Now is time to start thinking about the "Miss Service" award that I will have the honor to present at the 2000 Zany Grand Assembly Sessions. The "Miss Service" award goes to the Rainbow Girl that performs outstanding service in the name of Rainbow. This is a way to give special recognition to California Rainbow Girls who have truly gone "above and beyond." Complete the information below for your nominee. A girl who has less service hours than another, but shows outstanding service may be considered by the girls. This is not recognition only for the most hours, but the special kinds of service given in the name of Rainbow. The guidelines are provided below:

1. The members of the assembly will vote, by SECRET ballot, on which girl in the assembly is most deserving of this honor. The Recorder and her advisor will then count the votes together in silence, and the girl that is selected will be announced during the meeting.
2. The girl chosen by the assembly members will write an essay on what Rainbow Service means to her. She should then sent it to the Area Grand Deputy. The Mother Advisor should send the service hours of the girl chosen to the Area Grand Deputy. The Area Grand Deputy is to remove the name on the essay and assign a number. The Area Grand Deputy and the Grand Deputies from teh area are to read all the numbered essays and choose one, she will be the Area Miss Service representative. The Area Grand Deputy should send the winning girl's name and essay to Mrs. Lind by January 10, 2000.

After all the essays have been received, Mrs. Lind and I will make the final decision on which girls in California are most deserving. One girl will carry the title of "Miss Service 1998" and will be introduced at all Rainbow activities. Two girls will be chosen to serve on the Service Court.

Thank you very much for your support.
