Another successful fundraiser is behind us (Chili Cookoff) and our next project is to have a booth at the Crawfish Festival, April 29, put on each year by the POC Chamber of Commerce. We will be continuing to sell raffle tickets on our Texas bench and add two new raffle items. The two new items, a neon sign donated by the POC Chamber and a basket of items to put on your own crawfish party, will be drawn for at the festival. The bench winner will be announced at our Derby Day fundraiser on May 6, to be held at the Community Center. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for all the other activities planned for that “First Saturday in May” event. So much excitement and fun. You won’t want to miss it.

You can continue to purchase raffle tickets at First National Bank POC for the bench or to donate to the Facelift Project. We are a 501c3 nonprofit raising funds to refurbish the POC Community Center and Pavilion, provide new appliances, add outside restrooms, replace all tables and chairs, and redo landscaping. This center is one of the main focal points of POC. So many functions are held here each year and many use the grounds and buildings for free. It was built to be a place people could gather and now it needs some freshening-up. The goal for Phase 1 is $150,000.00 This will cover all the plans for the Pavilion. Be part of the solution and show your support by donating today.
