Sorry, but this column was omitted in April for several reasons. Hope the reader really missed it??
BUNCO: Hey, Bunco is gonna be Tuesday, June 5th, 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! 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 knows 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. HOWEVER, if you wish to have a page in the book with a history of your family, we really need your help in writing your history; please contact either Sue or Janet concerning this.
Unfortunately, we missed the 6th Wounded Warriors Weekend as we were in Biloxi and then on to Florida to celebrate our grandson’s entry into Nuclear Studies with the Navy in Chicago. However, I understand more and more members of the military took part in this celebration. But how can we continue to forget and dishonor those who served our Nation in Viet Nam during the 60’s?
Before we left I went down to the Community Center to speak with the “Dragon Lady”, the incredible sculptress who designs and sculpts those stunning displays. Did you see her gratitude block to our residents for the assistance she and her fellow artists have been given by those of us in POC? It was amazing!
I’m exiting once again my year of working with the students at our School and can never thank the incredible and caring teaching staff and Mrs. Strakos for permitting me several hours of total enjoyment with the kids. Just hope I was of some help!
Our thanks to the POC Service Club for purchasing the flags and erecting them along the highway of 185 to 1289. Our definite thanks to the husbands whom I saw putting them up. Also thanks to the members of the Service Club to once again providing desserts for the Saturday Night BBQ dinner. I heard of one member who returned on Friday from being out of town to bake 3 cakes. Devotion? Or just community dedication?
Just saw the listing of Fishing Tournaments for this year! Wow! Lucky me, though, I have a front row seat of the participants and visitors of POCO! With my camera too!
Understand that the widening of 1289 will be starting soon from 238 to 185 with the construction of a new bridge and the entrances at Monkey Slough. Guess we’ll have to find a new route to Port Lavaca for shopping. But maybe our PL correspondent can provide more info!
Notice all the boats out on Mother’s Day? Guess the Mothers all wanted a well deserved day to themselves. Just hope the guys planned on cooking their fish or would stop at Jocelyn’s or Cathy’s on their way home. And Jocelyn’s makes an incredible Reuben Sandwich!
Hey, POC Service Club members: Don’t forget that there will be only one meeting in June: on Thursday, June 7th at 10:00 a.m. See you there!
The Reading Program will be starting soon at the Library; do check our paper for more info re dates! Or call Shirley!
See that Hoop at Hurricane Junction is once again hosting the entrants for another Fishing Tournament. He has planned some super activities for the fishermen and accompaniments during Cula Roja in July!
This is now the middle of May and visitors are coming into the RV parks to spend a month or two. We welcome you to our neighborhood, but please treat ours like yours. We have an excellent Library, 3 boat ramps and a beautiful front beach to picnic on.
Why is it that moving is one of my least desired chores. Particularly for someone who has lived in 3 states in 5 months during 1 year! It seems there is always another box or container to unpack or another drawer to redo at least 1 month later!!!!
