Cookie Exchange 2016

The Rainier Senior Center was filled with bakers & their families for the Annual Christmas Cookie Exchange!  There were dozens of cookies to choose from!  I've never seen so many cookies in one place!  We all got to sample cookies, before we chose the ones we wanted to take home.  The cookies were not only wonderful eye candy - they tasted great, too!

We had a white elephant gift exchange after people picked cookies to take home.  The gift exchange was a lot of fun.  Georgia was the first person to choose a gift.  Her's was stolen 3 different times, so it was frozen.  She ended up with the apron George and I brought to the exchange.  She gave it to her grand daughter, who loves to bake.

All in all, it was wonderful to see everyone and get a variety of cookies to bring with us to our family Christmas.  They're in the freezer, now!

Rosemary Sanders took the picture below with all of the cookies:

Caroling for Cans December 10th

We will be “Caroling for Cans” in Rainier on December 10^th.  Our Carolers will be singing Christmas carols door to door from 4:30 to 6 pm. We are leaving this bag in case you would like to donate non-perishable food to our food bank and senior center.  If you are not going to be home please leave the filled bag by your door and we will collect it.  If by some chance we miss your home you may take the food donation to City Hall and leave it in the barrel provided,

Thank you for helping your community.  If you would like to join us, we are meeting at the high school at 4:30 on the 10^th.  This event is being sponsored by Cub Scout Pack #307.
