PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

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

(904) 838-8400

 

What a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I hope you all had a great holiday weekend.  Last week we had an awesome wine tasting, put on by our own Jeanne Maron, and the Gifted Cork.  The wine was amazing, the presentation was great, and everyone I saw there had a great time.  I am thankful to have so many wonderful members in our club.  I hope you all had a fine weekend.

 

This week will be the official Annual Meeting, where ALL of our officers will move up to their next positions in the lineup for next year, 2014.  We also have Board of Governors members who are moving up, as well as some new ones.  Thank you for your commitment for the betterment of our wonderful organization.

 

We will also have a visit from 'Catty Shack', an organization that takes care of abandoned 'Big Cats', and if you've never visited their place, you should, it's even better than a zoo.  You can get 'Up Close and Personal' with a lion or a tiger, or others! 

 

I hope you can all make it.  Again, I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend, and I'll see you Wednesday.

 

Jepp
