With March coming up right around the corner, Port O’Connor will be coming alive again. It’s been a cold and very quite winter. I think things will definitely begin picking up with the warming of the weather.

If you know of someone graduating in 2015, please remind them, there are really quite a few scholarship available from organizations in our community. The Scholarship application should be available for pick up at Calhoun High School at Ms. Meyers office at the end of this month and are to be returned completed by March 27, 2015. The Chamber gives one $500.00 Scholarship each year.

The Chamber is currently working on projects for 2015. These volunteers are striving to make upcoming events bigger and better than ever before. If you are interested in joining the community with their projects, please contact us.

The 2015 membership applications will be in the mail in a couple weeks. If you prefer to pay dues online, go to portoconnorchamber.org and click on Join Chamber, fill out the application and pay with Paypal or mail application with check.

The Chamber’s new and updated website is now up and running. Business members, please check your listing to make sure it is as you want it to be. Please do not hesitate to contact us to correct something if needed. We are here to help you.

It’s only a little over two months until the Annual Crawfish Cookoff & Festival. There is still need for more volunteers and if you want to be a vendor, the info is on our website and also there is a Facebook page. Mark your calendar—May 2,2015–10 a.m.-7 p.m.
