POLSON — Hot August nights are near us. Stay cool man, real cool.

 AARP Safe Driving Course is July 29, from 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Early sign-up is required. We have about ten more openings. There’s no testing and it’s a video assisted event with informal discussions. The take-home study guide is yours to keep and the cost is $20 for AARP members and $25 for non-members. You can get a substantial discount from your insurance company for participation in this course. 

We have a great opportunity to awaken, supplement, and expand your experiences by serving the Polson Senior Community Center by serving in a leadership position. Volunteer and be part of seniors helping seniors. Nominations, (yes, you can nominate yourself), are now being accepted, call or visit.

Heavy traffic is delaying food delivery by up to 20 minutes. Be patient. We are doing what we can to deliver meals in a timely fashion, as always.

A Nail Clinic is available you just need to sign up at the center. There is an employment opportunity in the center’s nutrition department. Call us and ask for Kaye.
