This is the last issue of “The Dolphin Talk” before the Annual “Sweetheart Banquet”, which will be held in the Port O’Connor Community Center on Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. This will be the 17th year that First Baptist Church has produced this “Gala Port O’Connor Affair”. Committees have been organized for the decorations, ticket sales, food preparations, food serving and program design.

A group of men will charcoal-broil the delicious steaks just before the Banquet, while a group of women will be preparing the salad, vegetables and dessert to complete the meal. The Church men and Church Youth will be serving the seated Steak Dinner. Youth waiters and waitresses will see that everyone is served iced tea and coffee.

Immediately following the dinner, special recognition will be given to all the couples that have been married 50 years and longer. A Special Award will be presented to the couple married the longest and to the couple married the shortest number of years. Following this, everyone will join in singing “Let Me Call You Sweetheart”.

One of the highlights of the evening will be the award presentation of the Citizen of the Year. After this special award, door prizes will be awarded to several lucky attendees.

This year the entertainment will be the music of John Sisk and his humorous remarks. John Sisk was with us last year and by popular demand we asked him to return.
