The next Bunco Party will be Tuesday evening, October 4h 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, and even enjoy playing! Our hostesses will be Joyce Jordan, Mary Ann Claiborne and Shirley Gordon; with that trio, there should be an excellent display of goodies!
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 have occurred every weekend this Summer, the best is yet to come. And that is the Grand Slam Memorial Tournament in honor of Chris Ragusin. It will be held on the 7th and 8th of October. Do mark that weekend on your calendar. Planned are several auctions and a superb dinner following the weigh in on Saturday! You won’t be disappointed!
The Sports Association met on Sept. 19th and almost had a full house of interested people re the aims of this organization. Hopefully, this turnout will continue and really grow larger to work with this group. I’ve heard that one of the items for the agenda should be consideration of a swimming pool for the community. Granted it will require constant maintenance but should it not be thought of?
Lions Club are having once again an Ice Cream Social with bingo playing to follow. What a delightful way to combat our very warm Summer evenings! The day is Saturday, September 24th, the place is the Luncheon Room of our school, and it begins at 7:00 p.m., which gives you time to prepare dinner. Or if you don’t have the time, there’s plenty of ice cream available. And just melting a little waiting for you to get there!
Do hope that many of you readers were able to stop by and wish Joyce Rhyne a very happy birthday on Monday, the 19th. Believe me, she deserves the well wishes.
AND DON’T FORGET: THE SERVICE CLUB’S GARAGE SALE ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15th! I can almost guarantee that you will find that little something you’ve been seeking. If not, you’ll find something else quite as special. And do come and check out the baked goods; this group of women are known throughout the County as being exceptional bakers. Are your mouths watering, yet?
Unfortunately, I’ve been suffering from a bad headache for a week; this really meant that “NO WAY” was I gonna think about cooking! So, Henry got to remake his acquaintance with Art’s BBQ; the food is still as good as ever though we do miss the old building!
Over a previous weekend, the POC cowboys were at work; moving cattle from the Island to a trailer parked at the Fishing Center. Though I’m from California and knew a few cowboys on the local ranches, I do get an extreme kick out of watching the cattle being moved by a boat! Just hope I got a decent picture! Talking about items for pix, have you checked out lately the enormous piles of oyster shells across from Clark’s? Guess that means that us residents really enjoy our oysters!
Do put the following date on your calendars! Saturday, October 29th is the date of the annual Halloween celebration at the school – the parade of costumed kids begins somewhat early, but the most fun is seeing the kids in their costumes walking around before the parade. Do come and cheer your favorite kid or class!
