Rainbow Girls Week

The Ashland Rainbow Girls will celebrate their annual “Rainbow Birthday” on Friday, April 6 and will hold various events all week as a part of the celebration.

The Rainbow Girls organization is a Masonic Youth Organization which provides young girls the opportunity to enjoy activities, participate in community service projects and travel.

“Not all of the girls in our community participate in sports activities and Rainbow Girls gives a number of girls the chance to be a part of an active, fun group,” said coordinator Brenda Austin.

Rainbow Girls, a national organization, is for girls ages 11-20-years of age. Rainbow Pledges, for girls who will later participate in the older group is for girls 6-10-years of age.

Locally the group has participated in working with the Buddy Pack program and at the Central Missouri Food Bank, working at the Humane Society on community service projects as well as fun activities such as bowling, ice skating and more. Other past activities have included presenting the Christmas Homes Tour and a recent Father-Daughter Dance.

Austin said the group is always looking for more girls to join the group – and it is open to all girls.

Next week’s activities include:

Who: Girls age 6-20 interested in making life-long friendships and helping the community
