POLSON — The Polson Senior Center serves the senior citizens of the Polson area and beyond. Our organization is committed to serving citizens in their ‘golden’ years. It sure sounds better than ‘graying’ or ‘sagging’ years.
So here it is again, where the Irish celebrate being Irish on the 17th of March. Come for some corned Beef at the Polson Senior Center as we celebrate St. Patty’s Day.
There are all sorts of traditions surrounding St. Patrick’s Day including, jokes about the Irish, wearing green and getting pinched if you don’t wear green on that day. Well, I must say I have a wee bit of the Irish blood in me. I enjoy the songs, the food, the drink, and the traditions, but don’t pinch me, I’m German. I will not tell you Irish jokes; you’ve probably heard them already.
Tax assistance by trained personnel is available for free at the center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays through April 14. Call for a reservation, but walk-ins are welcome.
