The August 5th meeting of the Bunco Group was canceled suddenly due to the illness of hostess Iris Shuh’s husband. Hostesses for September 2nd To-Do have not been announced, but whoever takes over, I’m certain they will have lively imaginations for Back To School time. For further information concerning this fun group, contact Shirley Gordon at our Library.
As August is now here with Labor Day following, the Chamber’s celebration of Labor Day Beach Bash is planned for the Labor Day Weekend at the Front Beach with lots of entertainment. Check out the overhead banner on the highway and our paper for further information.
The Service Club’s cookbooks aptly named, THE END OF THE ROAD! are available at both Sisters’ and Speedy Stop for purchase at a very low price. There are now 3 issues of these delightful books; the first in brown cover, the second in blue, and the third in red! Recipes have been compiled for many years from those of our earlier members to favorites from the latter day members, and each recipe has been tested and re-tested to make certain all ingredients are in the proper amounts. And that it tastes good! Try them, you won’t be disappointed and they make great birthday and Christmas gifts from our incredible area. And if you’re looking for a particular recipe and want to try it before buying the cookbooks, check out our Library; we have all three books.
Fishing Tournaments here in POC keep coming and coming; would you believe that on one weekend there were 3 tournaments?!!!!
Our very special lady, Janet Johnson is returning home after major abdominal surgery and a two month stay in the hospital. Janet has been unable to work for this period of time, but the bills do not stop coming. Alyse Munsch at our local Liquor Store has set up a fund available for Janet to cover some of these bills. This fund was started last week, and within a very short amount of time, over $1,200 has been raised to help Janet. Our Community is one that somehow always helps and never forgets; there have been several persons/families in need during the last several months, but somehow we residents always find that little extra to help someone else. To those who have given, individuals and organizations and businesses, a huge THANK YOU. For further information, see Alyse Munsch or call her at 983-4733.
Hey, Ladies! Remember the pincurl hairdo’s of the 50’s & 60”s? Guess what? Bobbie pins are now available in Wal-Mart! I almost dropped my drawers (no, that wouldn’t be nice) when I saw them there on a counter!
School is starting in just three —3— weeks, and often some kids need help with the necessary supplies. Currently, our local Lions Club has placed several donation cans around town: a large blue one for supplies at Speedy Stop and our bank, and smaller cans too for donations of money. And thank you!
POCO came and went this year without too much of a bang; however, some of the bang crossed over to my car. My windshield had been broken at sometime during that night. Guess someone just doesn’t like my column!
I’ve had a lot of fun writing this column; sometimes I’m really up-to-date on events and other times, I’m just being informative, and often expressing my thoughts and opinions as well! But I welcome any comments or news or other happenings for print, I can be reached at 361 798-0560 or kubeckasue@yahoo.com. And thanks for reading!
