At the meeting, the girls honored Boston White, Grand Worthy Advisor, their girl leader on the state level. In addition, they were pleased to also host Mrs. JoAnn Weaver, Supreme Deputy in Texas (adult leader on the state level), and her husband, Bruce (Grand Executive Committee). The Rainbow Girls performed a delightful honor program based on the “Wizard of Oz” theme. During the program, they presented Boston with seven carnations that were dyed the seven colors of the Rainbow and a “love” gift.
