Polson Seniors: Toe-nail clinic this Friday

A certified nurse offers a toenail and callus clinic Friday, April 25. Cost is $30 and enrollment is limited so sign up. Clinics continue on the fourth Friday of each month.

Thanks to those who volunteer at the Polson Senior Citizens Center, and to our six paid staff members as well. We now have five new volunteer drivers that are assisting with daily lunch deliveries to nearly 100 citizens of Polson.

Our hot meals in-house average 30 people per weekday. We currently have more than 25 drivers for food delivery services, working from one to five days per week. An additional route has now been added due to increases in requests for meals. 

We have a taxi service for seniors and handicapped needing rides concerning health, finance and groceries, etc. The fee is $5 per round trip. We only have one driver for this service. Call 24 hours in advance to reserve a time.  

Clients will have to load and unload items greater than 10 pounds. Rides out of town, to Missoula or Kalispell for example, require 48 hours notice. For reservations for rides to Missoula or Kalispell call 406-883-7284.

Bowling “no-tap” is Tuesdays, 1-3 p.m. Join any time.
