Port O’Connor Ladies: Once again Bunco will be celebrated on Tuesday Evening, October 6, at 7:00 p.m. in the back room of the Community Center. And being the most outstanding Goblins of all here in POC, are Sally Jones and Biddie Hileman, the hostesses for this fun event. Do plan to attend this slightly scary event; and if you are new to Bunco, please call Shirley Gordon at the Library, 935-4365 to make arrangements to be in attendance that evening. BOOOOO!
As we all know, and those that have a younger resident in their home, school has started. Please, as a driver in our lovely area, be aware of the smaller residents crossing streets either on foot or on a bicycle. We have too many children, who somehow do not remain totally conscious of upcoming cars to pay attention. Therefore, it is necessary that we, the driver of the car, must be responsible to see that child nearing the end of the street.
For those of you that are looking forward with bated breath to the opening of that very new and totally delightful restaurant, Hooper’s Bar & Grill, be aware that it will be happening soonest. No specific date has been set, but it will be soon! And the restaurant menu is delightful; the incomparable Dalene Sagebiel Caffey is in charge once again!
The very last and the largest of all our fishing tournaments will be that honoring Chris Ragusin on October 2nd and 3rd. This tournament has been dedicated to the memory of Chris for ten years, and this one will be the last. Calvin and Sally Ragusin, his parents, have worked with many of our residents in putting this tournament together each year. But much of the kudos goes to those totally dedicated people who have organized this celebration each year. Those in charge are Amy Gosnell and Sylvia Rodriguez, but the group of people they have “coerced” into helping to do everything is phenomenal. We’re talking about people who have worked with local organizations to provide items for the Silent Auction; to others who give food for the Dinner; to just plain people who work the tables selling memorable T-shirts and food tickets year after year. And then to the organizations and people that the income from this event supports; this event has “filled the holes” that those who are in need have. A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL.
