POC Service Club is busy behind the scenes with summer projects and fun. Helping out with Chamber projects, teaching at Bible School and volunteering around our community, club members stay active. Many have also hosted family, entertained friends and traveled this summer. Service Club has only one monthly meeting throughout the summer months, but our service continues.

The Service Club Garage Sale is set for October 1, the community BBQ Cook-off benefitting the Friends of the Library will be jointly hosted by Chamber, Service Club and Friends in November, the annual Service Club Christmas Luncheon will be December 1, and Toy Run and arrives December 2nd. So, even with one monthly meeting, our committees are working and we remain busy and on track for several upcoming projects.

Maybe you would like to help. Do you have a donation of clothing or goods for our next garage sale? The County building behind the library is available for storage of those donations. Feel free to drop them off M-TH and we will put them to good use. If you need help coordinating donations, please call Marie Hawes at 361-920-2322 or Diane Cooley at 903-467-6335.

Do you have talents to share or time to donate to others? Come to our August meeting and be a part of all we are working towards. It’s a fun group with the goal of giving back in our community. You will find we welcome women of all ages and stages of life and abilities and enjoy serving together.

So until next time, be safe, live simply, love openly, forgive generously and remember this quote by one of my favorite authors, Dr. Seuss. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it’s not.” Come and care a lot with us!
