Are you traveling to visit another Jurisdiction?

Here are a couple of reminders:

As we gear up for the upcoming Grand Assembly Sessions in other jurisdictions, it's essential to ensure all necessary arrangements are in place. If you're planning to attend sessions outside our jurisdiction this year, please remember the following:

Complete Out-of-State Permission Form: Before your departure, make sure you fill out the Out-of-State Permission Form. This form is crucial for keeping track of our members and ensuring their safety during travels.
Notify Mom Torrey: Once you've completed the form, kindly send an email to Mom Torrey. This will help us keep track of who is attending which sessions and ensure proper communication and support throughout your trip.

Out-of-State Travel Permission Form

Do you want to go to the "most magical place in Massachusetts" this summer?

Half-Campership Application

We need your help!

The 100th Anniversary Committee needs your help! We're compiling a list of past MA Rainbow girls. We have over 16,000 names, but we need more information to notify everyone about our plans during the 2025 Grand Assembly session to be held at Nichols College in Dudley, mA on June 26-29, 2025.

Please click the link below and fill out the form with your full name (include maiden name, if applicable), Assembly and most importantly - your email address. This is how we'll communicate details for the celebration weekend. Also, please reach out to your Rainbow sisters and friends who may not belong to the Majority Group, so they too can receive the information.

Thank you for helping us make this event a success!
