Friendships are some of the great benefits 
of becoming a Rainbow Girl!

Membership in the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls is open
to girls between the ages of 11 and 20.
Assemblies are sponsored by Masonic Lodges, Eastern Star Chapters and Amaranth Courts.

How to join
Petitions for Membership may be submitted by girls between the ages of 11 and 19 who are friends of Rainbow Girls, daughters of Master Masons, Eastern Stars, members of the Amaranth, or recommended by any of these sponsors.
No application for membership shall be denied on the grounds of race, creed, color, or national origin.
Contact the Mother Advisor or Grand Deputy closest to your home for a petition or
the Grand Web Master who will forward your request to the appropriate assembly.

A Message from Ginny
Hello everyone,

Illinois Ritual Competition needs your help!  It may be time for some updates, changes and new ideas for our state competition.  As past participants, adult advisors and/or parents of Rainbow Girls, your thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated as we plan this year's events.

What do you like about ritual competition, both team and individual?  
What don't you like?
What should we think about changing?  
What should stay the same?

Please email me your thoughts ASAP to ginny@sneakypockets.com.  
I greatly appreciate your help!

In Rainbow service,

Ginny Wehrli-Hemmeter
Ritual Competition Director
