Speaking of History Project
George and I attended the STEDI (South Thurston Economic Development Initiative) Breakfast Meeting last Friday that was held in the remodeled Tenino Quarry House. These meetings are held on the third Friday of every month. They cover smaller cities Thurston County: Bucoda, Rainier, Rochester, Tenino and Yelm. They are held in these various cities on a rotating basis.
The Senior Center of Rainier has been helped tremendously by what we've learned at these meetings.
We Love Rainier WA was born out of the information and help received through these meetings.
The public is welcome.
The Grand Mound Rochester Chamber of Commerce is working on a "Speaking of History Project".
They're preserving historical documents, photos & personal stories from their local area. They're encouraging the other small cities in Thurston County to do the same. They have been working on preserving the "Gates City Historical School". They've done a beautiful job on restoring their building. Now they're continuing their work through this project.
Anyone with stories or items they're interested in sharing about this project, please feel free to call them.
If you have information or items to share about Rainier, contact the Rainier Historical Society. They're located in the Rainier School District Office Building. (Rainier Historical Elementary School Building).
