The ladies of the POC Service Club stay busy throughout the summer, with their meetings and projects, all of which benefit the POC Community!
Meetings: During summer months, the Service Club meets only the first Thursday of each month- July 7, 2022; and August 4, 2022. If you are interested in joining this hardworking, fun-loving group, please contact one of the ladies listed below. All are welcome!
Warriors Weekend Flags and Cakes: The Service Club was happy to contribute to the activities of Warriors Weekend, and would like to thank Robbie Hawes, Thomas Hawes, Maddie Hawes, Evan Clifton, and Otto Haardt for putting out the Club’s 120 flags down Hwy 185 from the Community Center to FM 1289, and Lea Ann Ragusin and Ursula Price for putting our flags in front of the Community Center. The Club’s ladies also baked 43 cakes for the Warriors and their Families for this wonderful event.
Community Center Sign: The Club has ordered, and is anxiously awaiting the delivery and installation of the new sign for the Community Center. We have not been given a definite arrival date from the manufacturer yet, but are hoping it will be soon.
Palm Tree Replacement: The Club is participating in the “POC Beach Beautification Project”, which consists of individuals, and civic groups who are working with Calhoun County to replace palm trees lost in the 2021 February freeze at Front Beach and on Washington Blvd.
Cookbooks: Back by popular demand, the Service Club will be bringing back the three editions of our Service Club Cookbooks! The first edition had the tan cover, the second edition had the white cover, and the third edition had the blue cover. Cookbooks will be available at our Farmer’s Market Booth as soon as the publisher ships them to us!!
Farmers Market: Please continue to support the Service Club’s Booth at the Farmers Market, held the second Saturday of every month, the next ones being July 9, 2022 and August 13, 2022. We always have a variety of homemade breads and sweets, plants, ceramics, hand crafted items, and soon to be “Service Club Cookbooks“, etc. There’s something for everyone, so please stop by!
