TEACHER FOR A DAY - MARCH 29th

Would you like to make the difference in a middle school student's life? Do you want to be able to share the secrets to your personal success? (Or failure?)  Southside Middle School's seventh graders are eagerly awaiting your insight and wisdom.  Please sign up to be a teacher for the day on THURSDAY, MARCH 29TH. Training sessions and a meet-and-greet with the teachers will be available prior to the event.

 

For more information, or to volunteer, please contact: 

Annie Houghton 904-996-1000  [email protected] or

Rita Story 904-254-6866 [email protected]

MEMBERSHIP CORNER

Each week we get the opportunity to not only gather and meet with our fellow members but also to meet with each other's friends, clients, relatives, vendors and even significant others. Please make an effort at upcoming meetings to meet another member's guest and ask how you can help them or their business.

 

Guests frequently become new members and are a steady supply of new energy and ideas but they are not the only way to help membership. We also need to assist our newer members and those who may be struggling to find their role to become more integrated. At the next meeting, help a member you do not already know to find a way to participate more, make a new connection or transact some business within the group. You will be helping us all. The more we help each other, the more we help our club, our city and ourselves.  

 

I hope to see you next Wednesday and if you bring guests, please feel free to introduce them to me. I look forward to meeting your friends and acquaintances and hopefully seeing them inducted as a new member soon.  

 

Scott Schilbrack,

2012 Membership Chair

THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP - MAY 7th - 13th

TPC is May 7th to May 13th and Volunteer Sign Up is now in progress.  The SBMC provides volunteers to work the TPC food and beverage tent adjacent to the 18th landing spot. Our team members run cash registers, prepare and serve food and beverages throughout the week. This is an annual fundraising event for the Club and is always a fun way to get to know your fellow members. We have a need for volunteers every day. But of course the good times go first so don't delay.

 

A drawing for $100 CASH (2 winners) will be held the Wednesday following the tournament. Your name will be entered into the drawing once for every shift you work.

***Anyone working SUNDAY will have their name entered 2 TIMES***

You don't need to be a member to participate in this fun event. Recruit your family, employees, friends, etc. You will get a day pass to the event so you can enjoy the TPC when you aren't working your shift.

 

There will be a sign up notebook passed around all SBMC lunch meetings from now until the event. Please go on line to sign-up as a volunteer at http://www.southsidebusinessmensclub.com  or contact the TPC Chairman, Steve De Sorbo at [email protected],  call 281-0511 ext 314 to let him know what days you are interested in signing up for.
