Bunco met Tuesday, January 8th, 2013 with hostesses Diane Cooley and Pat Ekstrom. Please contact Shirley Gordon at the Library for further information. And in February, the 5th, Biddie Hileman and Sally Jones will be co-hostesses. As these two really put on a display of food and decorations, and that Valentine’s Day is later that month, the results will once again be amazing! Don’t miss this evening of pure enjoyment and do call Shirley for more info!
The next meeting of the POCSA meeting will be Monday, January 21st at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Center. Contact Calvin Ragusin at 655-0498 for further information; membership in this worthwhile organization is only $10.00 per year and we need your assistance!
Wonder if my wish of the extra-kindness and pleasantness from strangers in the stores will carry over this month and next?
And our Lions Club is asking for vendors to participate in their Spring Arts & Crafts Fair as scheduled for March 16, 2013. Of course, one thinks it’s really too early to plan, but March is just 1 ½ months away! Contact Joyce Jordan, President, 655-7999 if you think you’d like to have a booth as she needs to get commitments ASAP.
With the change of our newspaper only being printed once a month, a reminder to the members of the POC Service Club is due. The meeting on Thursday, January 3rd was canceled due to the sickness of many members including our President.
And if you missed the regular meeting on Thursday, the 17th, please note that we are now back to our regular schedule of two meetings a month, on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays at 10:00 a.m. Hope to see you then!
Getting together with several other women about what to do with all that turkey resulted in several very tasty ideas; Pat Ekstrom makes a turkey casserole with French green beans and dressing topped with cream of mushroom soup, and Janet Johnson’s vote is for a good turkey pot pie with lots of sauce. If any reader has another memorable recipe, please pass it along.
A note for party planners: If you’re thinking about a party of any size, do contact the folks at Jocelyn’s for a party tray of goodies. They will be more than happy to work with you for any size of tray needed and with a variety of delicious foods too.
WHAT A SMALL WORLD WE LIVE IN! And I can really testify to that! I was walking down Chartres Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans when my phone rang. Thinking it was from my husband wondering where on earth I was (although you really can’t just hike down any street in the French Quarter without looking in the windows of all the shops), I didn’t pay any attention to the readout on my phone. Answering it, I was questioned “Is this the Liquor Store in Port O’Connor?” Well, that was a bit of a shock so, of course, I said “No”. And then I was re-questioned, and once again, I denied it. And started asking questions of my own, and the answers I received were even more unbelievable. It seems this gentleman was on-line, and had a copy of the Dolphin Talk before him with my review of the POC Liquor Store as owned by Noral McCauley and managed by Janet Johnson. He picked up my name and phone number from the ending of the review. And when I asked him if he was calling from Victoria, he said, “No, he was in Puerta Vallarta”! I’d say that the fame of our area has grown and grown; this gentleman told me that he owns a house here in POC and that he planned to be here later this year. I definitely want to meet this traveler!
