on the serene pond from the gazebo. There was a fun event at “Great Balls of Fire” and pizza that evening. Sunday morning, the Texas delegation attended church service together at the McAlester First United Methodist Church.

CCL Amateur (ham) Radio Club meeting scheduled

You see the Czar of our Christmas event, Jeff Irion, allows each winner to have his or her item “stolen” by the next person up. This can get pretty crazy and that’s a good thing.

DAR hears about women veterans
Press release
Bernice Harkins was introduced by Carole Ruska as the speaker at the November meeting of the Sarah Maples Chapter of DAR. Her topic was “Women Veterans.” Bernice is a retired Sergeant First Class with a 25-year service record, so she knows first hand how women were treated in the military. She had trouble with some of the men under her who did not follow orders. She learned real quick that she had to be assertive and be self confident in herself and her judgement. One of her favorite sayings is “Better days are coming” and they have in the military. The women are respected more than when she enlisted. Its changing every day for the better.
