Reunions at Grand Assembly, 2006
5 YEARS *****Radiantly Rambunctious Racoonuion*****
   Can you believe it, are 5 year reunion is slowly approaching. I still can't believe that it has been that long since we had our Grand Assembly. I guess we all have to just accept the fact that we are getting old. j/k
   We are still planning on having a dinner one of the nights at Grand Assembly. More information will be announced at a later date.
   I know we have all been interested in a sweatshirt and yes, we will have some for our reunion. An e-mail will go out to each of you in the near future with request for sizes and to let you know how much they will cost.
   That's all the news for now. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me a note. Talk to you all very soon, Kinsie Flinn PGWAA '01
10 YEARS Hey all you Mischievous Moosekateers it is reunion time, can you believe it has been 10 years? I am starting the initial planning and I need phone numbers and addresses for many of you. Please contact me if you are interested in joining in the fun. I can reached at djsexton.1@netzero.com.

15 YEARS Attention All Tantalizing Tiger Tykes of 1991 – it’s time to get together and check our stripes! I have begun outlining plans for our reunion at Grand Assembly 2006. It sure doesn’t feel like 15 years has passed since Rainbow Went to Hollywood! I hope you are all doing well and I would love to hear from you. Please email me with your current contact information at pkupiec@shermanoakshospital.com (work) or salut88@gmail.com (home).

20 YEARS Dear Dazzling Dragons of 1986!
Yes it has been 20 years! The dresses may have shrunk, the mascots lost a little bit of their flame, and the hairpieces are definitely smaller. However, the friendships and service we rendered will live on forever. Grand Assembly is in April in Fresno. To see everyone of us there would be the most wonderful treasure ever! Please email all current contact addresses and phone numbers to me at: Gwamp86@hotmail.com, marcydemartile@countyofplumas.com, or you can contact me by phone (530) 283-4057. If you have information on any Dragons we haven't seen in a while, please let them know about April!
In Rainbow love and service,
Marcy Perrucci DeMartile

Where has the time gone? 35 years since the” Darling Ducklings” floated the grand Fresno pond. We are once, again, waddling or flying to Fresno to be together. So you have plenty of time to pull out the pink formals, dust off the hair pieces and make plans for Grand Assembly 2006. You should be receiving a “Darling Duckling” newsletter filled with lots of fun info. We have several “lost” ducklings so, please, anyone that remembers the pink and lavender ducklings of 70-71
contact Marlys Martin Perovich PGWA marinpq@san.rr.com

We have “lost ducklings” from the 70-71 Grand Officers. If anyone knows how to get in touch with any of them, please, contact Marlys Martin Perovich PGWA. Thank you!

The 15-year reunion plans are in place and I’ve set up a discussion group for us to make arrangements beforehand. I’ll also be creating a permanent website for our year and would like submissions from everyone. If you’re interested in joining the group and/or contributing to the website, please email me at (address removed by request).   Jenée Spellman, Pennsylvania ‘90

40 YEARS Hi Golden Grandies of 1964-65! We have so many Pink Kittens who are lost and it would be wonderful if they could be found in time to get together for our 40th Reunion in Fresno this March while California Rainbow celebrates its 75th Birthday.

Reunions at Grand Assembly, 2004
5 YEARS Hey Camels!!!
Do you remember when we were first appointed Grand Officers, we distributed copies about who we were, and incorporated pictures, etc? Well, I wanted to do a scrapbook for our five year reunion, that incorporates pictures of weddings, your kids, graduations, etc, just to let the other camels know what you have been up to since Grand Assembly 1999. I would compile personalized scrapbooks to pass out at GA 2004, or mail it to you if you can't make it to GA. I'm hoping to keep costs low, it will probably run between $15 dollars each for printing, materials, etc, and will be distributed at GA, and $20 if you want it mailed to you. It all depends on how many responses and pages and pictures I get from you. I just thought it would be a nice keepsake for us as we go on with our lives. Now let's talk about deadline. In order to have them ready by GA, I would need to have your individual parts in my hands by March 18, 2004. That should give me enough time to compile them and get them ready for distribution. My contact information is below, feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or other suggestions. Thank you and I'm looking forward to seeing all of you at Grand Assembly 2004.

With all my purple prehistoric butterfly princess love,

30 YEARS Calling all Precious Puppies…..Calling all Precious Puppies!
It has almost been 30 years since we floated onto the Grand Assembly in our green print dresses! The very first year to have print Grand Officer dresses. Our Grand Service Project was Operation Green Earth. We worked hard to donate hours to clean up and beautify our environment. And now it is time to celebrate that fabulous year! The sad news is that many of those puppies have wandered away and can’t be found….not even at the Rainbow Pound! So we need your help! If you are a lost puppy or you know of a lost puppy and their location please forward that information to:
Vickie Diem – Fidelity ’73 at vickie.diem1@verizon.net or by mail to Vickie Diem 44791 Corte Hidalgo, Temecula, CA 92592.
