Polson Seniors: Fly the flag May 20

Armed Forces Day is May 20. Since 1949 this holiday signifies the unification of the three branches of the armed forces into one unified force under the Department of Defense. Previously each branch had their own national day.

Nearly 1.7 million active-duty personnel are currently serving in the military, on the land, the sea, and in the air. Fly the flag and send a thank-you card to someone you know that is currently serving our country.

The ladies that play Mahjong need another game set. If you have one to give away, bring it to the center.

The center is hiring additional staff for our kitchen. Stop by for an application.

We are also looking for additional members for the board of directors, which meets once each month. We are always seeking volunteers willing to serve the senior citizens in our community.

The pool table is open 8 a.m.-3 p.m. weekdays.
