By Kylie B., Grand Patriotism & Representative to IA/MO

Hey California Rainbow! I’m Kylie B.G your Grand Patriotism and Representative to Iowa and Missouri for Grand Assembly 2023. Have you ever wondered what a Grand Bow Officer does? Let me tell you! Outside of Grand Assembly, many Grand Officers travel. Whether that be locally or out of state. As a Grand Officer, you also learn new skills and improve the ones you already have. Such as leadership, teamwork, communication, and how to be a good role model. It’s also a good idea to learn about your representative states! A cool fact I’ve learned about Iowa is it’s the only state bordered by two navigable rivers; the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. A fun fact about Missouri is The Gateway Arch in St. Louis is the tallest man-made national monument in the United States. As a bow office at Grand Assembly, such as Patriotism, our most important job is to memorize and perfect our Initiation lecture. Another responsibility we have is to talk about Rainbow in our representative states. After a year of getting to know Rainbow in these states, I’d say there are some pretty cool differences from what we know in California Rainbow.
