Jepp Walter, President
Southside Business Men's Club
(904) 838-8400
Last week was eye opening, to say the least. Andy Johnson held nothing back as he spoke of over spending by the City of Jacksonville and its Mayors, as well as challenging our club to check into the overspending he spoke of.
This week we will hear from Daniel Davis, the new President of our Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce. This will be the first time we've heard from Daniel since taking on his new role held for so many years by Wally Lee. It should be interesting to hear what he has planned for our city's future.
Next week is the River Cruise on the Foxy Lady, and that event sold out. It should be a great networking event as we take a twilight cruise down the river.
Have a great week, everyone, and I'll see you Wednesday.
