The Intercoastal 4-H club had their monthly meeting April 1, 2019. We had our Relay for Life bake sale March 23, 2019. We made well over our goal and we would like to give a big THANKS to those who donated baked goods and to the POC Hardware Store for letting us use their parking lot! Relay for Life will be held April 27, 2019 at the Calhoun County Fairgrounds.

We are planning an End of Year Beach Party for our May meeting-details TBA.

New members are always welcome!!

Saturday, April 12 was the annual Adopt-A-Beach Spring Clean Up. Roxanne Ochoa led the local effort. Eleven volunteers (7 children and 1 adult) cleaned one mile of King Fisher Beach and Sunday Pass.

On King Fisher Beach, 12 small bags and a stack of boards (200 lbs. total) were collected. And from Sunday Pass, 10 large bags of debris (400 lbs.) were brought in by boat.

Unusual items found included a bottle or urine at King Fisher Beach and a bobble-head doggy toy from Sunday Pass.

Items of concern found were: bottle of urine!, dirty diaper wipes, syringe, and a large bag filled with oil-soaked rags.

The most collected items: 100’s of plastic beverage bottles and bottle caps from Sunday Beach and 100’s of cigarette butts and plastic pieces under one-inch in size from King Fisher Beach.

Thank you to all volunteers from Port O’Connor and Edna to grandparents visiting from West Virginia who brought their grandsons from Victoria!
Thank you to L’Roy Bell and Virgil Redding for supporting our local clean up efforts across Calhoun County.

Thank you to Daniel Gayle for providing hotdogs, chips, and bottled water for our volunteers (along with fresh oranges from his brother Steven’s tree in LaWard).

Join us at the 33rd annual Fall Cleanup on Saturday, September 21, 2019. Roxanne Ochoa

Thirty two ladies attended March’s meeting of the “Hooked On Books” Book Club, held at the POC Library. The group enjoyed homemade crawfish pie, crawfish toast, and other goodies served by Hostesses Carol Brayko and Ursula Price, in honor of this month’s book, “Where The Crawdads Sing” by Delia Owens. After a fun and lively discussion of the book, the group received copies of recipes from the book, as well as information about upcoming social events in the Community. A great time was had by all!!

Twenty two lovely ladies donned their favorite spring hats and attended April’s “Hooked On Books” meeting and “Garden Party” hosted by Joanie Morgan, Charlotte Fitzgerald, & Monica McClung. Members were treated to a delicious meal of boiled shrimp, salad, snacks, scrumptious desserts, and a variety of beverages, followed by a lively discussion of April’s book, “The Light Between Oceans”!! Everyone enjoyed the beautiful garden surroundings, the perfect spring weather, the lively book discussion, and visiting with great friends!!
