Optimists raise 750 for Port Lavaca college bus
The Optimists Club of Port Lavaca reports 750 raised toward buying a bus to transport students to Victoria College and the University of Houston at Victoria Center. Funds come from receipts of the Heart of American Carnival and a planned April benefit dance. A survey will gauge demand and bus size, with next events including a mini-bike track, a women's slo-pitch tournament, and an oratorical contest. Sergeant Garland Shaw, a Port Lavaca native and 1972 Calhoun High graduate, has returned to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.
