Honorary member of the Linda Weir-Enegren Society is Margaret Shook. She is a living example of Rainbows’ mission and honors the legacy that Linda laid the foundation for more than four decades ago. Margaret has been involved with Rainbows since 1978 when her son Brandon started school with Rainbows. She has presided over more than 35 Blarney Breakfasts – securing sponsorships, volunteers and donations for the event – not to mention serving countless cups of coffee and pancakes! She also laid the foundation for Fashion Passion through her relationships at Bradley Fair. There is rarely a day that goes by she isn’t asking for a donation or recruiting a volunteer for Rainbows.
