Port O'Connor Chamber of Commerce

Now that we are into the Fall months, business in Port O’Connor has slowed down. I went to King Fisher Beach on October 8th, where the first ever 5K was being held. It was a surprise to see all the children and adults attending the event, the weather was just perfect, overcast and a breeze, although by lunch it was really warming up.

I also heard the POC GRAND SLAM had a good turnout. POC needs these events to keep people interested in our community during the slow months. There will be a “Welcome Winter Texan Business Expo” hosted by the Port Lavaca Chamber on November 17th from 10-2 p.m. in Port Lavaca. The Port O’Connor Chamber plans to attend this event, setting up a table with our members business cards and any info.
they furnish.

Please drop off business cards and info in a zip lock bag at Chamber office, just leave on Chamber desk in back office of POCMUD Office, for more info contact 361poc@gmail.com

Have a great time and enjoy Port O’Connor!

The summer of 2011 has been great for businesses in our community. The fishing in this area has also been good and when the winds continued will into the summer, the fish were still biting.

Seems  a short time since everyone was waiting for school to be out and now it’s time for school to begin another year. Summer in Port O’Connor has been a very busy season this year. If we could figure out what would bring as many people to our community in the Fall and Winter, it would be great. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The Chamber membership drive was in March and April.  If you have any questions as to if you have paid your 2011 membership dues, please email 361poc@gmail.com and I will get you a reply asap, as the first of September, the businesses that are not paid up, will be deleted from www.portoconnorchamber.org. If you need another application or did not receive one, contact us. If you are not a member, the Chamber can’t publicize for you. The Chamber does receive calls and emails concerning services in our community. Soon there will be new brochures printed and you will be deleted if dues are not up to date.
