There was a full house at the last Rainier Lions Club meeting Monday evening! The Rainier Lions hosted a pizza and cake party to thank some of
the youth in our community for their community service work. Over the last year these students showed up to clean
parks and trails in Rainier. They also always showed up to help the Lions
whenever we needed assistance this last year in any project we called them
for. They helped cart heavy boxes of fruit to customer's cars. They helped with Family Fun Day, packed apples & helped with Halloween in the Park. So many of these students sang Christmas Carols when they went "Caroling for Cans" that the Rainier Emergency Food Center received over 2000 pounds of non-perishable food in donations.
Club president Evan Burnett said “ it’s important to recognize these
students and the service they perform for the community” They could have said
no, but never did. Rainier should be proud to have such citizens in our
community who want to give their time to make our community a better place to
live. Some are scouts. All of these students have parents that care.
