Polson Seniors: Drive carefully in the winter weather

The snow and ice can be a real pain when you crash-land. Be careful out there as you travel on ice and snow. 

Keep warm and save on heating bills by dressing in layers and keeping the heat inside. Drive with extra caution on bad roads or just stay home until travel is safer. Don’t let the Christmas rush rush you.

The center will be closed for Christmas weekend. 

Sign up for the toenail clinic at the center. Call the center for a reservation; appointments are $30.00.
