Polson Seniors: AARP served over 600 people

The AARP Tax Assistance Program served over 600 people in the Polson area who needed assistance in filing their taxes. We sincerely appreciate the donations we received from various filers.

We have an open part-time cook’s helper position. Job applications are available at the center from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. 

Activities at the center, open to all, include: Wednesday Play Day to play cards, board games, dominoes, chess or mahjong (invite a foursome); self-guided, video-assisted exercise, 10:30-11:30 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays; bingo at 6 p.m. and playing card bingo at 6 p.m. on the first and third Wednesdays of each month (elimination-style); and pinochle, 12:30 p.m. on Mondays (no pass) and Thursdays (standard). 

The pool table is open for play 8 a.m.-3 p.m. weekdays. Bridge and Mahjong groups meet regularly at the center. We also have a variety of five-handed, no-partner pass-one-card games.
