New Roof!!!

 It's been a noisy weekend at the 'ol Senior Center of  Rainier!

The Senior Center of Rainier has a new roof! A special "Thank You" goes out to the West Coast Roofing & Siding LLC crew for doing such a great job on our roof! Thank you to everyone who donated and contributed to help the Senior Center get their new roof!

West Coast Roofing and Siding LLC replaced our roof!  It looks great.  George and I spent all day Thursday and most of the day Friday at the center while the crew worked on the roof.  They did several walk-throughs to pick up odd and end roofing pieces.  Then they took a magnet and picked up all nails and metal debris.

We're pleased with the job the West Coast Roofing & Siding crew did!    

What took us by surprise was the reaction of the Rainier Elementary School Students!

The elementary school kids were watching the crew work on the roof.  The students were so interested that many of their teachers gave them a history lesson about our building.  Many of the students got really excited when they found out our building is over 100 years old!  

 

Oh, to be young and have such enthusiasm for life!  

Everything is new and exciting...like our roof!

New Roof News & Thank You!

 Dear Seniors and Friends,

The Senior Center of Rainier is getting a new roof soon, weather permitting.  It's taken many people a long time and a lot of work to get this far.  We couldn't have done this without the help and commitment of many businesses, groups and individuals.

A special thank you to everyone who's helped contribute to the Senior Center of Rainier!  You put smiles on the faces of our seniors and their families!  Thank you all for everything you do for Rainier and the people who live in the South Sound area.

This last year has been difficult for many people in our community and around the world. The grace, compassion and caring people in Rainier share day in and day out is encouraging!  We are blessed to live here!  

Sincerely,

Linda & George Johnson
