The AARP Driving class for June will be held on Tuesday, the 19th. Class starts promptly at 9 a.m. If you are interested in taking this class give us a call at 883-4735 and we’ll get you on the list.

We would really like to thank all of our volunteers for all the hours and work that they put in. I know that it doesn’t get said often enough but many, many thanks. We couldn’t do it without you!

Birthday dinner is on Friday, May 25 and Shirley will be here at 10:30 a.m. to do the blood pressure clinic. We will start serving at noon so get your glad rags on, grab a friend and come join us for a wonderful meal. The Hearing Clinic will be on Tuesday, May 29 from 9 a.m. till 11 a.m. If you are having any problems or have questions come on in and talk with Mike and he’ll do what he can.

The senior center would appreciate the occasional use of a trailer suitable for hauling our aluminum cans to Missoula. An enclosed cargo trailer would be the best. If you have such a vehicle, please give Dave or Cathy a call at 883-4735.

I hope you all enjoy the beautiful sunshine and have a really great week.
