	This year's GWA pin sells for $3.00, and it is pictured to the left. All members and all of our Fraternal Sponsors are encouraged to wear this pin. The t-shirts may be purchased for $10 (S - XL) and $12 (XXL - 3XL), and they are available in three colors: bright orange, Rainbow blue and lime green. We hope to see everyone wearing these on all Rainbow trips and at local meetings, projects and events.
Our Tennessee Mascot - Dapper Duck
	Our mascot this year is a very Dapper Duck. Girls and adults are encouraged to bring him to each Official Visit. Please don't forget that our mascot is great to travel with us, but he must not interfere with our meetings. Give him a name and dress him up; he likes to look spiffy. He can reunite with the rest of his friends in the duck pond for a fashion show at Grand Assembly. The mascot will be available to purchase at each of our Official Visits for $10.
"Walking with the Children"
	This year we will be raising money for the Shriners Burn Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Shriners' Hospitals for Children specializing in burns have been leaders in pediatric burn care since opening in the 1960s. Patients receive treatment for burn injuries and related scarring, along with physical rehabilitation and emotional support. All Assemblies are asked to have a fundraiser for this worthwhile project. All donations are due to Mom Fortenberry and a report to Mrs. Jean Pierce by May 25.
"Honoring Those Who Walk with Us in Our Daily Lives"
	We should always remember our sponsoring bodies for if it was not for them, we would not have our meeting places or the outstanding adults who help us do our work. Our U.S. Military and Police and Fire Departments in our areas keep us safe at home, and our teachers and school administrators help us get ready for life. There are many things we can do to honor all of these heroes. This is a two-part project to honor our Masonic sponsors and to do something for the other heros in our lives. Each Assembly should submit a report to Mrs. Glenda Landrum by May 25.
"No One Should Walk Alone"
	All Assemblies are asked to collect new and gently used shoes, new socks or anything that can help someone stay warm or dress for a job interview. These items should be donated to a homeless shelter in your area. A report of your accomplishments is due to Mrs. Ruby Brown by May 25.
"All Creatures Great and Small"
	There are many ways that we can help the animals of the earth. Take time to locate an animal shelter in your area. Help them gather donations or help at a pet adoption day. Even zoos and wildlife refuge agencies may have ways that you can help. Create a collage of the way you participated in helping the animals and bring your collage with you to Grand Assembly to be displayed and judged.
