Thank You to the Red Snapper Round Up for the generous donation to the Chamber which will be used for projects within our community. We also appreciate the gift from Fishing for Whit Fishing Tournament which will be used for the Community Center Renovation Project.
Speaking of the Renovation Project, we recently participated in the Taco Thursday kick-off fundraising event at the community center. The turnout was great, and the food was wonderful. Thanks to all who attended! We appreciate your support as this is an important project for our community.
Texas Parks & Wildlife recently sent out an email reminding everyone that the new fishing season started September 1st. Make sure you obtain a current license prior to heading out on the water. You can get your license right here in town at Marty’s Landing or POC Rod & Gun.
Here are a few things we are currently working on for the remainder of the year: Our Trunk or Treat event will be held Saturday October 29th and include a dog costume contest again this year. The Poker Run will be held the Saturday after Thanksgiving November 26th, the annual Boat Parade and Toy Run will be Saturday, December 3.
The Board of Directors has made the decision not to host the annual Christmas Party and instead focus our efforts on the Casino Membership Appreciation event which will be held after the first of the year. We will have our annual Chamber business meeting which will be held December 12th.
Our deepest condolences to the family of Rusty Tronicek who recently passed away. Rusty’s Charters has been a Chamber member for several years and Port O’ Connor will miss him dearly.
We welcome our new and renewing members for this month, Port O’ Connor Improvement District and RV Mobile Repair LLC. Business memberships have been discounted to $50 through the end of the year.
Our meetings are the second Monday of the month at 6:30 at the Port O’Connor Library Multipurpose room. We welcome everyone to come out and get involved.
