Nashua Assembly #9

Nashua Assembly #9 initiated 58 members on February 8, 1936. Since then, over 1400 girls have become members and we have just celebrated 70 years of Rainbow in Nashua.

Nashua Assembly #9 continues to keep rolling along...busy as ever! We  successfully accomplished many goals last Grand year: raising money and awareness for the Grand Worthy Advisor's charity, as well as competing and winning awards in many Grand Assembly projects!

This past term, the girls have dedicated their energy to bring in new girls into Nashua #9 by Grand Assembly this year, and they hope to initiate many more by the end of the year!

Nashua Assembly #9 is the proud home to the following Past Grand Worthy Advisors: Marilyn (Blanchard) MacVane (1947), Judith (Sudsbury) Bausha (1960), Donna (Easter) Baker (1969), Laurie Bettencourt (1981), Stacy (Jackson) Desrosiers (1994) Bethany Maynard (2000), Tracey L. (Smith) Thompson (2003), Ashley E. Steele (2007) and Allyson J. Britko (2009). Nashua is also the home of our Supreme Deputy, Mrs. Joan L. Smith.

We meet on the first and third Thursday of each month (except July and August) at 7 pm at the Nashua Masonic Temple.

Pledges & Sparkles
Nashua Assembly #9 has a very active Pledge & Sparkle Group, with over 15 members. They perform the Flag Tribute at Nashua Assembly at the first meeting of each month, and display their talents by performing the Flag Ceremony at Grand Assembly. We are very proud of our Pledges. They travel to the Masonic Home to spend time with the residents there and host and work a Sunday breakfast every third Sunday at the Masonic Temple. They go on fun trips to amusement parks and pizza parlors, watch how to make and bake cookies at a local bakery, and watch demonstrations of karate at a local Karate studio.
