The Gun Barrel City Masonic Youth Rainbow Girls attended their state conference in Waco June 26-29. The Gun Barrel City Assembly was recognized for being an Exemplary Vanguard Assembly, having no loss in membership, participating in Boxtops and Labels for Education, supporting the Scottish Rite Hospital as the State Charity Project, and for their many hours of service.
Carrie Currey was recognized for her 6-year membership in Rainbow, Tara Trimmins for 4 years, and Michelle Sanderford for her 3 year membership in Rainbow. Carrie and Shelby McGallian earned their proficiency certificates, and Samantha Ramos competed in the Ritualistic Competition.
The Assembly was delighted when it was announced that Carrie was appointed as Grand Representative to Montana/Nebraska. In addition, the girls participated at the sessions as pages and guards and sang in the choir. The girls were also treated to an evening at the Hawaiian Falls Water Park in Waco.
