Rainbow Girls press release
The Gun Barrel City Assembly Rainbow Girls hosted state leaders at its meeting on Saturday, May 11, at the Cedar Creek Lake Masonic Lodge.
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. The girls and their guests were then treated to a delicious lunch of chicken salad sandwiches on croissant bread, chips, vegetable trays with dips, fruit trays, juices, and iced tea. After lunch, the Rainbow Girls, their younger Pledge sisters, and guests went bowling.
The Gun Barrel City Rainbow Girls have been invited to participate in the Farm and Ranch Day at the Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas on Saturday, May 18. In nearby Reverchon Park, there will be a picnic lunch, farm animals, a cow milking parlor, birthday hat decorating, face painting, & live entertainment.
As they get ready for Grand Assembly, their state conference being held in Frisco this year (June 20-23), the Rainbow Girls will be very busy preparing for their annual competitions and the chance to greet friends again from all over Texas, the United States, and around the world. They will also be participating in Eastern Star Installations in Gun Barrel City, Athens, and Corsicana. Carrie Currey, member of Gun Barrel City Rainbows and Grand Confidential Observer, will be privileged to perform the “Gavel Ceremony” at the Corsicana Eastern Star Chapter Installation on Saturday, June 1.
Rainbow Girls participate in a wide array of activities, including leadership training, service projects, competitions, and annual retreats. Along the way, they gather invaluable life skills that help them become the best daughter, sister, student, and friend they can be.
