Polson Seniors: Search for cook continues

Celebrate Independence Day! Be safe.

We are continuing our search for a full or part-time cook and/or nutrition director. Apply in person. Wages based on experience and range of knowledge in food service.

Our non-profit organization relies on members willing to serve in leadership positions. No experience required. We only require your dedication in serving the seniors and the needy in our community.

Volunteer to serve on the board of directors. Elections are at our annual meeting at 10:30 a.m. on the fourth Friday of August.

Our fiscal year is coming to an end next month. We hope to set a record for membership this year, and are now nearing the greatest number we’ve had in at least the prior 10 years. Thanks go out to all you fine folks for your support.

The dues are only $15 per year – the same as it was 30 years ago.
