Dedication
Rainbow has a real place in my heart. Rainbow has given me role models, life skills and a home away from home. I have 9 years of wonderful memories and friendships that I know will last forever. These, of course, come from the girls and adults throughout our Grand Assembly, and cannot be pinned to a particular group. I was initiated at Grand Assembly, and received hugs and welcome from all of Alaska Rainbow. At times I felt like quitting, there were people around the state who encouraged me to continue. Alaska Rainbow also provided a stage for me to inspire and lead. I would not be here today, if it was not for every person who is sitting in this room.
My Rainbow career has been deeply impressed with the fact that Rainbow is for Girls. I strongly believe that our adults help us out in every way possible and it is very much appreciated, but that all accolades should be reserved for the girls; therefore, I would like to dedicate this 44th Rockin' at the Diner Session to all Alaska Rainbow girls, in the hope that they will continue to laugh together, cry together, hug, dance and stay up all night, laugh, lead and follow, but most importantly inspire, in the many years to come.
