Rainbow is a non-profit organization that strives to give girls tools, training and encouragement to improve themselves, become better leaders and public speakers. Copper Rose Rainbow Assembly, which meets at the Silver City Lodge Hall, the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month, was chartered three years ago, and is open to girls ages 11 to 20 years of age and offers a little sisters group called "Pledge" open to girls age 6 to 10 years of age.
