The number one thing that has kept Rainbow running strong for almost 100 years is the sisterhood that we share. To celebrate our sisterhood in Colorado we have a “Sister of the Year” award presented at Grand Assembly every year. In the past, the “Sister of the Year” had to be an older girl that was nominated by a younger girl who looked up to her.
The Grand Executive Committee has realized that we are a lucky jurisdiction filled with girls of all ages who are role models and represent Rainbow and its teachings proudly. So, moving forward, ANY active member can nominate ANY of her active Rainbow sisters to receive this distinguished honor. I know we are all surrounded by girls who we look up to, who spread their love of service and set a wonderful example for all her Rainbow Sisters!
Regardless of your age or the age of the girl that you’re probably already thinking of, we want YOU to have the opportunity to recognize them and earn a cash prize! As the nominator, you will receive a $50 award if your nominee is chosen, and she will be awarded $100! Both of you will be presented and recognized at the Grand Assembly! The nominator and nominee do not have to be from the same Assembly, and the nominee cannot be a previous year’s winner. Only one girl will be named the “Sister of the Year”, and if you want it to be your friend, then all you must do is write an essay telling us why she deserves this honor! Any questions or submissions should be sent via email to the Grand Deputy Angela DeSautell, momangela21@gmail.com
