Some members of the Friends of Port O’Connor Library Advisory Council toured the site of the proposed new library.

Some members of the “Friends” Advisory Council joined the “Friends” Board of Directors for a February 11, Saturday morning tour of the site designated for our new library in Port O’Connor.

Joanie Morgan, Vice-President, conducted the tour and explained where the library would be located on the donated property just to the side of where the current library stands.

After this, the group headed back to the library and some time was spent on bringing the Advisors up-to-date on the status of this exciting project.
Judy Whitworth, President, spoke about the progress that has been made and that a floor plan was coming together and consulting with potential contractors and grant writing is underway.

Ursula Price, Treasurer, shared some budgetary and financial stats and on behalf of the Board of Directors thanked Jim Hooper, who was in attendance, for his ongoing and enthusiastic support for fundraising through his annual Chili/Gumbo Cook-off.

Then, everyone was treated to some yummy food in a colorful setting. Joanie did a great job in displaying the fare in a Valentine’s Day venue! She also had seven single-rose vases that were given out to those holding a winning ticket. All in all, a good time for library updates, delicious refreshments, and camaraderie!
