Fundraisers are continuing for the Facelift Project at the POC Community Center. On Saturday, November 19, at Josie’s Mexican Restaurant, there is a Turkey Cook off with proceeds going to benefit this undertaking. Besides lots of good food and fun, there will be a Silent Auction, Raffle and games. Come out for the festivities and contribute to a worthy cause at the same time. A big THANK YOU to the Port O’Connor Community Service Club for collecting and/or donating most of the items for the silent auction. They have worked very hard on all the events so far to raise money for this project.

The Port O’Connor community came together originally to build the complex almost 25 years ago. Now it is in need of some TLC. Phase one will be work on the Pavilion. The goal for this part of the project is $150,000.00. The two small fundraisers we have had so far and individual donations have raised approximately $ 16,000.00.
Slowly, but surely, we will reach our goal for Phase I, and once that work is completed, we can concentrate on Phase II which will include the community center itself. Consider what you can do to help preserve this important part of our town “at the end of the road”. Get involved to save the community center.

Other fundraisers are planned for next year. Stay tuned for details. If you would like to donate, you can drop contributions off at FIRST NATIONAL BANK in POC or online at PayPal for portoconnorcommunitycenter@gmail.com
