We have not stopped working for one minute on this important project. Our latest grant from M.G. and Lillie A. Johnson Foundation for $25,000.00 has started Phase 2 off with a vengeance. The main building will be getting new floors, countertops and backsplash within the next month or so! How exciting is that? The entire amount for Phase 2 has not been raised yet, but we do have enough to get started with these new projects and they will go a long way in sprucing up that interior. We will still have painting inside and out, new tables and chairs, new stoves and landscaping to complete.

Work on Phase which covers the Pavilion cannot begin until December because of all the rental activity. Once that starts, it should take 2 months to complete that part of the renovations. Then the Pavilion will have more bathroom stalls, a new paint job, a new prep area, new chairs and tables and an improved kitchen area, plus much more.

Our next Fundraiser will be our second annual Clay Shoot on October 14, 2023 at the Pavilion. The entry fee for each 4 man/woman team is $800. There will be prizes, raffles and a silent auction. For entry information go to www.pocserviceclub.org. Last year was a sellout. Don’t wait too long to enter!
