“Fast away the old year passes; hail the new ye lads and lasses!”

With the New Year now upon us, the Polson Senior Community Center would like to thank all those who have contributed toward the success of our programs and activities for senior citizens. We thank our employees for their hard work and dedication. Thank you to the officers and board of directors for their diligence in leadership positions, and thanks to the various non-profit organizations who support our nutrition program.

Thank you, city, county, state and federal governments, for financial assistance from your tax dollars. Thanks to those who provide food to the center, in particular, Country Pasta and Montana Marbled Meats.

We thank all our members for volunteering their time for little things, and big things that you do to ensure the continuing success of this center and its mission in our community. Happy New Year!
