Dear Seniors & Friends,

Judie Wang contacted us and asked if we'd provide a safe place to host a free COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic.  We met with her today and scheduled a clinic for

August 16th at 1:00 PM in the front room of the Senior Center of Rainier.

They will administer the first shot of the Pfizer vaccine.  The second shot will be administered 3 weeks from the 16th.  Everyone who needs a vaccination is free to come to the Senior Center to get their "poke".

If you have any questions, please let me know.  Arrangements were made with 

Judie Wang , COVID-19 Special Populations Outreach Coordinator,

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at:  seniorcenterofrainier@gmail.com.

Astronaut Ice Cream Monday!

Monday we will serve bites of "Astronaut Ice Cream" when we open for BINGO!

They will be vanilla ice cream with vanilla cookie dough on the outside.  If you've never tried Astronaut Ice Cream, please feel free to join us for some.  One of our members made this in their freeze dryer.  It's interesting to eat ice cream that's dry and at room temperature.  It's crunchy, too.  If you leave it in your mouth, it will rehydrate and melt.  So it really "melts in your mouth and not in your hands".
