Rural & Tribal Transit for Yelm & Rainier

Below is an email received by Evan and myself from Fred Evander Rainier City Planner on helping to construct a rural bus stop in Rainier.

Both Evan and myself feel this is something we can do as a club for Rainier and maybe even get some wheel chair ramp builders to assist. Evan also suggested we try and get the American Legion involved with us.

There are some things we can do with little or no cost. We also believe our club can afford to construct a bus stop shelter in Rainier. Please contact Evan or me with your thoughts.

Fred needs our club's response by mid November.

Thanks,

George

So far, the general consensus from our Rainier Lions Club members is "Yes" to building the rest stop for the Rural Transit. Please send us your input.

Fred Evander, City Planner for Rainier, sent the Rainier Lions information on the Rural & Tribal Transit for Rainier & Yelm.

Hey George,
Attached is the letter…

Potential donation options include:

-Donation of a bus stop sign or shelter that somebody on the Lions (or somewhere else) made

-Volunteer time (say an hour a month commitment from somebody) to discuss RT with residents, at the Lions meetings, etc.

-Use of your reader board sign on Binghampton to promote RT for a certain amount of time.

-Money

Anyway that the Lions could help would be appreciated.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Fred

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!

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!"
