MISS JESSIE R. P. GRAND WORTHY ADVISOR PWA of Georgetown Assembly #98 Acting Supreme Grand Cross Crown Bearer Puerto Rico Flag Bearer Sunday Devotional Presenter Grand Representative to Romania & Puerto Rico (2016-2017) State Flag Bearer (2016-2017) Grand Hope (2017-2018) Grand Patriotism (2018-2019)

A NOTE FROM OUR GRAND WORTHY ADVISOR Hello Massachusetts Rainbow!

As we prepare to shed our leaves and head into a new season of adventures, it is important to recognize those who have sown seeds of kindness and helped us to grow.

To the advisors in Massachusetts, thank you for taking the time to care for our members. In every kind conversation, smile, or act of service, you make an impact on their journey in and outside of Rainbow. You encourage us to branch out and reach new heights, and that has made all the difference.

To the members, majority, and advisors of Georgetown 98, thank you for being my Rainbow roots. Thank you for being patient throughout “kidnapped” breakfasts, movie trips, lodge sleepovers, and more, as I slowly grew in confidence and slowly broke out of the shell of my acorn. Your love for Rainbow and each other will always inspire me.

To our supportive Rainbow parents, and especially my family, thank you for your constant support and encouragement. I would not be where I am in life or in Rainbow without the love and support of my family, and I would like to thank you all for going out on a limb and taking this journey with us.

To the team that worked so hard to branch out into unknown territory for these virtual sessions, thank you for the many hours of service you put in.

The work was not easy and the timeline was condensed, and yet you genuinely gave it your all.

To our assembly members - you are the heart and soul of Rainbow. Thank you for reminding me every day that “little acorns lead to mighty oaks”, because I have seen you grow, and have seen you live out your incredible potential through your love and service. Massachusetts Rainbow would not be the same without the sunshine you bring to each and every event.

To the 2019-2020 Grand Officer and Representative team, thank you for being such incredible leaders during such difficult times. Towards the end of The Lorax, Dr. Seuss writes, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it’s not.” Your passions, voice and actions,

have the potential to change Massachusetts Rainbow and your communities for the better. I know this because I know you.

Thank you all for this journey. For every IHOP trip, dressing room joke, camp prank, Main House chat, affirmation after making it through ritual, and more, you have created a magical Rainbow journey with every memory and heart to heart. While this year had twists and turns we could have never foreseen, I believe that Massachusetts Rainbow will be able to transform, and stretch our branches to new heights of kindness and compassion when we meet again.

In Rainbow Love,

Jessie R. P. Grand Worthy Advisor 2019 – 2020
