The meeting of the Service Club was held Thursday, April 7th at the Community Center at 10:00 a.m. and was followed by the members starting to prepare for the Garage Sale.
The main item on the Agenda was the Annual Spring Garage Sale which is scheduled for Saturday, April 9, 2011 at 8:00 a.m. and will be held in the Pavilion of the Community Center. The Garage Sale is held semi-annually and is the source of income for our many projects in this community during the year.
Ms. Biddie Hileman, Chairman of the Sale, announced that she has a garage full of boxes that are being delivered to the Pavilion for the Sale. Additionally, she has made arrangements for workers to empty the County building of the items stored there.
Ms. Sally Ragusin, Chairman of the Bake Sale accompanying the Garage Sale, has her telephone committee calling all members to learn of their choice of baked items to bring. And with the baking talents and abilities of the members, she expects to have a variety of many different baked goods for purchase. Additionally, there will be copies of the Service Club’s 3 volume cookbook along with several pounds of walnuts.
Arrangements have been made for the speaker from Medevac to appear on Tuesday, April 12th at 1:00 p.m. following the weekly Seniors’ Luncheon and Bingo. All residents are invited to attend this meeting at the Community Center to learn what is involved with the Medevac program of airlifting potential patients to the hospital and the annual costs per family. Carol Fox, our Vice President, has confirmed the scheduling of the speaker, and she urges all Port O’Connor residents to attend.
