One Spark is this week, a time when creators, innovators, and lookie-loos will descend upon Downtown Jacksonville. Thanks so much to our speaker last week, Vince Cavin, who told us that they estimate that 150,000 people are estimated to attend the festival. If you are interested in heading downtown for the event and need to know where to go and what to do, pick up this week's Folio Weekly, which I am told is the Official One Spark Guide.
Some of you may remember that years ago, our club made a declaration to support the protection of the St. Johns River. Many of will remember the horrible green algae blooms and dead fish that polluted our waterway. The St. Johns is a vital part of Jacksonville's landscape, and it is essential that we keep her healthy. Our speaker this week is Lisa Rinaman, the St. Johns Riverkeeper. Please join me as we hear an update on the health of the river, and about the Riverkeeper mission.

BEER FESTIVAL
|
Jacksonville Craft and Import Beer Festival
Friday, May 16
th
Jacksonville Veteran's Arena
We are looking for volunteers to work at BeerFest on Friday, May 16, 2014. This is a fun event and by volunteering to work we can generate a great deal of money for our club. The event is from 5 pm - 10 pm. You can volunteer to work the entire time or just a two or three hour shift. We will take whatever time that you have available. The more volunteers that we have, the more money that is generated for our charities. Volunteers work as ID checkers, helping set up or clean up, assist as a booth attendant, oversee the silent auction, or hand out brochures and sampling glasses. None of the volunteer duties are overly strenuous so everyone can participate. You can bring your spouse or friends to work the event and all volunteers get in free. There will be about 40 different brewers with over 400 different kinds of beer and 20 restaurants represented.
If you can't volunteer your time, you can donate items for the silent auction or attend the event. If you purchase a ticket through the club, one half of the ticket price goes to the SBMC. We will circulate a sign-up book at each meeting, or you can contact the co-chairs by phone or email if you would like to help.
This year's Chair and Co-Chair for BeerFest are: Michael Gullion [email protected] 904-396-9600, and Barry Griffin, [email protected] 904-838-8961.
