What We Do
What We Do
Service
Our first priority is to have fun, all while helping those around us in order to better our community and the world as a whole. Every year, our State President (Grand Worthy Advisor) chooses a statewide service project. It is usually an organization or cause that is close to her heart. Then Oregon Rainbow spends a year raising money for this organization. At the end of our year, we present the money to the organization at our annual state convention.
We plan and carry out all sorts of fun events in order to make the money that we donate. In the past, girls all around the state of Oregon have held bake sales, washed cars, and scooped ice cream at local fairs. You name it, and we’ve probably done it, but we are always looking for new and exciting ways to raise awareness for our cause and organization.
Leadership
The greatest thing about helping others is that you are participating in these activities with girls your own age who share the same interests as you. So you are making lifelong friendships, all while supporting a worthwhile cause.
We help our Masonic family by serving at their stated meeting dinners, attending other youth events, and performing our memorization work to perfection.
We also have two monthly meetings, where we take sign-ups for upcoming events, plan fun activities, and make decisions about matters in the assembly. These meetings give both girls and adults an opportunity to get together and take care of matters that are important to running a successful assembly.
Sisterhood
We play just as hard as we work. The girls enjoy going to the beach, having movie nights, and ice cream socials. We use these activities to introduce prospective members to the girls of the assembly and show them just how much fun we all have together.
If you have ever wanted to travel the state or to different countries, we look forward to you joining us on one of our many road trips. Assemblies all across the state travel hundreds of miles a year to visit other assemblies and out-of-state Rainbow Girls. We most frequently visit Nevada, Washington, Idaho, Alaska and Montana. We have had girls who have traveled to Aruba.
This organization will help you to develop skills that will become useful as you grow up: leadership skills, public speaking, self-respect, and a whole lot of confidence. The best part is you will be having so much fun that you won’t even realize you have built these skills until one day when you need to use them.
