Polson Seniors: Longing for a Royal Burger
It has been brought to my attention that in Polson, Spring does NOT arrive on March 21. It arrives on the first day that Richwine’s Burgerville opens those sliding windows and hands you a Royal Burger and a huckleberry shake (with a smile).
The staff, officers, board of directors and members of the Polson Senior Center send our condolences to the family of Ken Newgard. He was an active supporter of our center. Coffee Hour will never be the same without him.
Sign up at the Senior Center to receive more information about the center, monthly calendars for food and activities, special events, detailed reports from the board of directors, news from individual members, etc.
Trained volunteers are available to offer tax-filing assistance on Mondays or Thursdays from now until April 6 or so. Call for an appointment and bring your paper work and a copy of last year’s tax forms.
