The t-shirts may be purchased for $15 in sizes S-3XL. They are available in two colors: Green and Purple. T-shirts and pins may be purchased at all statewide meetings as well as online at this link: http://nashville-area-rainbow.square.site/

			OUR TENNESSEE MASCOT
			This year's mascot is "Gene, the Frog." Gene loves to travel and looks forward to collect new things and make new friends so bring him with you to all of our Official Visits. This year, the mascot will be sold for $10 at all official visits and statewide meetings and on our online store. http://nashville-area-rainbow.square.site/

			"THE GENEROUS FROG AND THE CHILDREN'S HEARTS"
			We hope that each Assembly will raise money for the Shriners Hospital for Children. They are dedicated to helping children in need, regardless of their ability to pay. After the first of 2026, a statewide fundraising event will be organized by the Grand Officers, and we encourage everyone to attend to support this worthwhile cause. The top 3 Assemblies will be recognized at Grand Assembly. Money collected is to be sent to Mom Rachel and the Assembly reports should be sent to Ms. Karen Lewis by May 15.

			"HOPPIN' WITH HONOR"
			Veterans Day is November 11, a day to honor our military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. It is a way to bring awareness to brave men and women's sacrifices for our country. Our Veterans should be acknowledgd throughout the year, not just on Veterans Day. Find ways to say "Thank you" in your lodge, your community, your church and on national holidays such as personal cards, care packages, attend a Veteran's Day parade, organize a program for your Lodge or Chapter or bake treats to be delivered. Each Assembly should document their participation and send in their report by May 15 to Mrs. Beth Williams and Mrs. Angie Shumate.


			"LEAPIN' FOR A PAWS"
			Every contribution of food, warmth, or toys truly matters and can make a meaningful difference to a furry friend. So we are asking each Assembly to donate supplies, toys, treats or bedding to animal shelters and animal rescues in your area. Send your reports to Mrs. Lela Woodin by May 15.

			"From Tadpoles to Scholars"
			In support of the Adda Dinsmore Educational Scholarship and Loan Fund, we are offering ink pens for $2 each. See Mrs. Alicia Villines or Mrs. Renee Bolden to purchase one. In addition, loose change will be collected at every statewide event by Mrs. Alicia Hicks, Mrs. Brandi Duncan and Mrs. Debbie Parman. The scholarship is available to active Rainbow Girls as well as Rainbow Majority Girls to further their education in any college or technical school.
