Quota Club to honor Sue Parsley

If you’re planning to help Quota Club International honor Sue Parsley, Friday, Feb. 29, is the deadline to make reservations.

A banquet for Sue Armintor Parsley will be at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 6, at the Robert A. “Bob” Bowers Civic Center, Texas 73.

Parsley recently retired from Port Arthur’s Motiva Enterprises, LLP, and has been active with area groups including: Junior Achievement program, United Board of Missions, Port Arthur Convention & Visitors Bureau, Hughen Center Board, JASON Board of Mid & South County and the United Way of South Jefferson County.

Parsley looks familiar because she’s all over the place. She has served as chairman for the Greater Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce and CavOILcade, Salvation Army and Communities in School.

Parsley will be the 56th person to be so honored by the group. Dorothy Ingram, who died this week, was the club’s centennial honoree, Nancy Currie said.

The evening will include a silent auction to benefit a scholarship fund for a Junior Achievement student who plans to attend a Lamar campus. For auction information, call Cheryl Akbari at 543-2964.

St. Paul Mission

The Rev. Sinclair Oubre says he wants readers to get a “heads up” that the Catholic community of St. Paul Mission in Sabine Pass will be celebrating the blessing of the restored mission church and the consecration of the new altar at 9 a.m. mass on Sunday, March 2.

Bishop Curtis Guillory will preside and perform the blessing and consecration. A covered dish brunch will follow.

“It is good to note that seating in the church is about 50 folks, but we will welcome all, until there is no more room to welcome,” Oubre said.
