Rainier Lions Club Build a Wheel Chair Ramp
Just before the Bluegrass Festival started, George Johnson received a call from Dave Essency, asking the Lions to build a wheel chair ramp for his neighbor. Since the Lions were busy getting ready for the Bluegrass Pickin' Party, Dave agreed to wait a couple of weeks for the wheel chair ramp.
George went out this week and picked up the materials for the wheel chair ramp. Then he
prefabricated parts of the ramp at home, so installation wouldn't take a long time. It's easier to use tools at home, then cart them to the job site.
This morning Tom Cook, George Johnson and Rainier Lions Club President, Evan Burnett went out and built the wheel chair ramp for Dave's neighbor, Roger Reeves.
The pictures below are of the wheel chair ramp:

Roger, on the down hill walk!
Success!

Hwy 507 Road Clean-up
Michael Oravits & Evan Burnett are picking up trash, with the Rainier Lions Club, along Hyw. 507. Together almost 20 bags of trash were picked up.
It's looking good!
You may recognize Michael from Pupper's Pets. He & Phyllis help out various Lions Clubs during the year with their project.
Evan Burnett is the President of the Rainier Lions Club this year. He's wearing his "President" jacket while he works.

My country 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died, Land of the Pilgrim's pride, From every mountain side Let freedom ring. My native country, thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills, My heart with rapture fills Like that above. |
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom's song; Let all that breathe partake; Let mortal tongues awake; Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong. Our fathers' God to Thee, Author of liberty, To Thee we sing. Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light, Protect us by Thy might Great God, our King! |

Rainier Lions Honored to Serve.....
By: George Johnson
Last week I was asked by a friend if the Rainier Loin's Club might be able to
help an elderly couple, George and Eleanor Burger, in Yelm move their porch gate. George said he always wanted cement steps. They were finally able to get it done last year. George had the new concrete
steps set on the front of his porch where he always wanted them, but the old
steps and gate were on the side.
Ready to get to work!
Evan evaluating the side steps, after the gate is moved to the front of the porch.
The old lattice was cut out and the gate moved to the front of the porch.

George said that he used to be a plumber and carpenter. When they first moved to Yelm, he helped construct the Yelm Prairie Christian Church. Now he is
no longer able to swing a hammer.
Three Rainier Lions club member showed up on Saturday the 9th at George and
Eleanor's at 1:30. It was a simple job and only took an hour and a
half. During that time we were able to talk with George, between his trips to
the garage, to get supplies. He told us of his involvement in helping finish the
construction of the church to it’s completion.
He matter of fact mentioned his service as if it were a ballgame watched
on TV last night. George served in the Navy for 22 years. He was 18 in 1943 when he was drafted. George, his two brothers and one sister all
served in WWII. They all returned home after the war. George served for 2 years in the South Pacific, on a repair ship called the Piedmont. One of his brothers was a co-pilot on a B19, the other an Army Engineer and his sister was a nurse who served the US in England.
Well if that was not enough George then served in Korea and then Vietnam. George talked about it as if it was a stroll in the park on a Sunday
afternoon.
When Linda, Evan and I finished we thanked George for the opportunity to be
able to serve him. It was an honor to assist such a courageous, devoted man and his
wife. Thank you George and Eleanor Burger. You are real hero's in my eyes.
George Burger, George Johnson & Evan Burnett
Evan told us, "I like doing these kinds of jobs. This is the reason I became a Lion!"
