PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE | |
I'm happy to report that our immediate Past President Ken Dean has been elected as 2012 SBMC Chairman of the Board. Please join me in congratulating Ken on his new role with our great Club. I personally appreciate Ken's support and friendship and I look forward to working with him this year.
Please note that our next TWO meetings in February, on February 1st and the 8th, will take place at University Club. Our regular meetings will reconvene at San Jose Country Club the following week on February 15th.
2012 has just begun but I already feel a lot of excitement in our Club this year. I want YOU to know that thanks to YOU, there is a buzz in town that SBMC is the place to be on Wednesdays. Please keep buzzing...
Let me introduce you to our new members and thank their sponsors for supporting our Club's growth:

Please welcome our new members to the Club and invite them to join one of our committees. I encourage all of you to get involved in Club's activities. Whether you volunteer at The Players Championship, our own YAP, or participate in our Charity Golf Tournament, it all helps the Club achieve its goals... But most importantly, you network and have fun with a dynamic group of professionals who are committed to improving the quality of life in Jacksonville.
Have a great week and I look forward to seeing you and your guests at our meeting on Wednesday.

MEMBERSHIP CORNER | |
As a recent member of Southside Business Men's Club, I am someone who, like you, wears many hats. Nonetheless, I am pleased to report that I've never missed a single meeting since joining the Club. It is clear from speaking with so many of you here that Wednesdays with SBMC is a regular part of your weekly plan as well.
But, please keep in mind that even though 2012 is our 80th anniversary year, there are still so many people who don't know we exist, and who would relish the chance to network and tap into our treasure trove of excellence in the Jacksonville business community, right here, right now!
So, please speak to people you do business with and your friends -- invite them to come as a guest. You know that most visitors to our Club tend to stay and ultimately enjoy their SBMC Membership as much as we do. See you Wednesday at SBMC.
Margie Seaman,
2012 Membership Chair |

We have chartered a very comfortable motor coach for the trip (with a bathroom). The price of this great trip is only $75 - which includes transportation, snacks and refreshments during the trip and lunch.
Bus seats are LIMITED, so don't miss out on this unique opportunity to visit the State Capital with your fellow SBMC members. For details and to make your reservations, please contact Harry Peltz at 742-6644 or e-mail at [email protected]
