RAINBOW DIVISION VETERANS AUXILIARY

At the Annual Reunion in Los Angeles in 1932, the women of the Rainbow approved the formation of a national Auxiliary. After WW II ended, the WW I women were still the mainstay of the Auxiliary and they welcomed the wives of WW II Veterans. State chapters, both Association and Auxiliary, organized by WW I veterans and wives, have been augmented by the addition of WW II unit chapters and regional chapters.

The members of the National Auxiliary voted in the Annual Auxiliary Business meeting held during the annual reunion in Memphis, July 2004, to publish one National Auxiliary BULLETIN at the beginning of the 2004/2005 Rainbow year. This communication will be supplemented by an "Auxiliary" news offering in subsequent issues of the RDV Memorial Foundation Rainbow Reveille, beginning with the November issue.

The one issue of the BULLETIN will contain annual reunion officers' reports, the President's Message, Past President's Message, and communications from Chapter Secretaries. The length of the BULLETIN was determined to be three and one half pages which would be a double sized sheet.
