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
