Polson Seniors: On the cusp of March

Polson Seniors: On the cusp of March

March has been described as coming in like a lion and out like a lamb. Although March 19 is the first day of Spring (9:06 p.m. MST), it is okay to say March 20 is the first daylight of Spring. “March Madness” begins, a term describing the various basketball tournaments on TV. All those political ads are already driving me mad.

Applications are now being accepted for the position of director for nutrition, full or part time. Office and site management, food service experience preferred. Will train.
