Last week was an awesome meeting, our annual Military Appreciation Day. I'd like to thank 2nd Vice President Tim Howe, along with his Chairman John Hamel, and Co-Chair Barbara Buzby, for putting on a great event. We had a full house, and also got to give out 3 scholarships to candidates in the Wounded Warrior Project. We had a great display of the Prisoners of War who are still Missing in Action, and gifts for all of the Member Veterans. John brought a WWII Veteran, Paul Gullbrandt, who is active in retired military community. If you missed this event, I encourage you to attend next year.
The SBMC Cruise is in full swing at the time of this newsletter, and I'm sure there will be a good time had by all attendees.
This week we will have the CEO of Firehouse Subs as our speaker. It should be very informative to hear how a small startup company grew to the large size it is today. Have a good week everyone, and I hope to see you Wednesday!

MILITARY APPRECIATION DAY
|
A very big thanks to John Hamel and Barbara Buzby for presenting an outstanding Military Appreciation Day program last Wednesday!
Highlighting the festivities was the presentation of three $500 checks to recent combat veterans Daniel Rice, Ricky Hicks and Pablo Rosario. These checks came from our SBMC charity: Veterans Independence Project (VIP), to help combat vets get re-established as civilians in our community. It was great to see some of the money this charity raises being issued to these men!
Again Thanks John and Barbara. And thanks to all our SBMC members who help us raise funds for our causes!!

FALL YAP
|
YAP Cookout - October 3rd
YAP Program - November 2th
The Youth Achiever Program helps the boys and girls who serve as Southside Elementary school safety patrols, specifically those of Pine Forest with the cost of the trip to Washington DC. Then later upon applying to college, these same students are eligible to apply for our annual YAP college scholarships to the schools of their choice (usually $1,000-$1,500 depending on demand). This program is funded in part by our semi-annual Youth Achiever Program cook-outs, and the Fall one is just around the corner on October 3, 2013.
This is your opportunity to make an investment in this worthy program. As SBMC members you can make a difference by getting involved. There are 3 ways to get involved you can help on the YAP committee, volunteer the day of the cookout 10/3/2013 or Invest by being a Sponsor in this program.
