Jepp Walter, President
Southside Business Men's Club
(904) 838-8400
Last week we had a great talk from Sarah and Cindy from the FSCJ Artist Series, and found out they have a lot more to offer than most people realized! Hard to believe 2 popular TV shows, America's Got Talent, and So You Think You Can Dance, are both having stops here in Jacksonville for their live tours. Along with the extensive variety of other shows they carry, in our own Times Union Center for the Arts, it definitely brings Jacksonville into the limelight in the arts arena.
We also got to give away scholarships! One recipient was present, Gabrielle Rumney, while the others were already in school. Each of the students that were not present had a very heart felt thank you read to the club by Chairman of the Scholarship Committee Howard Caplan. Gabrielle was very gracious in accepting her YAP Scholarship as well.
There are so many things coming up this month of September, with the Clay Shooting event, the SBMC Cruise, and our HUGE Jaguars Tailgating Social at the end of the month, there is plenty for every member to do.
Are you ready for some football?!? Yes, it is football season. I'll see you all Wednesday.
