An extremely short meeting of the POC Service Club was held on Thursday, July 3, 2014 at the Community Center. Short, as this was the day before our Independence Day, and many of our members were either on vacation or preparing for house guests. Additionally, short because of the absence of our President, Janet Johnson.
In Janet’s absence, Vice President Carol Haverfield ably conducted the meeting which consisted of a discussion involving the space available in the County Barn for additional donations for our next Garage Sale in October. However, rumors to the contrary, after speaking with that hardworking member who sorts and boxes all donations, there is still SPACE available at this time. So, any individual who wishes to make a donation of no longer desired items but those in good condition, please contact either Chairman, Peggy Elliott 983-2165 or her helpers Kay Middleton, 983-2257 , Debbie Busby 512 914-9521 or Marie Hawes 983-2241. Either one of them will be available to meet you at the County Barn, the building adjacent to the Library, and arrange for disposition of your donations. And thank you for your assistance in the future; these donations of items are what make our Garage Sale so successful and create the monies needed for our various activities.
The membership was informed that our President, Janet Johnson had undergone emergency abdominal surgery on the previous week which removed her gall bladder and stopped a prevailing life-threatening intestinal infection. Sadly, Janet is spending her birthday in the hospital, but she is now been moved to a private room after spending several days in the ICU. She will remain in the hospital for another week; and hopefully, will be returning home for convalescence on or about the end of this month. As a stay in the hospital over your birthday or at any other time is not the best place to be for several weeks despite excellent care, and somewhat lonesome too, Janet will happily receive any cards or news that her friends would like to forward to her. Her home address is POB 193, POC 77982, and her daughter will be extremely pleased to forward your good wishes to her prior to her return home.
Sue Kubecka, Chairman of the Historical Book committee, had announced that she’d received an extraordinary photograph of the old red barn as located on Washington Street from a former resident. However, as this is just one of several photographs received, and many more are needed for our Book from our earlier residents and their friends, please search your old albums, boxes, and other places where a photo prior to Carla could be lurking. She will have the photos professionally copied and returned to your home, and if you’d like another copy of that photo, that can be arranged too. Please contact Sue at 361 798-0560 or pob 255 POC 77982 with any information you might have. And thanks so much in advance for your help in making this project a success.
The next meeting of the POC Service Club is scheduled for Thursday, August 7, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. in the Community Center. We welcome all interested women in this area who desire to be a part of the continuing changes throughout our community as propounded by our Club as well as other organizations. Contact Membership Chairman, Shirley Gordon at the Library, 983-4365, for more information. Hope to see all your smiling faces on the 7th!
