Instructional Surveys!

By Leave a Comment

To all Instructional Attendees: Thank you all so much for your participation at the Instructional!  We continue to learn together through your questions and comments.  We want to especially thank all of our girls and alumni for their crucial input on membership initiatives, their creativity in coming up with new ways to target potential new members, and their openness in sharing with us.  We hope you take what you’ve learned from each other back to your local assemblies and reach out to your friends to join us!  Remember the membership team is here to help you!  As always, we would value your input on ways we can continue to make this event relevant and useful for YOU!  Please complete the survey appropriate to your instructional by following the appropriate link below.  The surveys should be filled out by both girls and adults that attended either Instructional.

Directed with all of our love and appreciation, Mrs. Warren and Miss Rosenthal

Calling all backpacks!

By 3 Comments

A message from Heidi our Grand Worthy Advisor:

ATTENTION: Calling all backpacks!

Hi California Rainbow and friends!  A Place Called Home needs our help! Every year in August, A Place Called Home holds a “Back to School” giveaway where they provide backpacks filled with school supplies to children in the community.  California Rainbow has been asked to help their event by holding a backpack drive.  We will be holding two backpack drives, one at the Southern Instructional (July 16th) and one at the Northern Instructional (July 23rd).  If you are unable to attend either instructional but would still like to donate, please contact the Grand Assembly office at dana.regier@gocarainbow.org. The backpacks are for children to use in the school year so please no drawstring backpacks.

Thank you for helping make a difference in getting children ready for a new school year!

A few additional details…

  • We will be collecting the backpacks at the State Instructionals.  Please bring your donation with you to that event.
  • CAIORG will arrange for the delivery of the backpacks, so please do not send or drop off any at APCH.
  • If you would like to donate additional items like pens/pencils, notebooks, markers, etc. those will be accepted but we are focused on meeting a need for 500 backpacks that APCH has.
  • If you have any questions please email the Grand Assembly office.
