Every year as hundreds of Rainbow Girls and their adult advisors flock to Grand Assembly, there are Past Grand Officers who are going for their reunions. Some of these fabulous ladies live locally and are still very involved as advisory board members or parents of Rainbow Girls, while others fly from afar or take time away from their busy work or college schedules to reconnect with their Grand Officer sisters they shared a Grand year with. This year is no exception, and we’d like to take some time to list all of our amazing reunions happening this year!

The very first Grand Assembly was held in 1931, and these lovely ladies would be having their 85 year reunion! This Grand Assembly was held with
24 Assemblies in the State. Richmond Assembly was the largest with 211 active members. It was held at the Golden Gate Commandry Building in San Francisco, March 20 to 21, 1931.  Mrs. Eva Kelly, Mother Advisor of Placerville gave the welcome to the new candidates. The Grand Worthy Advisor was Frances Rundall (Gregg) from Petaluma Assembly.

Following is a list of Grand Officer reunion years and a little information about their Grand Assemblies;
