Hello From the Chinook Social Senior Center We had the most wonderful presentation by 1st Bank of MT, yesterday, by both Melissa & Cheryl. They brought so much information regarding SAFE BANKING that we can all benefit from! They were super informative and gave out nice prizes, too. Thank you to them for helping to keep us safe in a world filled with fraud. We are looking forward to our Pinochle Marathon Party on Wed., May 15th @ 2:00. It is fun to see how everyone did and will be fun to gather them all together in one place. We are once again...

That is what makes it special. Friendship &...

Hello From the Chinook Social Senior Center! We have had another great week, here, so if you weren’t here, you should have been! Our meals have been phenomenal! Our Pinochle Marathon will be starting soon and we will have a sign-up sheet here, so stop in and sign up!

This is our suggested donation price of a meal. We had to do this, due to the ever rising cost of food & it is very impor...

The 3rd annual community dinner and auction to support our Chinook golf course was held on Saturday, August 22. Despite the event being pushed to later in the year due to the pandemic, there was a fantastic crowd present and everyone had a great time. Social distancing was adhered too (due to the fact that we are fortunate enough to have the commercial building locally) which allows enough space to keep everyone at the required distance, while still moving ahead with the much needed fundraiser....
