If you need to come to the Senior Center to cool off during this heat wave, please call George at:  (360) 292-5363 or Linda at:  (360) 292-5364.  Several people have keys to our building if you need shelter from the heat, please come to the Senior Center.  Everyone is welcome.

The weather forecast for  Saturday is 98°, Sunday is 107° & Monday is 104°.  We want to make sure everyone is comfortable and safe during this unusual weather.

July 2021 Lunch Menu

 

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".

June 2021 Lunch Menu

 Dear Seniors & Friends,

We will be serving meatloaf on the last Wednesday of May and a picnic at the Senior Center on the last Monday in May.  The picnic will have:  1/4 pound angus burgers & hot dogs with all of the trimmings.  Soup, salad, potato salad, chips & baked beans - along with soup, beverages and dessert.  Our special dessert will be a summer cake that Victoria Cooper is making to share.  Thank you, Victoria!

Rainier Easter Egg Hunt 2021

              The Rainier Easter Bunny in action!

Easter came early to Rainier when the Easter Bunny (EB) & friends hid about 2,000 Easter Eggs for the kids to find in Wilkowski Park Saturday.  Parents and kids came early to see the Easter Bunny.  EB entertained people of all ages.  

Parents and grandparents smiled as children looked for eggs.  The eggs were filled with treats.  Candy, trinkets and prizes.  Glenda's Espresso Stand, Main Streeet Cookie Store and Sonja's Cafe gift almost 100 certificates for the kids. Other businesses and private citizens donated dozens of gifts for children.  The certificates for businesses and gifts were hidden in the eggs.

 

The kids were organized by age group into four different group:  3 & under, 4-7, 8-10, 11 & up.

Once the kids were lined up and ready to go, Everyone patiently waited until George Johnson got on the "We Love Rainier WA" megaphone and let them know the hunt was on.  

Parents & grandparents smiled as kids hunted for eggs.  Everyone was smiling.  Not one person complained about anything! 

                      Oh, no!   Easter Bunny DOWN!  

                 Our Easter Bunny is plum tuckered out.

         Our Easter Bunny is still napping...

                          The Easter Bunny wakes up!

                           George Johnson & Arnold Tiffany.

                        My Easter Bunny:  George Johnson

A special "Thank You" to everyone who donated gifts & eggs for the Easter Egg Hunt this year.  We also want to thank all of the people from the Senior Center of Rainier & We Love Rainier WA for their help filling the Easter Eggs!  It took days and days to fill all of those eggs.  Some eggs were easier to close than others.  

Rachel Stephenson, Tiffany Crop, Bill & Kathy Willette, Arnold Tiffany, George & Linda Johnson, Terri & Bill Rendahl, Dawn, Amber, Matthew & John Kenney, Mike Emmons and many others helped put the Rainier Easter Egg Hunt together for the kids.  

Thank you to Kevin & Diane Pettit for moving the Rainier Saturday Market outdoors.  We appreciate all of the vendors who joined in our Easter Celebration this year.  

Finally, "Thank you" to everyone who joined in our Easter Egg Hunt Saturday.  Shhh...the  adults were smiling as much as the kids!
