Polson Seniors: Ping-pong anyone?

If you forgot to set your clocks ahead one hour you can go ahead and set them now or wait six months and then it will be standard time again.

One thing we can’t change is the first day of each season. This first day of Spring is sometimes the 20. It will end June 21, mostly, although sometimes it’s the 22nd. Blame it on the sun and the tilt of the earth. You could live in Australia where it is called the first day of Fall. Yes, you can snow ski in July because its winter there. Sometimes here too – I have witnessed snow in Polson on July 4.

We have been approached by a ping-pong enthusiast who would like to loan us a table for use at the center. If you have an interest in playing, please sign up at the center.
