We have over 150 paid members in this, the last month of our fiscal year.

This is also the month that we have nominations for officers and two open positions on the board. Contact a board member for more information please!

We need fresh faces on the board or serving as officers. Officers are elected yearly and board members serve three-year terms. The Board meets on the second Friday of each month at 10:30. Meetings are usually adjourned at or around lunchtime.

No experience is necessary to serve on the board. We also need members willing to serve on the nomination committee that is now being formed. Ask someone you know to serve on the board or committees.

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.

Activities at the Polson center, open to all, include: wood carving for beginners, 1 p.m. Wednesday and Friday, join any week; self-guided, video-assisted exercise, 10:30-11:30 a.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, sitting or standing; bingo, 6:30 p.m. Fridays ($100 blackout), with playing card bingo on the first and third Wednesdays; pinochle, 12:30-3 p.m. Thursdays (ee always have a chair reserved for you, and a coach if you want one); Wednesday is game day – bring a game and a group of friends from 1-3 p.m.
