BUNCO – BUNCO!
The next Bunco party will be Tuesday evening, April 3rd beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the back meeting room of the Community Center, and we will be in for a fun evening with some delicious foods. We welcome all interested women on that evening; if you are new to our area, this is a good way to meet others. And if playing Bunco is something you’ve never had time for, well, you will certainly enjoy yourself, so come check us out. You could go home a winner too! Ask Biddie Hileman who garnered the prize for winning the most games in March! Call Shirley Gordon at the Library for further information, 983-4365.
The Service Club and its POC History Book Committee are still searching for a picture of the ranch house on the LaSalle Ranch preferably back in the 40’s. If anyone has a photo in their possession or know of someone who does, and will lend it to be copied, please contact either Chairman, Sue Kubecka, 798-0560 or our President, Janet Johnson, 983-4737. Additionally, we are currently concentrating on the decade of the 40’s and the changes that evolved in this community as brought by the Second World War. Please give either Sue Kubecka or Janet Johnson a call if you were here during that period and could share your experiences with us. We look forward to speaking with you.
Unfortunately, ladies, we are now approaching Spring, which means the time for cleaning closets, cupboards, and dresser drawers and eliminating that dress or other item that just isn’t right. So do remember, the Service Club is holding their Annual Spring Garage Sale on Saturday, April 14th at the Community Center. You may call either Lydia Strakos, Chairman of the Sale at 983-2341, or her assistant, Debbie Busby 512 914-9521 to arrange for storage of any usable items. And thank you.
If you’ve seen the sign denoting the POC Liquor Store on Adams Street, you’ve probably popped in there to reacquaint your friendship with Janet Johnson, the manager. Reacquaint because Alvins had closed last November, which is where Janet had been the manager. And we have all missed seeing her and her charming and friendly smile. Noral MacCauley is the owner and though the store might appear small, there is an amazing display of items. Watch for the Grand Opening Celebration later!
HAVE YOU NOTICED: the cleanup of weeds in the area bordering the old Tarpon Inn? Several people have been hard at work at this site on East Maple; the cleanup now shows several concrete pads and electrical outlets for some RV spots. Hmmmmmm!
Well, Spring Break is now over as I write this; we’ve had a lot of visitors here in our area; I only hope that they were not too disappointed in our overcast days. But on Friday it looked as though the sun would make its appearance, for which many of us were hopeful in order to start on our Spring tan!
It looks as though we’ve lost one restaurant here; El Mexicano #6 as operated by Daniel Huerta has closed. That’s really sad as the location is a perfect spot for a restaurant, overlooking the Intercoastal Canal.
Don’t know if the reader was one of the people enjoying the Anniversary Celebration of The Treasure Chest on Saturday. Hope you didn’t miss it.
School started back again on Monday, the 19th; remember to watch for kids on the streets either walking or on bikes.
