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.

The Polson Senior Community Center will be closed Thursday for Thanksgiving and Friday, Nov. 29. However, the bingo games will be played on Friday as usual. Doors open at about 5:30 p.m.

Memory Café meets Dec. 3 at 1 p.m. This will be their last meeting at the Community Center. Future meetings will be held at 222B Main Street on the first Tuesday of each month.

Christmas is coming sooner than you think. It’s not too late for See’s Candy – many choices are available, plus peanut brittle.
