BUNCO! The next gathering of the Bunco group will be Tuesday, November 2, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. This energetic group meets once a month to spend time rolling those dice while learning about the latest happenings in our community and what’s cooking with each other. And as our days are starting to cool down, the increased determination of each player is a wonder to see. Despite being Election Day there will be a large group of women present and especially as Biddie Hileman and Sally Jones are the hostesses that evening.
We meet in the back meeting room of the Community Center, and play will commence following the usual array of 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! Call Shirley Gordon at the Library for further information, 983-4365.
If you’ve seen the petition at the bulletin board by the Post Office re the Sports Association, do SIGN it! This will go to the Commissioners’ Court for support of the building of the Sports Area near the Community Center. The POCSA has been hard at work for several years to reach this point in time and are actively seeking community support for this project. Current plans are to present petitions and letters from residents of this area at a meeting of the Commissioners’ Court later this year; a confirmed date has not been set, but if anyone would like the opportunity to see democracy in action, think about attending and make certain your wishes are counted. A sample letter had been printed in a previous issue of the Dolphin Talk; do use it with your personalization.
And, if you think you’re free on the 3rd Monday evening of the month, plan to attend the next meeting on Monday, November 19th at 7:00 p.m. It will be held at the Community Center and Commissioner Kenneth Finster will be present to answer any questions about the next step. Contact Calvin Ragusin at 655-0498 for further information; membership in this worthwhile organization is only $10.00 per year and we need your assistance!
THE BIG BIG BIG GARAGE & BAKE SALE as staged by the members of the Port O’Connor Community Service Club is scheduled for Saturday, November 3rd in the Pavilion at the Community Center. Beginning at 8:00 A.M. that morning and lasting till the last item has been carried off, this is an event that should not be missed. Many members of the Service Club will be on hand to help you with your purchases and also to guide you to the counter where many, many baked goods will be displayed. A reminder: those baked goods tend to vanish early in the morning, so if there is a cake or a pan of cookies you think would add to your dinner, get there early!
Have you noticed the construction going on at the building known as Carmine’s Restaurant on Adams St near 7th? A gentleman from Schulenberg has purchased the building which is now undergoing extensive reconstruction and remodeling. His plan is to sell smoked meats of all varieties including jerky, sausage and even boudin. Watch for his opening later in November and check his upcoming advertisement in our paper.
I really think Fall is the most special season of the year with the turning of colors of the foliage and the crispy air to enjoy an outdoor afternoon. And it’s such a relief to end the extremely hot and humid days of August. However, if you, like I, had lived in the Eastern portion of our country, Spring would probably top your list.
