Fuji Apple Sale Orders Open Through October 5, 2018

The deadline for ordering apples has been extended to October 5, 2018!  These are premium quality apples that are individually packed in the boxes this year.  These apples are fresh, crisp and juicy.  They are a winter apple that will last for a long time if they are kept cold.  They're good for pies, apple crisp, apple strudle, eating, apple sauce, apple cake, muffins and so much more!  

Remember to order your box of Fuji Apples today!!!  

Rainier Lions - the "Tutti-Fruity" Club

The Rainier Lions Club is known throughout the PNW as the "Tutti-Fruity" club.  We begin our fundraising year by selling Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit, head in to the summer selling Peaches, Pears & Nectarines and closeout the fall by selling boxes of Fuji Apples.

Since we can't be everywhere - all the time - and our mission is to serve our local community - we partner with many of the groups in Rainier when we sell our fruit.  Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Rainier Community Gardens, just to name a few.  With their help, we sell hundreds of boxes of fruit to people throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Thank you ALL for working together to make our community a wonderful place to live!

Rainier Community Garden Canning Classes were a Success!

By:  Jeannine Pia

We had a great time at last weekend's Food Preservation and Hands-on Canning Classes at Rainier High School. A special thank you to Lois Willman, Master Food Preserver from Lewis County WSU Extension for teaching the classes and to the Rainier Lion's Club for helping to host the event. 12 people attended the Food Preservation Class and learned tips and safety guidelines. 7 people went home with a jar of freshly canned peaches. They were very proud of the work they did and their new baby peaches. They even posed for their "peach portraits". Check out these photos!

Dear Readers,

George & I attended the food preservation class.  It was very interesting & fun.  We learned a lot.  We are grateful to everyone who attended the classes.  Thank you for coming.  We also want to thank the following people who helped make this class possible:

Jeannine Pia

Lois Willman

Tim Garchow

The janitor & Home Economics teacher

Anyone else who helped coordinate this class

To those of you who are canning up a storm, you can buy your Fuji Apples from the Rainier Community Garden this year, too.  They supplied over 4,500 pounds of food to our Rainier Emergency Food Bank this year.

Thank you again,

Linda & George Johnson
