Bunco! Bunco! Bunco!
PLEASE NOTE: The Bunco group of fun-loving ladies will now be meeting in the back room of the Community Center, and our next evening of spectacular playing will be Tuesday, May 3rd at 7:00 p.m. There are only two requirements for participating: $5.00 gets you in the door, and you need the ability to count the spots on a pair of dice. Also, being able to talk while playing helps. Contact Shirley Gordon at the Library, 983-4365 for further information. And if you decide to come, bring a friend too!
Here in the Library we have just received several boxes of books that have been donated. As some of them are duplicates of those on our shelves, they will be put up for sale. We sell hardcover books for $1.00 each and soft cover for only 25 cents. Not much if you are going on vacation or a long trip and need something to read. Our thanks to the donor of these books. The sale of these books goes to provide some extras for our Library that is not covered in our budget.
The area West of Hurricane Junction is in the process of change; have you seen the new signs on the Gulf RV place at Maple and 15th? Then, down the street, there is a huge amount of site work with one street finished on the old Baroid property; question is: what will the finished property be? And, the old Shell Shop, further down Maple, has just received a new paint job.
Speaking of paint, the Tarpon Inn is undergoing a complete transformation; new paint with a color scheme of blue and yellow, truly Coastal colors; rehabbing the motel rooms along Maple and a complete transformation of the apartments along 13th. It’s been fun watching the day by day work.
Easter is almost here, and if you’re planning your special menu, check out Shane’s in Seadrift for the very best in meats. Speaking with him, he mentioned that he had baby back ribs on sale; this was not my original plan for dinner, but then, why not? Besides, I get Henry to do the cooking, or some of it!
The Service Club’s Garage Sale has ended; it was a lot of work, but a lot of satisfaction, too. And the income from it will go for scholarships for local graduates plus several other projects that the Club supports each year.
With talk of closing of the school in Point Comfort, we, here in Port O’Connor, are still uncertain as what changes will happen. Hopefully, nothing earth shattering, and if some deletions happen, perhaps some of our talented residents can pick up the slack. If interested in being of help, contact our principal, Lydia Strakos.
You almost believe that summer has arrived as the temperature is hitting the 80’s, but then when the wind comes up, it gets a little cool. Oh, well, soon we’ll be complaining about the heat! But the something wonderful about POC — you feel as though you’re on vacation every day!
