So much excitement is in the air at the Community Center now that we have reached our goal for the first phase of our FACELIFT PROJECT. Work will not begin until late fall when rentals are more sparse for the pavilion, but big changes are being planned. The biggest change will be the addition of 4 more stalls in each restroom. That will be a much needed improvement. There will also be more storage space, a food prep area, improvements to the small kitchen, a new pull down counter door, paint, sidewalks, new tables (20 being donated by the POC Community Service Club) and chairs, plus other repairs and cleaning. If you have been a contributor to this much needed undertaking, THANK YOU SO MUCH. It won’t be long before things will start to happen at the Pavilion.
We are not resting on our laurels! We have already been working on plans for PHASE II which is the main building. Bids have been received and grants and fundraisers are in the works. The tentative amount we are hoping to raise for this part is $75,000.00. No construction is planned for the main building. The kitchen will get new appliances, counter tops and paint. New flooring will be installed throughout the building. The youth room will get new counter tops and all will be painted. This is just a partial list. There are outside improvements that are planned as well.
Our next planned fundraiser will be our second annual, bigger and better. CLAY SHOOT on October 13-14, 2023. If you participated last year, you certainly want to enter again this year. More details will be available as we get closer to fall. Mark your calendars now so you won’t forget.
We take donations anytime and they are very much appreciated. This project benefits our small community in so many ways. Organizations that rent the complex bring much needed revenue into POC. People are able to use it for free for community meetings, funerals, senior citizen luncheons, and so much more. This complex is the cornerstone of POC. Help us insure it is here for many years to come. Take donations to POC First National Bank or mail to PO Box 812, POC, 77982. Please make checks payable to POC Community Center Fund, Inc. Payments can be made online through PAYPAL,POC Communty Center. Become a supporter of the FACELIFT PROJECT and donate today.
