ARLEE — Happy Oct. 2-24 and happy fall. It seems fall is here but keeps getting interrupted with hot days and cool/cold nights, but for the most part we have had beautiful blue skies with fluffy clouds and brilliant starts at night and a full moon coming for Halloween. How blessed we are to live where we can see the night sky showing the planets, stars and even satellites and planes sliding by.
It is time to set up your Covid booster and RSV shots at your local pharmacy or doctor’s office.

We thoroughly enjoyed the company of Marvin Rehbein and family while we thanked him for our fantastic new kitchen remodel. We continue to enjoy the Tiensvold’s tasty entrees and savory cooking skills. Check out the October menu made by Lilie Willison and Dustin Tiensvold. We hope you will bring not only yourselves but your family, your neighbors and friends to join us at the table.
We are still happy to have takeout meals for those who prefer to eat at home. Yet, the research has shown us that coming together to break bread at our age with our friends and neighbors helps us to enjoy our later years with a much more positive and balanced life.
Our lunch meals are held on Mondays and Wednesdays at noon and on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month at 5 p.m. for dinner. Lunch costs $4 and dinner costs $5. Yu should know that this is a donation based meal assisted payment made by Area VI Agency on Aging and federal programs. If you have an informed elder who needs delivery of a meal, contact us at 406-726-3213. If you know of an elder in need of commodities, pick up an application. Commodities are delivered every other month.
If you find that you need help with other areas of your life, transportation, respite, home health services, information or assistance or a friendly voice to direct you, call the Area VI Agency on Aging in Polson or their office in Ronan at 406-676-2367.
We are beginning bingo games this month and games will be held after Wednesday meals. Other games available are pool, Scrabble, Trivia and cards. Let’s get our minds working. With our online TV, we will offer an AARP Safe Driving Course this month and possibly some exercise videos.
