Rainier Lions Club Sponsors Children (with Diabetes) to go to Camp Leo

Rainier Lions Fuji Apple Sales, all profit will go to Camp Leo (for children with Type 1 Diabetes).   A way to make sure your child attends Camp Leo is to volunteer  (family, friends or camper) with the Rainier Lions, during their community service projects, in the current  Lions year that is from now to June 30, 2019.  Then the Club will sponsor your child for Summer 2019 Camp Leo!   Come to the Lions meeting on the 4th Monday of the month, Rainier Chapel at 5:30 p.m. or contact the Rainier school nurse. (The Club limits the number of children sponsored.)

Camp Leo to Benefit from Rainier Lions Club Annual Apple Sales!

Camp Leo is the ONLY overnight camp in Western Washington exclusively dedicated to children with Type 1 Diabetes.

This year our apples will be packed at the orchard this year.  You will buy 40# of fresh, crisp, Fuji Apples for $40.00!  These are beautiful apples that keep fresh for a long time, so you can make pies, apple crisps, turnovers, applesauce, apple butter, and just eat them fresh out of the box!

The Rainier Lions Club would like you to know that Camp Leo for Children with Diabetes will benefit from their Fuji Apple Sales this year.  Camp Leo was established in 1990.  You can read about Camp Leo in the links below.

Mason Bee House Instructions

Mason Bees

Unlike Honey Bees, Mason Bees will fly in the rain to collect pollen and food for themselves and their future young.  This is a never-ending chore for Mason Bees.

If you have any problem attracting Mason Bees, you can buy them from your local nursery,

like Gordon's Garden Center in Yelm, or Crown Bee's in Woodinville.

http://www.gordonsgardencenter.com or http://www.crownbees.com

Mason Bees thrive in a clean environment.  They also need a little sunlight and a secure place for their hive/house, so it won't swing around in the wind.

The size of the holes that Mason Bees use is 5/16".  This is extremely important.

Scientific Information:

• Mason Bees emerge from the nest in early spring and mate.
• The male bees die off.
• Female bees gather pollen and return to the hive/house.
• Females deposit pollen at the back of each hole in the hive/house and lay eggs near the pollen.
• Females then seal the egg and food supply in with mud or clay.
• This process is repeated until the hole is completely filled.
• The depth of the hole determines how many eggs can be deposited in the hole, as well as the male/female ratio of the bees.
• Male eggs are deposited in the front of the hive/house, so they are the first to emerge in the spring.

How to Clean Your Mason Bee House:

The most popular way is to put paper sleeves in your Mason Bee House.  These can be replaced each spring after the bees emerge.

We use plastic straws in our area, as wasps will chew through paper sleeves and destroy the baby bees in the hives.  You can line the plastic straws with parchment paper.  Just wrap small pieces of parchment paper around a pencil and slip the pieces into the straws.  You can clean out the straws and replace the sleeves after the bees come out in the spring.

Place your Mason Bee Hive/HOuse facing east.  This way they will get the morning sun.

Make sure there is mud or clay nearby.  It needs to be within 100 yards of their house, so they can easily seal in their eggs and food supply.

Mason Bees will pollinate any type of flowering plant.  Five (5) Mason Bees will do the pollination of a whole hive of honey bees.

Mason Bees are native to the Pacific Northwest.

We Love Rainier Washington!

There's a new group in town.  "We Love Rainier Washington".  Over 24 people showed up at the first meeting they had at City Hall last month.  People are very excited about the changes happening in our city.  You're welcome to join our group on Facebook and you will find out when our meetings are being held as well as what we're planning on our FB page:   

https://www.facebook.com/groups/weloverainierwa/

There are many wonderful ideas for fun changes that are coming to Rainier.  

• One idea is to update the name of the Yelm Tenino (Tenino - Yelm) trail to the "TRY" Trail.  Tenino, Rainier, Yelm.  
• Charmagne Garrison ordered some solar lights to put in trees in along the TRY Trail.
• The men at the Public Works Department are going to clean up the trail south of Brogan's shop to make it safer to travel on.  
• Monarch Sculpture Park is going to put some of their metal art along the trail in the greater Rainier area.
• Cheryl Turner put red, white and blue flowers out in the planters and in front of Turner Automotive.  She is encouraging all of the businesses in town to put out flowers as well.  Joycelyn (Main Street Cookies) and Bo Foster are helping Cheryl with the flowers.
• The Public Works Department has cleaned up the weeds along the curbs and in the parking strip along Hwy 507.  They've also mowed in some of the ditches along 507 and in other parts of town.
• The Rainier Lions are going to build a concession stand north of the basketball court.

There are many more projects and wonderful ideas for changes that people want to see happen in Rainier.  Please feel free to bring your thoughts and ideas to our next meeting.  The time and date will be announced soon.
