PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

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

(904) 838-8400

 

Last week we had Duval County Public School Superintendent Dr. Nikolai Vitti as our guest speaker.  He was very clear on the direction he wants Jacksonville and area schools to progress.  He did mention a lot of high points as to what has transpired in his first year, but equally talked about all of the items that need to be addressed for the future of our schools.

 

Monday is Veteran's Day, and the day of our entry into the annual Veteran's Day Parade.  If anyone didn't have time to come down on a Tuesday evening to help put it together, here's another chance, as you can come early Monday and help put it back together for the finished product!

 

Wednesday is our annual Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Awards.  The program is always terrific, and this will be no different.  Bring your guests, and guests become future members!  The end of year membership contest was announced, and the prize is a $500 gift card to Best Buy!

 

I'll see you Wednesday.
