Polson Seniors: Be an informed voter

On June 6, 1944, allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy. It was the beginning of the end of Fascism in Europe. Unfortunately, fascist ideology is still promoted worldwide.

If you do not vote, you have no voice. Be an informed voter. Ignore the squawkers on social media and television. Democracy is hard work. Do your work: read, ask questions, talk, vote.

We need help in the kitchen and with meal deliveries. Call or visit us.
