The great American Experience is still in the works, ever since 1776. We’re still working toward a more perfect Union, dedicated to the proposition that all men and women are created equal.

Fire season is here. Be careful with those fireworks. Your neighbors are depending on you.

Our fiscal year is coming to an end next month. We hope to set a record for membership this year. Thanks go out to all you fine folks for your support. Our volunteers are the best!

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; Wednesday is game day – bring a game and a group of friends from 1-3 p.m.

The pool table is open 8 a.m.-3 p.m. weekdays. Inquire at the center about bridge.

A veteran’s representative visits the center on the first Friday and third Tuesday of each month.

Meals are available for sit-down, take-out or delivery from 11:45 a.m.-12:30 p.m. weekdays; a suggested donation of $5 helps support the nutrition program. The menu is posted each week at the center, although it’s subject to change. Call before 10 a.m. for grab-n-go.

Upcoming main dishes include: chili dogs and tater tots, June 27; Birthday Dinner for Lunch with roast pork, June 28; chicken noodle soup, July 1; BBQ ribs, July 3; and burgers and hot dogs, July 5.

The center is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays at 504 Third Ave. E. For more information, call 406-883-4735, email polsonseniorcenter@gmail.com or visit us on Facebook.
