POC Women’s Service Club is busy! We have a few new members and lots of projects in the works. The bike racks are ready to install in our newly remodeled front beach area. The pet potty station will soon follow. By the time you read this, our Spring Garage Sale April 18th will be well on the way to completion and proceeds will fund our 2015 Scholarships. The order forms for our POC Locator Map are being delivered to area businesses and need to be returned as soon as possible. For only $50, you can have a personalized advertising spot on the huge POC map posted at Kingfisher Beach. Great advertising impact for very little money! If you have a business that needs to be included and have not been contacted by a club member, please call Kelly Gee at 817-929-2564.

A huge thank you from the club to the Goode clan and all the participants in the Drumboree Fishing Tournament held in March. The proceeds are always donated to a local organization, and this year the POC Service Club received more than $600 from this event. We will use it well, and thank those who made it possible.

Renee Hawes and those painting kiddos are getting together every Tuesday at the Community Center and making some amazing artwork. If you missed them at the front beach on Easter, watch for the next ones coming up soon.

Chamber Crawfish Festival is right around the corner and I hear that some of those famous desserts might be available at the POC Service Club Booth at the Crawfish Festival on May 2nd. Bring your sweet tooth and a little cash.

Service Club is producing a new Cookbook in the coming months. We are collecting recipes now. A few remaining copies of the previous cookbook are still available. Get yours from a club member before they are gone.

Service Club will be awarding local youth scholarships this spring. If you have not already applied, check with your school counselor for more information. You can’t be awarded any scholarship you do not apply for, so apply soon! We invite all interested women to join our club and get in on the fun. We meet the 1st and 3rd Thursday during the school year, and the 1st Thursday at 10:00 a.m. during summer months at the POC Community Center. All interested are invited to visit and see if you would like to join us.

Poet Henrik Ibsen said, “ A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.” Is it your day to drive the boat?
