It’s sounding like fall recipes. I’m still hoping for a coming-back of some sunny weather. I’m not finished with summer yet! It’s time for planting bulbs and iris, bringing in the harvest, if you got any, and digging out some warmer clothes. The bears seem to be very active this season, so be careful if you’re a bird hunter around our area!

Polson senior center

With Cathy Corrigan: Our brunch here at the center last Sunday was a great success. If not for the volunteers this wouldn’t have taken place.  Miss Mary sat at the bake sale table while Joe W., Ann B., Clara S. worked in the kitchen, and “White Gloves Greiner” and his side kick Marilyn did a great job on the pancakes. Garnett C. was at the cashier table and Dave M. was our meeter and greeter. Also, a big thank you to our Nutrition Director, Jo.

Last but not least, thank you to all of you who came in and ate and bought the goodies at the bake sale. We appreciate your support and to all who baked the goodies, thank you very much.

We are having a raffle here at the center, contact the center for more information. Come on down and have a look and get your ticket.
