Message from our first GWA, Mary
"This year is the 50th anniversary of Rainbow Grand Assembly of Alaska.  I hope that you will save your pennies and plan ahead to attend.  I’ll be there along with others of of that first great meeting of Alaskans and visitors which took place in 1963 in Anchorage.  Our colors were dark blue and gold, the Alaska Flag colors.  The theme was “”New Horizons on a Golden Shore.”
    Recently I again experienced the continuing fellowship of Rainbow Girls.  The experience was an affirmation of why Rainbow and its teachings and friendships have meant so much to me in the 56 years that I have been involved.  I hope that you will continue in the Rainbow path and literally let it lead and inspire you your entire life.
    God Bless all of you.
    In Rainbow Love and Affection

Since this year is Alaska Rainbow Girls 50th anniversary, the GWA challenge is for 50 Alaska girls to attend Grand Assembly in 2012. We have a total of 50 girls throughout the state, this means that either every girl will be attending Grand Assembly or new girls should be initiated into the wonderful world of Rainbow! Prizes will be awarded to the assembly who has every member attend and to the assembly who has initiated the most members. GWA Summer will be keeping in contact with Mother Advisors to find out who’s keeping up with the challenge!

We will be showcasing girls’ talent once more. If you have a talent who would like to share at Grand, please contact GWA Summer or your Mother Advisor. Let them know what your talent will be and if you need anything special such as a music stand, mics, etc.
