PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Jepp Walter, SBMC 2013 PresidentJepp Walter, President 
Southside Business Men's Club 

(904) 838-8400

 

Last week we had yet another great turnout.  Our speaker was Sheriff John Rutherford, and he was as always, very informative.  He spoke of the state of the city and crime, or lack thereof!  We always enjoy hearing from John.

 

We also noted that members who put ads in the Directory are now allowed to get their ads online at our website, http://www.sbmcjax.com

There are links on the home page of our site that will point you in the right direction.

 

This week we will have NO meeting, I hope you all have a WONDERFUL 4th of July, and be safe out there!

 

Jepp
