ARLEE - Already January 2025 has passed, bringing us colder weather, beautiful night skies with a full moon and stars abundant, even a bit of Northern lights. Our annual meeting was well attended, and two new members were added to the Board: Ann Younger and Delores Arrowsmith. There are still agendas/minutes for anyone to pick up and read concerning the financials and happenings here at the center during the 2024 year.
Area VI Council on Aging from Polson provides us with monthly newsletters on how to stay healthy, help to fight depression, eat proper nutritious meals, and do puzzles and crosswords to keep our minds alert. Copies can be made for anyone who would like to read them.
We can offer an AARP Driving Class this month. We will do it on a weekday, and it will take about four hours. The time and date will be announced at the meals in February. This does bring a discount on your auto insurance.
Those of you who have suffered from colds, flu and other maladies this winter, we certainly hope and pray you are on the mend and will enjoy the end of winter. We have been blessed with little snow for all of us driving hither and yon (until just recently) and are looking forward to a bit more exercise outside once it gets warmer. The CSKT Community Center offers twice a week exercise classes if you are so inclined. We also have a CD of easy Yoga we can do from our chairs or floor here at the center.
Commodities were delivered the last of part of January and there are many openings if anyone would like to fill out an application. They now deliver cases of food here to the center for us to fill the six bags of different nutritious food from the government. We also have monthly distribution of food from the Missoula Food Bank to assist in our menus. The Arlee Food Bank also distributes to those who need assistance once a week. And again, a big thank you to Marvin Rehbein for the donation of another half of beef for our cooks to savor our palates with joy.
Thanks again to our wonderful staff: President Cherie Garcelon, Vice President Betty Shoemaker, Secretary/Treasurer Anne Stewart, Jerry Garcelon, Lilie Willison, Judy Miller, Marie Gillette, Gladys Brown, Patty Tiensvold, and cooks, Dustin and Randy Tiensvold and Marti Bogess. We also thank Roman Adams for the snowplowing, Wade Gillingham for mowing the lawn and handyman jobs, and all those who clean the center, decorate and send out the newsletter and menu as well as everyone who comes to enjoy our meals.
