Spring is springing up everywhere! I love seeing leaves on the trees and blooms in the flowerbeds. I also love seeing visitors in town and activity around our community. POC Service Club is excited about their Spring plans and really wants you to be a part.
A time honored tradition in POC is the Spring Garage Sale which will be Saturday, April 7th at 8AM at the Community Center Pavilion. If you have never been to one of our garage sales, you simply don’t know what you are missing. If you have then you are asking ‘what time can I arrive?’ No matter what your taste or need, there is truly something for everyone, and all the proceeds go right back into projects for our community. The Bake Sale will start in the morning and the $ BAG Sale will be at 12:00 Noon.
We are still accepting donations of quality used clothing, household goods and décor. Your donation could help fund a scholarship or community activity. So, call Donna Vuichard at 361-237-0476 and she will assist you in setting up donations times and places. We can only succeed with your help and donations plus you will feel good about reusing what no longer works for you.
The POC Community Service Club invites you and your family to the 1st annual POC All American Family Fun Day on Saturday April 14th from 9-3 at Kingfisher Beachfront in POC. This day of fun is meant for building family memories and having special times together. Retro games and competitions such as three legged races and ring toss will be set up near the pavilion on Kingfisher Beach. The Friends of the Port O’Connor Library will have a Book Nook for reading and a book giveaway. Ribbons and medals will be awarded to families who win as they participate together.
POC Service Club will be serving ice cream, Speedy Stop has graciously donated water, Jeremy and Holly Dyes of ‘Twice the Ice’ have donated ice for this event and many club members have donated supplies, equipment and time.
Bring a picnic, your chairs and sunscreen and make a day of it. Please be aware that children will need an adult present as they participate in this fun day. If you have questions or need more information, please contact Kelly Gee at gollygeetx@alumni.ou.edu.
There are several other activities and fun events happening in POC this Spring. The POC Crawfish Festival is the last weekend of April and Warriors Weekend is just around the corner. If you have not found your niche in our little community, come let us help you look for just the right fit.
The POC Service Club meets the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month and welcomes women of all ages and stages to be a part. It’s a great place to meet new friends and be of service to others.
So, until next time, be safe, live simply, love openly, forgive generously and remember this quote from the amazing philanthropist and actor Danny Thomas who said “Success in life has nothing to do with what you gain or accomplish for yourself. It comes from what you do for others.” We would love to have you be a part of our success.
