ARLEE — Whew … summer just flew by with the Jocko Valley full of sunshine and heat some days, and smoke and heat on others. We were blessed to receive a couple of beautiful rain showers that lifted our spirits. The many meals we share on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and every other Saturday bring this senior group closer in friendships. The memories of the loved ones we lost have warmed our hearts and bring conversations of what their contributions were in this valley.

 Arlee seniors continue to host the foot clinic on the third Monday of the month, which we thoroughly enjoy. This last July we hosted the Red Cross Blood Drive, but due to lack of communication, it was short and sweet. 

Thanks to help from Anne’s grandson, Isaac, the carpets were cleaned and refreshed. 

We have a quilt being raffled, which was made and donated by the Jocko Valley Quilters. Many thanks for that. Tickets are $2 each, three for $5, or seven for $10. Jocko Valley Quilters continuously donate their beautiful handiwork to many organizations of this valley.  

Come join us for a lunch at noon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and a bountiful dinner on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month. We thank Kelly, our cook, for the delicious meals.   

Judi keeps our center clean and well organized, as well as providing pretty flowers outside. Lilie continues to bring us fresh flowers for the tables, as well as some of her garden produce. Mr. Naugle also brings garden veggies weekly for us to use. Bill and Bette keep our building in running order. We also thank Marvin Rehbein for the beef he has donated to us. And of course, to all those who come and support us, and share a meal, we always give thanks. Without generous people helping the center, it would be hard for it to survive.
