Thank You for Grants for New Kitchen Vents

 Dear Seniors & Friends,

The Senior Center of Rainier received 2 grants that helped us replace the vent over one stove, which quit working, with 2 new commercial recessed vents.  We now have vents over both kitchen ranges.  

A special "Thank You" to the Community Foundation of South Puget Sound and the Rotary Club of Olympia.  We couldn't have done this without the help of our grants and the contractor who installed our vents.  

The Senior Center of Rainier is a non-profit charity.  We serve lunch on Mondays and Wednesdays.  Soup &/or Salad is served at 11:30 am and lunch at noon.  The cost is $7.00 for members & $9.00 for non-members.

The Senior Center of Rainier opened in 1976.  Moved to it's present location in 1977 and continues to operate with an all-volunteer staff (100%).  We do all of this with an annual income that is below $35,000, including the grants we receive.

The grants we receive help us get the equipment and make the improvements that keep our volunteers and members.  We couldn't do this without everyone's cooperation and support.

Thank you ALL!
