Sara Apostalo

Members of the Tuesday Bible Study Group gathered at Mary Nell McGee’s home to bid a tearful farewell to long-time friend, Sara Apostalo. After 50 years in Port O’Connor, Sara has moved to Slidell, Louisiana to be near her family.

In addition to the Bible Study, Sara was a member of the Service Club, Baptist Church, and Bunco group. Her employment included house cleaning and working as a salesperson at Sister’s. She and her husband, Paul Sr., who passed away in 2014, owned rental cottages in Port O’Connor.

“There used to be an Apostalo on every corner,” remarked one long-time Port O’Connor friend. “Now, the last of the Apostalo’s are gone.”

We wish you the best, Sara. We will miss you.

On March 1st, the 2018 Chamber membership applications were in the mail. Thanks to all who replied so far. We are here to promote our community and businesses. A committee has volunteered to research information on acquiring a new website for www.portoconnorchamber.com, hoping it will attract more traffic. The site will be much easier to update and more user friendly. Hopefully it will be up and running within the next couple months.

The Scholarship applications must be filled out and returned by the deadline of March 31,2018.Sometimes students forget to get this turned in by deadline, but there is no extension time. So parents, if your child hasn’t brought this home and filled it out yet, you still have time to get it in.

The 6th Annual Crawfish Festival is on the horizon. If you have never attended one of these, it’s not to late too make plans to be in Port O’Connor on April 28th, to enjoy a fun filled day at King Fisher Park, with all the crawfish you can eat, along with games and Live Music, also many, many vendors, This will be the kick-off of activities for 2018.

I am sure you are preparing for Easter Sunday. Today I am at the “Senior Retreat” at Camp Zephyr with several of our church’s senior adults. I will tell you all about the camp next month.

The children will have their annual EASTER EGG HUNT on Saturday, March 31 at 2:00 p.m. at Fellowship Hall. There will be special places for each group to hunt their eggs. Children, bring your baskets and find the special eggs for an exciting prize!

The 2018 Port O’Connor EASTER SUNRISE SERVICE will be held at the pavilion on the breach front on Easter Sunday morning,, April 1. Bro. Donnie Martin will welcome everyone and lead the opening prayer and read the Easter Bible Scripture. The Acappela Choir of First Baptist Church will sing an Easter Hymn and the Congregation will sing Easer Hymns led by Music Director Raymond Grant. Bro. Erny McDonough, Pastor of Fisherman’s Chapel, will deliver the Easter Sermon and give the Benediction.

Everyone is welcome to stay and enjoy the hot coffee and cinnamon rolls furnished by Cathy’s Restaurant and Fisherman’s Chapel.
