POC Women’s Service Club is growing and serving our community. Our Beach Bike Rack is almost ready to be installed, the Pet Potty Station has been ordered. The bi-annual Community Garage Sale is almost here, and we are preparing for this important fund raiser. Your treasures await, your bargains are ready, so plan to join us at the POC Community Center on Saturday, April 18th from 8-2. The bag sale will be at 12 Noon this year. We are still looking for quality homegoods, furniture, décor and clothing for this sale, as well as volunteers to help with set up and clean up for the sale. Call Marie Hawes for information. 361-920-2322.

The Service Club has some very exciting news. We are sponsoring a POC Locator Map on the newly remodeled Kingfisher Beachfront. This map will have special markers for businesses and services in our community along with contact information. Visitors and locals alike can locate you through our map. For a small charge you can get big impact. Contact a service club member to be included or look for them to visit your business real soon.

If you cook at all, you need a Service Club Cookbook. The last printing of the previous cookbook is on sale now. These recipes have been time tested and community approved, so get yours now. When they are gone, they are gone, but fear not, new cooking acumen is coming. We are proceeding with the project of collecting and editing recipes for a new club cookbook to be produced in the near future. Have a family favorite? Share your recipe with a club member and you might make the cut for the new edition.

Our garage sale proceeds will again fund our local youth scholarships to be awarded this spring. To see if you qualify, check with your school counselor for more information. You can’t be awarded any scholarship you do not apply for, so apply soon!

We invite all interested women to join our club and get in on the fun. We meet the 1st and 3rd Thursday during the school year, and the 1st Thursday during summer months at the POC Community Center. All interested are invited to visit and see if you would like to join us.

So, until next time, be safe, live simply, love openly, forgive generously and remember what the amazing Anne Frank said “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” Your time has come. Join the improvement movement!
