The Poinciana Ladies Club is a cornerstone of the community. Through goodwill and a strong love of the community, the ladies club has formed scholarship opportunities, bestowing two scholarships to deserving high school seniors. This group has been consistent with its community service and activities. The club will celebrate this Easter season with a perfect spring gift.
Plan on attending the club-sponsored carnival, which will be Friday, April 22, through Sunday, April 24. This family-friendly fair features all the rides and games as in years past. The carnival will be held adjacent to Vance Harmon Park on Country Club Drive.
The club will hold its big fundraising effort during this weekend and you can be a part of it. On Saturday, April 23, adjacent to the carnival site (Vance Harmon Park) will be a rummage sale. At a cost of $12, vendors may secure a space and sell items. This massive “garage sale” runs Saturday only. Contact Ve Saunders at 863-496-2285 or Connie Lopez at 407-345-4581 to arrange for space at the rummage sale.
The Poinciana Ladies Club takes the summer months off. At the upcoming April meeting, members will discuss the installation of officers for the upcoming year. The group’s next meeting will be Monday at 7 p.m. at the Poinciana Community Center, 395 Marigold Ave. For more information on the Poinciana Ladies Club, call Irene Gilbert at 863-427-9733.

So far this year, with the exception of last week’s scary weather days, Florida is the envy of all those cold states. Make the most of this beautiful spring by learning how to landscape with plants you can grow and eat.
Edible Landscaping is the topic of the presentation given by the Osceola County Extension Service. This class will be at the Poinciana Branch Library, North Doverplum Avenue, today from 10 a.m. to noon. The class is free and open to the public.

Maybe it’s time to restock your home library or buy books to donate to schools or hospitals. Whatever time it is, it is always a good idea to support the Friends of the Poinciana Library. The group will hold a book sale at the Poinciana Branch Library Thursday, April 14, to Saturday, April 16. Thursday’s sale will be from 1 to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Friends of the Poinciana Library meets September through May on the third Tuesday of every month at 2 p.m. at the Poinciana Library. When you stop in at the book sale, ask the “Friends” more about this group.
