Grand Assembly 2009

Color Your World

A Message from Katie . . .

Well I have certainly been on the move!! After completing one-third of my time as Grand Worthy Advisor, I have travelled nearly 8,000 miles representing Pennsylvania Rainbow at every turn.

One of the most exciting parts of my year is the introduction of All-Family Gatherings. The first one I attended was in Williamsport with Katie Campbell, Grand Chaplain, and Emily Radosevic, Grand Flag Bearer. We had a great time and gave an awesome performance of our ceremony! Meeting so many new people from Eastern Star and Masons and Lycoming Chapter DeMolay was a great experience that I will always remember. The second All-Family Gathering was in Altoona. Rainbow again did a fabulous job; I’m always so proud of the Grand Officers! I can’t wait for the other gatherings--coming to an area near you SOON!

Probably the most rewarding event taking place in November will be the initiation in Vandergrift. Vandergrift has been an inactive assembly for a number of years. But on November 15th several Rainbow Girls are joining together to initiate new members into this assembly! With Vandergrift getting started again, it is also a great time to announce that Altoona is working on starting an assembly in the area!!

I hope you are all looking forward to the Official Visits, the Patton Weekends, and the many other activities headed your way!

Have a great Thanksgiving, and I’ll talk to you again in December!!

In Rainbow Love,
Katie Burkett
