I’ve been packing on a few pounds lately. But if we were not meant to have midnight snacks why is there a light in the fridge? Eh? Think about it.

We are going to begin showcasing our members who have shown considerable support for our senior center. Heading the list is Dean Griener, who with his first wife Mariella and then with his second wife Marilyn, has been very instrumental in our success.

Dean served three and a half years and flew 35 missions piloting a B-17 in WWII. After moving to Polson, Dean served as mayor. At about that same time, he became involved with the Polson Senior Center, serving as the president from 1984-85 and then twice more, and is currently our vice-president. He is a lifelong member of the VFW and took one of the last honor flights to Washington, D.C.

Dean and Marilyn were world travelers having many wonderful adventures from safaris to river rafting.

We will have bingo on June 20 and June 27 but will take the entire month of July off due to staff vacations. At this time we plan on resuming bingo on Aug. 1.

The hearing clinic will be held on June 24. Remember, the veterans’ representative will be here on the third Tuesday of every month from 10 a.m.-noon. This is the old schedule.

The lunch menu for the coming week will feature:

•  Thursday, June 19: hamburger gravy over whipped potatoes

•  Friday, June 20: mini submarine sandwich

•  Monday, June 23: enchiladas with rice

•  Tuesday, June 24: hamburger steak with noodles

•  Wednesday, June 25: lasagna, French bread

Our cook Wanda has been hospitalized with viral pneumonia and is now back at home recuperating. We’re looking forward to her return as soon as she can get weaned from her oxygen.

What hair color do they put on the driver’s licenses of bald men?

Have a good week.
