Does being involved with Rainbow cost money?
Yes, but not a lot! There are the yearly dues (currently $15 for Holden), and there is a small fee when you submit your petition (to cover supplies, paperwork, etc.) for Initiation. For meetings, you have to wear a white gown, but it need not be either expensive or brand new. Also, many Assemblies, including Holden, have a “dress closet” where there are hand-me-down formals that other girls in the Assembly have outgrown and have passed them on to others. Other things, like Rainbow Camp, Grand Assembly, or fun trips do cost money. Often, there are fund raisers that girls and their families participate in to help defray the cost.
