Lions Grapefuit Sale for 2019!

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!

Note from: District Governor Marilynn Danby

MD-19 District Governor Marilynn Danby ordered a box of Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit from our last fundraiser, which she donated to the Rainier Emergency Food Center.

Everyone in the Rainier Lions Club & at the Rainier Emergency Food Center send Marilynn a special 

THANK YOU for her thoughtfulness!  

THANK YOU MARILYNN!

Grapefruit Fundraiser 2013

Thank You for Your Grapefruit Orders!

Thank you all for purchasing Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit from the Rainier Lions Club.  We appreciate your support.  You purchase helps us serve our local community.  We did a lot last year and work to continue to do more this year.

Last year we provided cataract surgery for someone who could not afford it.  This enabled him to get back to work.  Without this surgery, he couldn't work, as he is blind in the other eye.  

We support several non-profit organizations in Rainier:  The Senior Center, RABC, Food Bank, Boy Scouts and more.  

Thank you again for your support and all you do to help our community.

In Your Service,

Linda Johnson
