Rainbow Girls press release

The Gun Barrel City Masonic Youth Rainbow Girls held a carnival-themed Membership Rush Party on Saturday, September 17. Four prospects and their parents and siblings attended. The event started out at 10 a.m. with an Open Rainbow/Pledge Meeting, followed by an enlightening question and answer time. Everyone then adjourned for a delicious nacho lunch with fruit kabobs and cake during which the Assembly accepted four applications for membership into Rainbow and Pledge. While the guests took a short break, the dining hall was transformed into a Carnival. In the afternoon, everyone enjoyed face painting, balloons, and games such as duck pond, ring toss, bean bag toss, sucker pull, pin the nose on the clown, and cake walk, as well as popcorn, cotton candy, and sno-cones!

Rainbow Girls participate in a wide array of activities, including leadership training, service projects, competitions, and annual retreats.
