Welcome to the Grand Assembly of Maine website! I hope you are enjoying “clicking through the pages” as we share our Grand Assembly and Maine Rainbow. I know that many of you looking at these pages are from Maine but many of you are from other jurisdictions throughout the United States and around the world. For those of you who don’t know me, I would like to introduce myself.

My name is Debbie (Buhelt) Redmond and I began my Rainbow career when I joined Portland Assembly #1 as a shy, quiet 12 year old girl. I served my Assembly as Worthy Advisor three times. I served the Grand Assembly of Maine as Grand Fidelity, Grand Charity, Grand Worthy Associate Advisor and was installed Grand Worthy Advisor in May of 1983 by my sister Denise who had just completed her term as Grand Worthy Advisor in Maine. I was honored to receive the Grand Cross of Color with my dad. I served as Mother Advisor of my home Assembly for several years, a Grand Deputy and a member of the Grand Executive Committee. I was installed the Supreme Deputy in Maine at the Supreme Assembly Sessions in Omaha, Nebraska in 2010. I was elected to the House of Gold at our Supreme Sessions in Hampden, Virginia in 2018 and installed as Supreme Fidelity at our virtual Supreme Sessions in 2020.

I am a member of Deering Chapter #59 Order of the Eastern Star. I have served as Worthy Matron of my Chapter twice and the Grand Chapter of Maine as Grand Adah and Grand Representative to New Jersey.

It is an honor and a privilege to serve the Grand Assembly of Maine in any capacity and the Supreme Assembly as the Inspector in Maine. I look forward to watching the girls grow into the amazing young women they can be through this time honored and amazing organization.

Please enjoy our website—which has been made possible by Marielle Jackson— one of our very supportive Past Grand Worthy Advisors. Should you have questions about Maine Rainbow or our Grand Assembly, please contact me directly at mainerainbow@gmail.com.
