ARLEE - Happy New Year 2025 to all of our friends/family here at the Arlee Senior Center. We truly enjoy all the meals shared with each of you. The sharing of daily events in your lives with one another is such a blessing to each of us who live alone, or have family far away. The meals that Dustin, Randy Tiensvold and Marti Bogess provide for us warm not only our bodies, but our hearts in sharing with one another. We invite all Jocko Valley (and beyond) to come join us for a Monday/Wednesday and second/fourth Saturday meal. You do NOT need to be of senior age to join us. We have many family members/children who also come. There are few places to eat in Arlee that you can get a $4 meal. Please call to request an eat-in or take-out meal at 406-726- 3213. If you need to have a delivered meal (for an infirmed person), please indicate delivery.
We have spent a complete December with no snow on the ground until the last day of the month. It is great to see the snow on the mountains, and the rain in the valley, but snow is definitely needed along with a bit of colder weather. We pray that all drivers are safe on Highway 93 in the inclement weather.
January 11 is our first Saturday dinner at 5 p.m. along with our annual board meeting for all seniors in attendance. Roast beef is on the menu, and we hope you all attend. There are always prizes for those in attendance. Listen to what we have accomplished this year at your center. Also, elections are held for new board members by acclamation of all present. If you are interested in being on the Arlee Senior Citizens Board, give a shout out and we will nominate you to join in our monthly business activities.
It is well known that people of all ages need to be involved ln social awareness (visiting), physical activity (walking at the Community Center), reading, puzzling, and spiritual selfcare among other things. Pick up your phone and visit with a friend and come to the center. The Salish Center also provides meals on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
December provided much night beauty with shooting stars (meteor showers), brilliant moon rises lighting up the Jocko Valley, and even some Northern Lights. Maybe January will bring us white snow filled fields and warm cozy fires. Enjoy your Christmas gifts, a warm cup of coffee/tea/your choice, and know after the winter leaves, spring arrives with new life!
Blessings on you all and truly enjoy the New Year of 2025.
