Mother's Day Lunch May 11, 2026

 Dear Seniors & Friends,

Today we celebrated Mother's Day at the Senior Center of Rainier.  Kathy Eide decorated the tables and made treats for a dessert bar.  Cherri Crafton helped Kathy decorate after The Well Rainier Church service on Sunday.  Cherri also bought geranium plants to give to mothers.

Anticipating a crowd for lunch.  The decorations are out.  The kitchen staff is preparing lunch. George, Vaughn and I are putting out the food for our mini-foodbank.  Kevin and Diane Pettit picked up food from the Grocery Outlet Store in Yelm and put it out a little later on.  Daniel Bryan picked up cookies from a different food bank and put them out on the food bank shelves.

We had our mini-food bank, which served dozens of people today.  We also had several "to go" meals.  

The Chicken Cordon Bleu was purchased from Sysco Foods.  It was delicious!  

Holidays are special times at the Senior Center.  

Everyone works hard to get everything ready to celebrate.  

Thank you all for your hard work and contributions!
