POLSON — Patriot Day is Sept. 11. If you love your country, and support its authority under law, and your country’s interests, then this is your day. That’s what it means to be patriotic. Not just this day, but every day. Vote. It’s the easiest and most patriotic thing you can do for your country.
Congratulations to the recently elected leaders of the Polson Senior Center. Thank you all for your continued service on behalf of the senior community.
September is the start of our fiscal year, and our membership campaign is gearing up. We would like to invite you to renew your membership or join us as a new member. Stay tuned for our banana split membership drive. Last year we had the support of over 150 members, and our goal is to hit 200 this year. The dues are only fifteen dollars.
The Safe Driver Course, sponsored by AARP and hosted by our center will be presented on Sept. 24 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. This easy-to-follow video presentation and guidebook for safe driving focuses on the safety of the senior citizens who are navigating our road ways. Pre-registration is highly recommended. The $25 fee will realize a discount on your car insurance policy that is greater than the registration fee and is renewable every three years. Sign up at the Polson Senior Center.
