Polson Seniors: Remember the patriots

Last week Armed Forces Day was celebrated and May 29 is Memorial Day. Remember those who are dear to us, particularly those who offered their lives or lost their lives in military service. Check this newspaper for events scheduled in our community.

Notice to clients receiving meal deliveries: If you will not be available to accept your meal at the time of delivery, place a small insulated and iced container outside of your entry to allow for the storage of your meal until you return. The meal will not be delivered without your presence or without an iced container. If you will be unavailable on the day of delivery, please give the center advanced notice.

The center is hiring additional staff for food service, full or part-time. Stop by for an application.

We are also looking for additional members for the board of directors – only one short meeting each month, usually in the a.m. of the second Friday. Volunteer to serve the seniors in the Polson area. We need your help!
