HOLDERNESS — Squam Lakes Natural Science Center recently received a donation from the Grand Assembly of NH Order of Rainbow Girls, resulting from a yearlong effort led by Jaeda Bastien. The Rainbow Girls raised funds through creative and dedicated activities, hosting an “Enchanted Forest” ball, selling commemorative pins and T-shirts, and raffling baskets at their state convention.
Bastien, along with fellow members, selected the Science Center as their annual focus out of a desire to give back to a place dedicated to connecting people with nature and conservation. Throughout the year, the group not only raised support but also rolled up their sleeves as volunteers, helping pull invasive weeds from the campus. Additionally, Bastien and other Rainbow Girls made presentations at assemblies to raise awareness for the Science Center’s mission.
“We are deeply grateful to Jaeda and the Grand Assembly of NH Order of Rainbow Girls for their generosity, creativity, and hands-on help,” said Executive Director of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center Iain MacLeod. “Their commitment is a wonderful example of youth leadership and community spirit making a real impact.”
