ARLEE - Our town! It is such a gift to be from a small town and be a part of so many things! Flea markets, a grocery store, gas station, pizza and pub, The Mercantile, Thrift Store, Post Office, Barne, Aunties Emporium, Volunteer Fire Department, rug sales, laundromat, community center, library, K-12 schools, massage therapy, hair stylist, two senior centers, N’kusum School, museum, churches and the list goes on and on. We are blessed.

Now the Arlee Senior Center has had the carpet cleaned, the flag pole put back up with a new flag from the American Legion, enjoyed the June rains and the heat before and coming again. We also have many more seniors and friends coming to break bread and share stories during our meals. Remember to join us on Mondays and Wednesdays at noon for $4 and on the second and fourth Saturdays at 5 p.m. for $5. Please call 406-726-3213 to reserve your meal. Dustin and Randy Tiensvold along with Marti Bogess look forward to cooking and serving you. If you are interested in joining us and becoming a “Dues Paying Member,” we look forward to having you. 

Our Board of Directors meets regularly to make sure our Arlee Senior Center continues to run smoothly. We give financial reports for the center and for the Nutrition Center within. We keep minutes to share with others and with Area VI Council on Aging in Polson. We continue to thank our board and members for their work and dedication. We also thank Tiensvold Gardens for our beautiful flower display in the front of the building. 

This month on July 16, commodities will be distributed to those who have signed up for this program. If you need assistance, contact us or Area VI to receive an application ASAP. If you no longer need assistance, then call Area VI to remove your name. We appreciate all those who help with assembling the six bags and load them for those in need. 

We have had a few rentals take place at the center but would love to have other events happen also. 

We have bingo, cards, puzzles, exercise classes, pool games, among other things. We also have a piano for use to entertain us during our meals. If you care to share a song, we would love to invite you to dinner or lunch. 

If you would like to have your toenails cut, Nurse Mandy Jo comes once a month to Arlee Center. Please register on our signup sheet.
