The workday on Thursday, March 3 was a great success. About a dozen ladies came and stayed to help. All ceiling fans were cleaned and all cobwebs swept down in the whole building. The back youth room was completed: cabinets cleaned, baseboards cleaned, walls cleaned, chairs washed. Kitchen area was cleaned and all cabinets cleaned and organized.

Vernon Thumann and Virgil Redding power-washed the whole building, patio area and drive through area last Sunday. What a difference it has made! Looks really nice. (Great job, guys!) and free of charge to the community.

Gary Alford, owner of Southern Landscaping of Seadrift reworked the sprinkler system heads and fixed a leak in the system. (Thanks a lot!)

Marilyn Giessel and Shelly Gasch did a terrific job on new landscaping posts and will be putting in new rope. John Pitonyak dug holes for the posts, which were donated by King Fisher Marine. All of this hard work and expense was donated to the Port O’Connor community.

Well, we are glad the first work day went so well because the second one was a flop. One person showed up. One of the new stoves was put in and some more of the baseboards in the big hall were cleaned.

Nicholas Gonzales has been trimming the shrubs and plants in the front of the building for several days.

We’ll be letting you know the progress of the Community Center and our clean up efforts in the next paper.
