BUNCO! The next Bunco Party will be Tuesday evening, September 6th at 7:00 p.m. in the back room of the Community Center. Call Shirley Gordon at the Library for further information, 983-4365. This is an amazing group of fascinating women that play Bunco each month; ages ranging from 20’s to _____! We all have a great deal of fun, checking with everyone to see the latest trip, story or event in their lives. Our hostesses will be Biddie Hileman and Sally Jones; in the past they have provided great surprises, so this should be a Fun evening.
The Service Club and the POC History Book Committee are searching for a picture of the ranch house on the LaSalle Ranch preferably back in the 40’s. If anyone has a photo in their possession and will lend it to be copied, please contact either Sue Kubecka, 798-0560 or Janet Johnson, 983-4733.
Though fishing tournaments seem to occur every weekend this Summer, the best is yet to come. And that is the Grand Slam Memorial in honor of Chris Ragusin. It will be held on the 7th and 8th of October. Do mark that weekend on your calendar. You won’t be disappointed!
School started Monday to the delight of many mothers and the mixed emotions of their children. Please watch out for them as you drive through our intersections; the kids will be somewhat excited about their classes and may not be paying full attention to cars.
Last month I mentioned that Hoop had a new writing on his sign at Hurricane Junction; “Save Water, Drink Beer”, and following the morning that the slogan was exhibited, we had a small rain shower. Well, this is the end of August, and we’ve had no rain for a long time. So, Hoop, can you come up with another slogan that will produce rain? Or do you know a rain dancer?
Returning to POC after several days’ absence, you tend to see everything in a different light. It’s almost as though each tree, house, store, boat has a black line around it; it’s so much clearer. You really see the brightness of colors on a house, the wonderful green of a flowering bush, or, for me, the stack of books in the Library waiting to be reshelved! Now that’s a welcome!
