Polson Seniors: TV trays needed for card games

The position of full or part-time office manager is now open. Cooking experience or willingness to train is a plus. Wage are negotiable and range from $16-$25.

Remember those TV trays you haven’t used for years? We could use two sets of four to upgrade our card-table accessories. The trays we have are well used since 1972, and in need of retirement.
