A limited-edition commemorative coin has been issued for
Raymond's Centennial Celebration from Aug. 1-5.
Friday, 07/13/07
Designed by Raymond High School graduate Denny Reinen, the coins are available for $15. The face features three scenes special to Raymond: a log truck, a logger and a river with a leaping salmon.
"The coin perfectly represents the area," says Jeanne Jones, the Centennial chairwoman. "We are very proud of the design."
The city ordered 500 coins and, if demand is high enough, it may do a second order.
"They seem to be going pretty fast," said Raymond Mayor Bob Jungar.
The coins are available now by e-mailing Jones at jeannemjones@comcast.net. The coins will also be sold during the Centennial festivities.
They are also on sale at various locations in Raymond, including City Hall, Sagen's Pharmacy, the Bank of the Pacific, the Dennis Co., PACE Nutrition, Security State Bank, Jensen Furniture and the Willapa Bay Chamber of Commerce office in the Visitor's Center. They will also be available at South Bend City Hall.
All proceeds will go to pay for the professional fireworks display on Saturday, Aug. 4, during the Centennial festivities.
