Dear California Rainbow Family, I am very
sad to tell you that Anna Lind passed away this evening. She
died peacefully and without suffering. Their son Steve, daughter
Millie and Bill were all there with her. Mrs. Lind learned very
recently that the lung disease she has been suffering from was indeed
Pulmonary Fibrosis. This disease involves scarring of the lung.
Gradually the air sacs of the lungs become replaced by fibrotic
tissue. Her doctor had prescribed oxygen for several hours per day.
She was managing well and planned to attend the Last OV. However, when
she contracted pneumonia, even with treatment and breathing machines
her condition was not reversible. Memorial Services are pending. Mr. Lind plans to return to California next week. I will notify everyone when plans are finalized. Rainbow Love, Sara Lee Martin Supreme Deputy |
| 12/01/2006 | misc | Hello to all Rainbow Sisters, Past and Present. My name is Tamera Ziegler and I am a Past Worthy Advisor from Flo McDonald Assembly #252 in Downey, California. 'Tis the season to be Happy and Thankful for everything you have. This is just a quick reminder to everyone: Service to your community, family, friends and even strangers is what we are all about. Rainbow was my life and then I was involved in 2 major accidents and I lost the connection to the assembly. I am still supportive and active with some of the Masonic groups and have not heard anything from the Rainbow Girls in this area. Are there any events or fundraisers? If anyone knows please let me know. tzieglerboosmom@yahoo.com. My primary health is good, there are some problems that came with the accidents but like I said “Tis the Season”. I am also proud to announce that my son is going to be 4 years old and is happy and healthy as a clam. He did not inherit any of the medical problems (seizures) that came with the accidents. Hope everything is well and wish everyone a happy and save holiday season. |

Britney Ward, Grand Representative to Iowa/Minnesota/Missouri is in the hospital in Sacramento. She began having breathing problems on Sunday night. She is being treated for Congestive Heart Failure. She also had fluid in her lungs and has a kidney disorder. She was still planning to get out and have her reception on Sunday but the doctors plan to keep her there for 2 or 3 days more so those plans were changed in spite of her enthusiasm. Cards to her home or the hospital would be welcomed. Sutter Memorial Hospital, Room 466, 5151 F Street, Sacramento, CA 95819. The reception will be rescheduled and that date will go out soon. I know she would appreciate prayers and cards from her Rainbow sisters. Please remember that the times for this weekend have been changed from the printed calendar: Saturday September 30th, Ridgecrest Initiation at 1 PM, Official Visit at 2 PM (as printed in the travel schedule in the roster from Grand Assembly), Reception for Angel Sweeney at 7:30 PM. |

| 9/7/2006 | announcement | Hello
Everybody! I have gotten a couple emails from people asking how the Garage Sale and Baja Fresh sale went, and I wanted to respond to those as well as let everyone else know how we did too. We had a great time, on Friday night we all got together to set up and price the items donated for the sale. Thanks, Mr. Parks, for the pizza and sodas as that was a wonderful treat to fuel our hard work. We received so many wonderful donations it took 2 1/2 hours to get everything organized and priced but we sure had fun doing it. The Teletubby costumes were sure the hit of the night and guess what, somebody bought them the next day! On Saturday morning we got there bright and early at 6:30 am to start taking things out and putting up the signs. We sold and we sold until 12:00 pm sharp and the heat started to get to us. We had a lot left over and collectively we decided to pack it up wisely and do another sale before the end of the summer season. All of us worked like crazy and packed boxes and broke down tables and stacked it all nice and neat in one of the closets, in less than an hour. We sure were sweatin' though. A special thank you goes out to Mr. Flick who stuck with us the whole day and Mr. Parks who after helping us get set up, came back and to both for staying until after we were gone. Also, we were able to retire the old, withered, sad looking flag from the Temple's flag pole and erect the new, bright, clean flag that was donated by Mr. Hooper. Thank you! All in all we ended up making nearly $200.00, the exact number will be revealed at the meeting on the 18th. A good amount in my opinion. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU- for all who helped, I have attached the picture I took of the crew. Minus Nicki because she wasn't there yet. For those of you who ate at Baja Fresh and brought the flyer on Saturday, thank you. I will not know how much money we made for a few weeks. My family and I ate dinner there on Saturday night and I know the Woods got dinner to go. We gave flyers to everyone who came to the Garage Sale and many were receptive. No matter how much we made it was worth it. Please mark your calendars to come to our next meeting on September 18th. There will be a wonderful dinner before at 5:30pm, and the meeting will start at 7pm. We will be honoring our new masons and it would be nice to have the sidelines full. Thank you all for your love and support. In all the love I can give, Lindsay Moore, Mother Advisor, Visalia Assembly, IORG |

| 5/19/2006 | passing | Dear
Terrific Teddies, It is with sadness that I pass on to you a message from Sara Lee Martin, Supreme Deputy: Many of you remember Sharon Mosier, Grand Deputy from the San Diego area who died of cancer. You probably also remember her daughter Melissa who was Grand Representative to [Illinois] the Teddy Bear year. Sadly, Melissa and her daughter Kendra were killed in a car accident Saturday outside of El Centro. It seems they had just bought a new puppy and when the puppy made a mess in the car, the driver lost control during the confusion. Her son Ryan survived and is with his father who was divorced from Melissa. Melissa's best friend Leanea from Texas a Majority Member has indicated they are much in need of money for the funerals. If you wish to donate toward this cause, please send your checks made payable to Grand Assembly to the Grand Assembly office. Since the cause is not a 501(c), (3), the money goes through Grand Assembly and not through the Foundation. Vi McCleary and Chula Vista Assembly Rainbow adults are investigating the situation and will let us know more about the finances. Rainbow Love, Sara Lee Mary Kling Stechmann Director of Past Grand Officers |
