Friends of the Library sponsored an interesting discussion on Thursday, April 9 re keeping our beaches clean. Actually, members of the POC Service Club under the leadership of Beth Coates and June Green engaged in that activity of cleaning the Front Beach every Monday morning after a weekend of fun. This went on for several years in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Following the work of the Service Club, various dedicated community residents continued to walk the beach, picking up trash.
The annual Spring Garage Sale by the POC Service Club is scheduled for Saturday, April 18, 2015 in the Pavilion of the Community Center. Beginning at 8:00 a.m. and continuing until 2:00 p.m., this is the opportunity to find that extra-special item you’ve been searching for. And once again those incredible bakers of the Service Club will be exhibiting their wares with many luscious looking and tasty cakes for sale. Don’t miss this event!
An interesting and possibly thought-provoking question for our female readers: which two women in public life do you admire and respect? And why? Write me at kubeckasue@yahoo.com with your answers; I will be quite interested in the replies.
Hurricane Junction is closing! Lost their lease. Closing Bell is Saturday, April 25. BUT a bigger and better Hurricane is being built at 2441 West Maple Street, and featuring all those wonderful hamburgers that Hoop is famous for. Newly in charge of the kitchen is Dalene Sagebiel Caffey, formerly of the Crazy Fisherman, and her culinary talents have already been sampled by many discerning customers with more to come. Matt Schelvon of South Texas Metal Works is in charge of the construction of the NEW Hurricane, and clearing of the lot has already started. Shuffleboard too will be featured. And a huge deck overlooking the Intercoastal displaying dockage for your boat, so you can stop and get a snack while still on the water. The Indian currently featured at the front door to welcome folks will be standing at the Front of the New Hurricane. After all, can’t leave him behind! Opening is scheduled for early June with an official date to be posted later.
Spring has finally arrived, but it looks as though it’s proceeding straight into Summer as many events start to pop with longer days. We’ve already had one fishing tournament several weeks ago, and the signs are up already for the Cula Roja later this year. But with warmer days and rain showers, we get those pesky mosquitoes, and I’ve been bitten several times. One bit of warmer days and rain puddles I’ve noticed is the usage of those puddles by the seagulls for a bath; they are totally delightful to watch as they dip their heads over and over in the water and let it run down their bodies.
