Black Friday Holiday Bazaar

 

Black Friday Sale & Correction

 Dear Seniors & Friends,

The GRINCH has moved to the Senior Center of Rainier!  Whoo Hoo!  Crocheted items, blankets, food, wood items and more!!!  Come to our special Unique Boutique SALE! 

There will be a "Black Friday Sale" at the Senior Center of Rainier on Friday, November 29th.

Kevin Pettit is managing this sale.  Anyone who'd like to be a vendor, or has any questions about this sale can call Kevin at:  (561) 313-1167.

They will be selling a wide variety of holiday gifts and handcrafted items.  

CORRECTION:  This is not the sale for the elementary school kids.  My apologies. That sale will be in December.  You can contact Rachele Stephenson for information on that sale where everything is under $10.00 for the kids.  

New Sign for the Senior Center of Rainier

 Several people requested a new sign for the Senior Center.  We looked into having one made by a local company, but simply couldn't afford it, so I designed one on Canva. This is the program I use to make our lunch menus.

I researched companies that print signs for a couple of weeks.  I found a great place to work with called SquareSigns: https://www.squaresigns.com/  They make aluminum signs with UV protection and would put a reflective coating on the sign.  It cost more that a corrugated plastic sign, yet it will last us for decades.  Once I got approval from our Board of Directors I ordered the signs.  

The signs arrived on Monday.  We unpacked them and sent the picture below to Kevin Pettit.

Kevin called us Tuesday.  He was ready to replace our signs.  We met him and his wife, Diane at the Senior Center.  Then we went across the street and helped install the new signs.

George and I went to Jerry's Color store in Yelm and he picked out the paint for the signs. 

First we prepped, taped and primed the sign on both sides. 

Then we went back to the Senior Center while the primer dried for a couple of hours.

Once we were done with our meeting at the Senior Center, we painted the frame dark green.

This is the color that George picked out.  I think it looks great!  

After the paint dried we pulled the painter's tape off of the sign.

This sign should last the Senior Center many years.  We still need to dig around one of the posts and secure it with the foam stuff for posts, and install the solar lights on top.

Thank you to everyone who helped us with the new signs!

Dear Seniors & Friends,  

We received a grant from Timberland Bank to purchase and replace the 2 toilets in our restrooms.

We bought the new toilets at Costco in Tumwater Friday morning.  Kevin and Diane Pettit removed the old toilets and installed the new ones Friday afternoon.  They are elongated and have soft close seats.  What a wonderful transformation!

When Kevin removed the old toilets, he noticed that the gaskets were worn out.  We were lucky we didn't have any leaks!  

We are all grateful and appreciative to the Yelm Timberland Bank for funding this project for the Senior Center of Rainier!  

Thank you Timberland Bank!!!
