Wow, what a week! Last week of course was the majority of The Players Championship, with the Champion being named later on the date of this newsletter. The weather was beautiful, and BOY did the crowds come out. Reports of Volunteer and even General parking lots being full were rampant, as people showed how much they were tired of all the rain, and had something wonderful to do at such a beautiful setting.
My hat goes off to 3rd Vice President Patrick Heatherington, his Chairs, and the Day Captains, for managing such a huge event. The new tent was VERY busy, and they handled the crowds very well. Thanks goes to all of the volunteers for your time and energy spent! That also goes for any of the volunteers for our other tent that we manage for other charities. Some even helped at our tent when we were overwhelmed, and I really appreciate it. If you know any of those people, please send them my thanks.
This week we have Bonnie Barnes, from the North Florida Land Trust, as our Guest Speaker. The North Florida Land Trust conserves scenic, natural, agricultural and open land for the future of Northeast Florida in seven counties. I hope you will all attend to hear more about how there actually are organizations such as this one that are out to help keep our outdoor surroundings beautiful.
I'll see you Wednesday.

BEERFEST
|
Jacksonville Craft and Import Beer Festival
Friday, May 17th
Jacksonville Veteran's Arena
We still desperately need volunteers for the BeerFest on Friday, May 17, 2013. Volunteers should be available for two to three hours each between 5:00pm and 11:00pm. You could bring your spouse and/or a friend (or two or three friends). The BeerFest raises a lot of money for our club. Since we do not participate in the Jazz Festival this year, the BeerFest will replace some of the funds we are losing. You can help in different ways: Volunteer your time, donate an item for the Silent Auction (100% return to SBMC) or simply by buying tickets for the event. Please reply by e-mail to the Co-Chairs.
This year's Co-chairs for BeerFest are: Axel von Loewenclau ([email protected] 904 504-0262), and Tripp House ([email protected] 904 502-2291) They have full details about anything you will need to know.

SERGEANT AT ARMS - Steve DeSorbo

RSVP and let us know if you intend to have lunch. This will ensure that SJCC has proper seating and enough food for our group. RSVP to [email protected]
Please remember that we get billed when someone eats. That means if you only have a cookie, or soup our club gets charged the full amount. Do not eat unless you pay for lunch or it takes money that we would use for our charities.
Thanks!
