Christmas Shoeboxes for Kids

Dear Seniors & Friends, Our members are taking part in the Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child program again this year. For those who wish to participate: You will find the shoeboxes to fill at the Senior Center of Rainier. We have some gifts set aside for children that can be put in these boxes, or you can fill your a box, or donate towards this program. These boxes can be for a boy or a girl. Linda

making this a successful event.

We had a lot of help with the Bluegrass event, too.  

A special "Thank you" to all of the Volunteers from:

1. the Rainier Marching Band and Band Booster Club for providing a Burger Den 
2. Senior Center of Rainier 
3. We Love Rainier WA  
4. The Rainier Community Gardens 
5. The Well Rainier.
6. Rainier Public Works Crew
7. David Wuller and Crew
   
8. The City of Rainier WA
9. Valley Heart Church for their Bake Sale

The Bluegrass Festival wouldn't have happened without everyone's help.

Have a great day!  (

All the best,

Linda
