POC Dollar General Has A Request
As you know, from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. daily is senior shopping hour.
Since we have been out of the essential items for days, I have an idea. Please share!
In order to continue to help our most precious, fragile young at heart, we would like to make Thursday morning (the day after truck) a special POC Rocks Senior Shopping Hour.
I don’t want any of our seniors to have to worry about coming out Wednesday just because they are afraid nothing will be left.
Wednesday I am going to put aside some of each of the essential products for our special Thursday Morning Senior Shopping Trip. I just need everyone to understand that I have no way of knowing how much I am getting or how many seniors will come Thursday morning, so I may still run out! Since we all have seen the power of Port O’Connor, I challenge anyone reading this to join me on Thursday and help someone!
If anyone wants to purchase and donate any items on Wednesday I would be glad to hand them out on Thursday morning!
There are so many ways you can help!
1. Offer to bring someone to the store
2. Shop for someone that can’t get out.
3. Give one of your extra toilet paper, paper towels, soap, water etc. to someone in need.
4. Ask someone if they need something done for them. You get the idea!

“Virus Hits Home”
Wash your hands, use plenty of soap. Stay away from crowds. Old people are in danger. They can not fight off the virus and could die.
Seadrift Church leaders hope to bring people together.
Will God keep you safe? Will you be with God’s people at these meetings on our beautiful San Antonio bay front?
My advice – God expects you to use “common sense”.
P.S. In the past, a virus like this did hit Seadrift and other places. Dr. Oscar Ryon was the doctor that treated ut, Mrs, Tom Dowda had it, then she helped Dr. Ryon to nurse the other very sick people.
People did die with it back then.

Thank You from Scouts
Seadrift Boy/Cub Scouts Pack 106 would like to thank everyone for their support and helping make our 41st Annual BBQ successful! Due to the large number of individuals who helped, it is impossible to name each one individually to thank them. Thank you for the outstanding brisket Pit Master Rudy Morales and family, wonderful beans Fred Mendez and family and Mark Daigle for being our auctioneer. We would like to thank the business owners and individuals who graciously donated to help our Scouts BBQ. Thank you to all the individuals who bought BBQ plates and bought auction items. We sold over 1,200 plates. There aren’t words to describe how thankful the Seadrift Scouts are for your generosity. The proceeds will provide the boys with opportunities to attend numerous campus, purchase items to give back to the community during service projects, and participate in various community service activities. The Boy Scout Hall will continue to have maintenance work done to ensure its upkeep. With our Troop/Pack growing each year, this past year the Seadrift Scouts were able to purchase a storage building to help store camping supplies, community project items, and scout materials. Seadrift Boy Scout Troop 106 is grateful for the amount of support from ours and the surrounding communities!

March 24, 2020:
U.S. Senate Democrats just defeated (along party lines) an emergency relief bill.
Instead they are pushing a bill to do the following:
• Fund Planned Parenthood permanently
• Provide additional funds for research that uses aborted baby organs
• Force corporations to embrace LGBT leadership on their boards
• Force airlines to also include a union representative on their boards
• Nationalize elections, including same-day vote registration
• Fund expensive elements of the Green New Deal regarding carbon emissions and force taxpayers to buy old airplanes
• When millions of Americans are out of work, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is pushing to automatically extend foreign work visas, limiting Americans’ ability to get back to work.
