Hello From the Chinook Senior Center We had a nice surprise, last Thursday, when Nita Johnson stopped in for an unexpected visit and stayed to play Bingo. Nice to see her. Hope that she comes back soon. We had a fun day making Patriotic Heart wreaths, yesterday, under the tutelage of Bonnie Nesslar. She is very crafty. We all had a great time, and we have our fun pieces to take home. Today, Brad Taylor came in and played some very nice music, in a volume where we could all enjoy it and still carry on a conversation. It is always a pleasure to...

Hello From the Chinook Senior Center Hello From the Chinook Senior Center We have had lots of fun in May, celebrating many fine people in our small community. We hosted a 90th birthday party for Ira Hall that was very well attended despite the many things going on in our community. That is a testament to the many lives that he has touched. We also celebrated many nice folks for our May birthday party, which was also well attended. This gives us an opportunity to visit with people that we don’t get to see as often as we would like. Many of us h...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center We trust that you all had a nice Memorial Day weekend, with family and friends. It can be a very difficult week, for many. Decorating graves always brings it back to fresh and real. May blessings of peace and comfort be over you, as you continue your path of loss. Many spent time honoring our service men and women who served. It is a time of reflection of their sacrifice to honor those who gave of themselves to the service of this country. We still believe that this is the greatest country in the world and...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center We had a delightful turnout for our second annual Mother’s Day brunch, held on Saturday, May 10th, despite all of the local happenings.

Tomi Simenson, from Shore’s Floral donated our beautiful flowers that were floating in our teacups and Charlene Lowen, from Havre had donated many crocheted doilies that her mother had made, to acce...

We were blessed with the cooking talents of Howard Juneau and the tremendous help of Charlotte Brummer who stayed and helped the entire day! What wonderful people to have in our Center and our world.

Hello From the Chinook Senior Center It seems that April came and went really fast! The Quilt Guild had their birthday party, here on Sat., April 26th and boy! There were some fabulous quilts, tables and prizes! I had the opportunity to stop down for a short bit with a few of my very dear friends, and we were all very impressed! Those ladies know how to sew! Nice job, quilters. Our Center was glad to be a part of this event. Helen Bucklin knows how to wrangle a team, for sure. Last year, as I looked around this Center and I saw so very many...

Hello From the Chinook Senior Center We trust that you all had a wonderful Easter celebration, with family and friends, celebrating Resurrection Sunday. The weather was cooperative this year, so I imagine that many eggs were hunted and that kept all of the kiddos happy and busy. I can remember many Easters when the snow was too deep for egg hunting. We lucked out, this year. May 2nd will be the end of the season Pinochle Marathon party, for the players who were in the league. This will be held at our Center @ 2:00 and is no longer a Potluck....
Q:What can I do to find relief from my worries? A: Mr. Graham has written: “Man has always been beset by worry, and the pressures of modern life have aggravated the problem … Many of you are filled with a thousand anxieties. Bring them to Jesus Christ by faith … I am learning in my own life, day by day, to keep my mind centered on Christ, and the worries and anxieties and concerns of the world pass away and nothing but ‘perfect peace’ is left in the human heart.” Stress, worry, and anxiety come when we do not trust the Lord fully to handle t...
On Sunday, April 13, the late State Senator Kenneth "Kim" Hansen from Harlem was memorialized, along with 23 others who served in the legislature during their lifetimes' and passed away during the last two years. The ceremony, which takes place in the House Chambers near the end of each legislative session, has remembrances for each being read by current and former members of the Legislature. Reading the remembrance for Senator Hansen was Kim's friend, Representative Paul Tuss from Havre....
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center Correction to the Pinochle Marathon end of season party: It will now be held at the Center on Friday, May 2nd @ 2:00, and is no longer a Potluck. All of the foods are taken care of. Please mark your calendars for this party. Our Center was absolutely filled to capacity and then some this past Saturday, for the reception of our beloved Mary Pyette. Carol Elliot was very helpful, and I was graced by the generosity of many of our Center volunteers, including Marcia Mohar, Betty Billmayer, Jen & Dale Wilderness...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center We have certainly had our share of sadness over the past couple of weeks. First we lost Virginia Olson and then, Mary Pyette. These two lovely ladies have been brightening up our Center for many, many years. We are fortunate enough to have photos galore, due to the tenacity of Mary Pyette. Mary left us literally thousands of photographs that we can treasure for years. It certainly won’t be the same without these ladies. Our Daffodil season is over, but we enjoyed those beautiful flowers of HOPE every s...

Hello From the Chinook Senior Center April is here and hopefully, with it will come many rain showers. We can always use moisture in this country. Last Friday, we had a tremendous amount of fun, with a full house of special birthday guests, including Loma Miller. What a nice surprise to see her here! She, naturally, brought lots of family members to join her. We are told that Donna Murdy is home and is doing well. She welcomes visitors, with notice, so that she may continue with her other obligations and appointments. Pat Murdy sent a nice...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center We are all excited to see the spring weather and many green things emerging from our recently frozen ground! We have been blessed by Kasie McIntosh and Debbie Ramberg, who have purchased many Daffodils (to support the Hope project) at Shore’s Floral and we have thoroughly enjoyed the beauty and aroma of these very special flowers in our Center. They are such a bright and happy flower. We will be sad when this month is over and we are no longer able to obtain these beauties. March is soon leaving us and we a...
A Class of 1974 Alumni of Chinook High School, Jerry Johnson, has donated over $2500 to the Chinook Pool and Park Project. His incredible donation is beyond humbling to the Board of Directors of the Friends of the Pool and Park Foundation. When asked about his donation, he states " It's on honor to contribute to the Pool project. Definitely, money well spent on a project that means a great deal to the Chinook community." Thank you so much Jerry, for your contribution to the project for the...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center All kinds of good fun around here! Irish music is playing as I am typing this week’s article. We are richly blessed by many wonderful people who enjoy spending their time and talents with us. Many of them play wonderful music, so if you aren’t here, you are missing out! Today we had Sheri Miller on keyboard, Gene Allen on guitar and vocals, Sheri Neuens on her penny whistle and Lynn Heggen on guitar and vocals. St. Urho (a fictional saint, created by people of Finnish descent in Minesota in the 50’s), other...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center We have had several people joining us for our Tuesday movie day. We originally had these scheduled on Wednesdays, however, we were “Hi-Jacked” by the Pinochle Marathon players, so for now, we are still Tuesdays. We normally begin our movie immediately after lunch. We will be painting our pots on the first day of Spring, which is Thurs. March 20th. These pots will be dried for the week and we will then plant them the following week. There is a $5.00 charge for this activity. We will be creating a Zion Acr...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center March is here and with it all of the different weather patterns that we can expect for Montana! We have all enjoyed some very unseasonably warm climates for several days, but I don’t think winter is quite done with us. Before you know it we will be celebrating the Risen Lord. Several different denominations celebrate Lent during this season, so, please know that we will offer a Fish alternative on each Friday, during this Lenton season. Just let us know that you will be observing Lent by not eating meat and...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center Well, here we go into March! I don’t think that winter is done with us, but who knows! We get what we get and we are thankful for all of the moisture. Probably not the subzero temperatures. The first day of Spring is March 20th. If you have lived in Montana very long, you know that Mother Nature can play lots of tricks on us. On March 20th, despite whatever Mother Nature brings….we will be having a “Spring Fling, Flower Thing”. This means that we will be painting flower pots to plant the following week. W...
You know, Lord, a friend said that ‘friend’ is used to define a person who knows all your faults but loves you anyway’; saying, she’d found a slip of paper in her Grandma’s Bible that listed a lot of words related to ‘friendship’. Grandma also mentioned that we were to remember that Jesus said: ‘Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid,’ - reminding us to check out JOHN 14:27.” ‘Elisa’ then asked’ “What WERE some of the words you were going to...
