PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE | |
Fall is finally here, the air is cool, the Fair is going on and we rolled our clocks back an hour. Although I think it is a little early for not one but two radio stations to be playing nothing but Christmas carols. Please don t get me wrong I do like them however we have before Christmas several events and even holidays which are also deserving of our attention.
Here in this newsletter you will find a few of our upcoming events most of which help us raise money to support our Youth Achiever Program, Children's Shopping Spree and our Veteran's. We need your help to make each of these a success so please find at least one event that you can volunteer some time for and help us in our support of these programs. Thank You!
If you missed Taylor Hardwick this past Wednesday then you missed a little insight into the history of our club and how we got behind the creation and construction of Friendship Fountain. Mr. Hardwick received a standing ovation for his presentation as well as for his contributions to Jacksonville.
See you Wednesday,
Ken
