A short meeting of the POC Service Club as ably conducted by our Vice President, Carol Haverfield, was held on Thursday, August 7, 2014 at the Community Center. Short, as many of our members were on the last vacation of the summer, and short because of the absence of our President, Janet Johnson who has spent the last two months in the hospital following major surgery. However, it was announced that Janet is on her way home today, which news was greeted with cheers and applause. Greeting each member were several balloons placed on their chairs as they entered the room; and each person was then informed that any hot air available was to be used to blow up the balloons. They were then erected at the front porch of her home giving her a definite welcome back!
Alyse Munsch was then introduced as a guest speaker to inform the Club members of the fund she has created for Janet’s aid while she will be recuperating and unable to work. Sadly, bills continue to come in; they don’t seem to recognize that no money is coming in either. Following the information and discussion, the membership voted to make a donation for Janet’s use.
An announcement was made that the next Garage & Bake Sale has been scheduled for Saturday, November 8, 2014. It will be held once again in the Pavilion of the Community Center.
The next meeting of the POC Service Club is scheduled for Thursday, September 4, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. in the Community Center. This is the first meeting of our new year at which time we will be apprised of the slate of officers as selected by the Nominating Committee and also nominations from the floor will be accepted with the election of officers following. Additionally, at that time, our yearly dues of $5.00 then become payable prior to voting on officers. 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 4th !
