Good Old Days celebration was fun, busy and we had a good time visiting with old friends and meeting new friends. Thanks to all that came and ate breakfast Saturday and played bingo. A big thank-you to the 4-hers that came and helped with the breakfast and rode on our float.

The St. Ignatius Senior Center is looking to hire a site manager. They will work with the kitchen staff to plan meals, do the computer work, visit with meal participants and help the center with other projects. The job takes two or three days a week for six to eight hour a day. If you are interested please call 406-745-4462 for more information.

If you have a garden and find yourself with extra veggies and/or fruit, please remember the senior centers and your local food pantries. I know everyone enjoys these items.

The center has been gifted with 1,000-piece puzzles and has quite a few to give out.

Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy a meal at the center at noon Fridays and Tuesdays and 5:30 p.m. select Wednesdays. Menus are available via email, mail, or at the center. If you are interested in a take-out meal, please call 406-745-4462 by 10 a.m. and leave a message.

Main dishes include: three-bean casserole, noon July 21; Taco Tuesday, noon July 25; and BBQ chicken, noon July 28.

You don’t have to be a senior to join and support our center and meet neighbors old and new. Membership is $10 a year.

Gentle Yoga meets at 1 p.m. Wednesdays (call 406-253-0177); and Foot Hill Club gathers at 1 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays for snacks and cards.

The center has a computer available for public use from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Tuesdays and Fridays; the facility is also available to rent. A walker, commode, wheelchair or high-rise toilet seat, and other personal care items are also available to share.

If you need help with other areas of your life such as transportation, respite and home health services, or other information, call the friendly people at Lake County Council on Aging in Ronan at 406-676-2367.
