Last week we were entertained by Curtis Dvorak, the mascot of the Jaguars better known as Jaxson DeVille.  Curtis updated us on all avenues of the Jaguars including the new ownership, management, coaches, and players.  I'm excited that football season is about to begin!

This week we will have Bill Braniff as our guest speaker, and he happens to be the man that designed and built the Daytona Speedway.  He'll tell us all about that and some other speedways he built.  We will also have some special guests coming in from Jack Manilla of Portofino Pools.  From the Jaguars, we will have Chad Johnson, Sr. Vice President, Ticket Sales, Scott Massey, Sr. Vice President, Corporate Partnerships, Hussain Naqi, Sr. Vice President, Fan Engagement, and Mark Lamping, CEO & President of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

 

Then on Thursday is out big Meet a Member at Marywood, sponsored by Jack Manilla.  This will be a meet a member NOT to be missed.  Marywood is just 3 miles past Racetrack Road on SR13 (San Jose Blvd).  For those of you that have been to the TPC Kickoff parties at 4th VP Julie Clement's house, it is just before her neighborhood on the right.

 

Everyone have a wonderful week, and I'll see you Wednesday.
