Meetings: The Service Club meets the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of every month, with its next meetings being October 6, 2022, and October 20, 2022; at 10:00 AM at the POC Community Center. If you are interested in joining this fun, hardworking group, please feel free to contact one of the ladies listed below, or visit one of our meetings and check us out. All Ladies are welcome!
New Project: The Service Club is proud to announce that its new Community-wide Project for 2022 will be the funding and facilitation of the much requested, and long anticipated, “Pickle Ball Courts” at the POC Community Center Pavilion. For those who may not know, “Pickleball” is one of the most popular and fastest growing sports in America. The reason “Pickle Ball” is so popular, is that it requires very little skill or athleticism, is easy to play, and all ages can participate. The Community Center Pavilion is the perfect facility for “Pickle Ball” because it provides protection during inclement weather, and is large enough to handle two courts end to end, which will allow two games to be played at the same time, and more people to participate. In addition, the game can be played with doubles or singles, whichever is desired. The “Pickle Ball” Equipment has been ordered, and we will provide the Community with more details as soon as the equipment arrives and the courts at the Pavilion are ready. We also hope to enlist a professional instructor who can come out to give lessons to those who are interested. The Service Club is happy to once again give something back to the POC Community that its citizens can use and enjoy, thus enhancing all that is good about our beautiful POC Community. Please Stay Tuned!
Farmers Market: Please continue to support the Service Club’s Booth at the Farmers Market, held the second Saturday of every month, next one being Saturday, October 8, 2022. We have a variety of homemade breads and sweets, plants, hand crafted items, and, of course, our “Service Club Cookbooks“!! There is something for everyone, so please stop by!
Clay Shoot: Come One, Come All!!!
