SUPREME SERVICE PROJECTS

Purses of Empowerment is a service project of our Supreme Worthy Advisor, Kay Letterman that ran through July 31, 2023. Last call for any remaining items you might have, especially purses – bring them to the Masonic Picnic on August 13.
The new service project kicked off on August 1st with Care Packages to First Responders. Each assembly is being asked to create and deliver care packages to our first responders as a way to honor, show appreciation for, and remember our first responders who help each of us in so many ways. Be sure to take a photograph and share your thoughtfulness with others. Care bags might include a bottle of water, prepackaged cookies, fruit cups, etc. Use your creativity. Participate as many times as you would like, but please keep track of how many “care packages” are delivered each time. Miss Kay is looking forward to hearing about all of the outstanding service that our Rainbow Girls will be doing to help others!
