Final Day on Board of Directors May 31, 2025
Today is my last day on the Senior Center Board of Directors.
It has been an honor serving you over the years. I appreciate
your gifts. It was touching and totally unexpected. The cake
was scrumptious. The flowers are beautiful and I enjoyed reading
my card.
The Senior Center of Rainier will always hold a special place in my heart.
You will still see me at the Senior Center and I will help whenever I can.
Thank you again
Respectfully,
Linda

Brandy Taylor - Licensed Vet Tech Home Visits
Brandy Taylor comes to our home to clip our dog's nails. Our dog wouldn't let us clip her nails. She lets Brandy cut her nails without any trouble. Then Lucy prances around afterwards. Brandy works with temperamental pets, too. She charges less than the cost of a vet visit and nail trimming.
