We are busier than ever continuing to raise money to complete the Facelift Project on the POC Community Center. Thanks to hours of hard fundraising efforts by our board of directors and much needed help from the POC Chamber of Commerce, we were able to raise the $150,000.00 needed for Phase 1 in less than 9 months. Now we are hard at work on Phase 2.

In July and August we have already had two fundraisers and several generous donations. The Mullet Invitational hosted by the Couch family has been very supportive of our project throughout the whole process and they continue to be. We were able to raise money at their free community concert on July 29 at Sharkey’s. Julie Thomas hosted an on line Pampered Chef Party to help raise money for our cause. The Midcoast Smackdown Tournament made a generous donation to the Project and Susan Wallace named the Community Center as one of the recipients of her community support endeavors. These will all go toward Phase 2 which covers the main building of the complex. It will receive new flooring throughout, new kitchen appliances, countertops, paint, landscaping and new tables and chairs. All of this is projected to cost $75,000.00.

Our next fundraiser is Saturday, October 14, at the POC Community Center. It is the Second Annual Clay Shoot and all proceeds go to the Facelift Project. The entry fee for each 4 man team is $800.00 and there will be a Flurry, Raffles and an Awards Ceremony. Call or text Maeghen at 512-608-8388 for details. Our first one last year was a big success and we have decided to make it an annual event.

Support your community by making an investment in the future of POC. The Community Center is an important asset in the economy of our area. Your donation insures it will be here for years to come. Donations can be made at POC First National Bank or on PayPal. Make a difference!
