The POC Service Club has some fun plans for the coming weeks. We have a Family Movie Night at the POC Community Center Pavilion planned for Spring Break Week. A new release movie, snack and drinks and fun entertainment all for free will be enjoyed by children old and young alike. The movie will start around 7:30 p.m. depending on sunset; and a few fun games and treats are planned for the gathering crowd while we get ready. The Service Club is proud to partner with Chick Flicks of Victoria for this event. They will set up a big screen and quality projection for the best experience. They rent out the gear for private gatherings and children’s parties, and are graciously working with our organization at a reduced cost to benefit our community. Chairs will be allowed in back and blanket pallets will be encouraged up front, so grab your cushiest pillows and join us for this fun family event. Food and drinks will be offered, so please no coolers.
The annual spring Garage Sale is set for April 8th. We are still taking donations of quality used household goods and clothing for our sale. Your donation will add to our success, so if you require help moving donated items, please call Linda Orrick at 719-650-33433 or Diane Cooley at 903-467-6335 to make arrangements. Please do not leave donations at the County Service Barn any longer.
Graduating seniors who attended POC elementary and are now planning for college or trade school in their future are eligible to apply for the 2017 POC Service Club Scholarships. If you need to apply, see your school counselor or check with any club member for details. Don’t wait or it will be too late.
Spring Break will be busy and spring activities like Little League and 4H are gearing up. The Easter Sunrise Service at Kingfisher Beach will be April 16th, and POC Service Club members are pleased to be a part of the Chamber’s Crawfish Festival coming up April 29th. You won’t want to miss the fun and great food at this event. It only happens once a year, so mark your calendar. The monthly Dolphin Talk Newspaper can keep you informed and their Facebook pages hold lots of information in between publication dates. So, sign on and get involved.
The Port O’Connor Community Service Club requires no vetting and has no party affiliation, we have no dress code and bare feet are welcome if that is your thing. Dues are cheap, coffee is free and the friendship is warm and open. You would be welcome to join us. We meet twice monthly at the POC Community Center, 10:00 a.m. every 1st and 3rd Thursday. There is plenty of work and plenty of fun to go around.
So, until next time, be safe, live simply, love openly, forgive generously and remember this quote by the magnificent actress and philanthropist Ms. Audrey Hepburn who said, “Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older you will discover you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” The only supplies you need to bring are your two hands and we will help you find a place to use them.
