POC Community Service Club wants to invite you to our annual Spring Garage Sale. Saturday, April 9th from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. We will be selling unique finds and atypical treasures at extraordinary prices. You may find a cute outfit for the summer weather, an undiscovered antique, some much needed fishing gear or even a new chair. The items offered are all donated by POC folks and our neighbors, and never cease to amaze us in their variety and assortment. Plus, don’t forget the Bake Sale where you will find home baked goodies and Service Club Cookbooks for sale. All proceeds go to fund our scholarships and other community service projects, so you can feel good about shopping for a good cause.
At 12:00 noon we will begin our famous $1 Bag Sale. Shoppers will be able to fill up a large shopping bag with whatever amazing assets remain for just ONE DOLLAR PER BAG! Now, if you wait for the $1 bag sale you are sure to miss out on the special treats, but come back at noon and you are sure to find some budget belongings that you simply must make yours for a bargain price. It’s an epic sale and we are looking forward to seeing all of our friends and neighbors there supporting the Service Club and their ongoing projects.
Oh, and don’t worry. There is still time for you to donate your priceless surplus and extravagant extras to the garage sale. You may drop them off at the County barn just behind the JP office or bring them to the POC Community Center on Friday, April 8th before the sale. They will be added to the sale that gives back to our community.
Did you or someone you know attend POC Elementary and now are graduating with plans to go to college, trade or tech school? Then that is all it takes to be eligible to apply for the Service Club Scholarships. Contact your High School Counselor or a Service Club member to submit application for 2016 Scholarship awards. We love helping local kids become successful as they pursue their dreams.
There are many opportunities to be involved in our great little town. Stay informed so you can stay involved. The annual Easter Sunrise Service is a really special experience on our beautiful front beach that you don’t want to miss. Chamber, Lions, VFD, Friends of the Library and many others have activities in the near future.
So, until next time, be safe, live simply, love openly, forgive generously and remember what novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne said, “Every individual has a place to fill in the world and is important in some respect whether he chooses to be so or not.” Come join us, we can help you find your important place.
