ARLEE — Another month has passed by with the most delicious lunches and suppers provided by the Dustin Tiensvold Kitchen Gang at the Arlee Senior Center. If you haven’t made it a point to follow through on the menu and order a meal to eat in or take out, you are definitely missing out. We ask that you share your menu with others in the valley and/or invite them to a visit over lunch or dinner, at our Arlee Senior Citizens Center.
Lunch meals are served at noon on Mondays and Wednesdays, and supper at 5 p.m. on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month. Your cost is $4 for lunch and $5 for supper. Please call and leave a message at 406-726-3213 to ensure there is plenty for all. If you forget, just come in and we will try to accommodate you with a tasty entree. And please remember, you do not have to be a senior to eat at the senior center. We love having all ages. The Salish Senior Center also offers meals on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at noon, and all are welcome there too.
We were happy to have our floors cleaned and they look marvelous. We did a clean-up day in the center and are focusing on making our hot days of summer comfortable for all seniors and guests.
Bingo players can play after the noon meal. Anyone wishing to play pool, read books, or do puzzles are welcome at the center and of course other games and a TV are available as well. Our center is also available for rent for your special occasion.
Once a month we have Mary Ouellette from Area VI come to share senior tidbits with us. Also from Area VI, Debra Coffman comes to assist in our expertise of cell phones, laptops, and iPads. Area VI sends information on fraud, scam calls, the IRS, and provides our budget for the Nutrition Program. The Lake County Council on Aging now has housekeeping for all at a minimal wage, and provides transportation, information and assistance, and other help for all seniors in Lake County. There are also more openings for commodities, and they are delivered every other month with the next time being in September. Please sign up if you are eligible or if you would like to help LCCOA put the food stuffs together for our neighbors. See Anne for more information.
Good conversation, stories shared, and games played are a good checkup on one another in our time and age. God Bless all of you and we hope to see you at our table.
