Piece Workers Wanted in Rainier Area

A couple of the women who come to the Rainier Senior Center work for the company below. They're looking for more people to do piece work.  If you're interested, you can contact them.  (Information is below.)  They make money putting cat nip into hand made toys that are sold online.  They do their work while they watch TV in the evening and can easily make $200 - $300 a month.  Nice pin money.
