We would like to thank Michael Corrigan and Mason Cates for painting our Senior Citizens sign and for mowing and weed eating around the building. It’s nice to have some young people who like to lend a helping hand. You are very much appreciated.
The list is filling up for the AARP Driving Class, so if you are interested in taking this class give us a call at 883-4735 and we’ll get you on the list. Remember that if you are employed by your local school system this class will only cost you $5.00. So give us a call!
Election of officers will be held during the birthday lunch on August 24th. Be sure that you come and join us for lunch and vote on the officers for the up coming year.

The foot clinic will be this week, on the 15th, from 10:30 until noon. You don’t need an appointment and it is free, although donations are accepted to offset the cost.

The card players will meet here on Monday, the 20th, at 7 p.m.

Dixon
Summer delights include our local Dixon melons, Flathead cherries and other fresh produce available at stores, stands and farmers’ markets throughout the area. This is a good time to have several out-of-state relatives visiting. Fortunately there haven’t been close forest fires and smoke to hide the beautiful Mission Mountains. With plenty of shade, water, and A/C, this hot summer has been quite do-able. There’s more coming!
