Polson Senior Center: Thanks to poll workers and veterans

If you did not vote in the recent election, you have no one to blame. Election Day may be over, but the days it takes to count could number more than one. Thanks to all those poll workers who volunteered to guarantee a safe and efficient process, free from interference. Considering the alternatives, we have the best system in the world: a democratic republic.

Veteran’s Day is Nov. 11. You know their story. Never forget. Thank a vet. Those here, those lost, we are in your debt. Those wiht proof of armed forces service receive a $2 rebate on the cost of lunch on Nov. 11.
