PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

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

(904) 838-8400

 

This past week we were visited by Jeff Bouchy with the Jacksonville Sharks.  It is exciting to have such a talented team in our town.  To know they have won EVERY season for their division thus far is incredible, and says a lot for the ownership and coaching of our Sharks.

 

We have a LOT of events coming up, with the scheduled Fishing Trip this past weekend, a Golf Outing at Palencia this week, a meet a member coming up in early August and more!

 

I tried to give away some cash to a new member this past week, asking the ones that had been a member for under 6 months, if they knew who our club Treasurer was.  We still have the cash in the box.  Remember all officers and board members are in your directory, or on our website.  Try to learn more about them, and you may win some money in the future.

 

This week we have Paul McElroy from the JEA as our guest speaker, and I've heard him before.  It is very interesting, you will enjoy it.  I'll see you all this Wednesday.  Bring your guests!

SBMC Golf Outing

The next monthly SBMC golf outing is on Friday, July 19th at Palencia. This is one of the finest courses and facilities in our area.  We still have 7 spots left. Cost is $50.00 plus tax and includes range balls. We will have a shotgun start at 2:00PM.  Please contact Nico Hogeveen at 904-403-6754 or [email protected] to reserve your spot.
