| PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE |
Annie Howe, President
Southside Business Men's Club
(904) 654-6095
I hope you all didn't miss me too much at the meeting last week! It was a reminder that while we are all in service to the club, we also have busy careers that demand our attention. I appreciate 1st VP Tim Howe (AKA The First Gentleman) for stepping in and filling my stilettos. I hope he didn't actually wear them, though.
I am so happy to see the month of May coming to an end this week. As I have been telling you, May is such a busy and challenging month for our club, but it's the time when we raise the funds that help us operate both the club and our charities. Ending our May Madness, last Monday was our 19th Annual Fidelity National Financial Youth Achiever Program Charity Golf Classic presented by Pet Paradise. We had wonderful conditions on the course, and our golfers really seemed to enjoy the day. My special gratitude goes to to the Charity Golf Committee, led by 2nd
VP Patrick Heatherington, Chairman Rick Thompson, and Founder Jay Cann. I know that Cyndi Nunn and I had a great time keeping our golfers hydrated, while raising money for our scholarship fund. Remember, "it's for the kids!"
I am looking forward to a presentation this week by Matthew Corrigan, Professor and Chair at UNF, who will be telling us about the upcoming Marijuana Amendment. And that's all I have to say about that.

FISHING TRIP
|
Let's go fishing!! This year will be our SIXTH annual fishing trip on the Mayport Princess. The trip is on June 7th, and tickets go on sale starting TODAY for only $80 per person. What does that give you, you ask? It gets you one of the just 40 spots on the boat, plus more!
Just so you know, prices on all of the Party Fishing boats in the area went up this year, so the street price is $85 per person. Well, thanks to Becky Hogan, an SBMC member and part owner of the Mayport Princess, we were able to keep the price at $80 for ONE more year!
Plus, it gets better! Compliments of our club, we also supply everyone with a really nice boxed lunch from Honeybaked Hams, bottled water, soft drinks, and BEER!! Did I say beer? Yes, we do supply beer for you.
The 40 spots sell out every year, and this year will be no exception. This trip has sold out in less than a week in the past, so don't hesitate. Either pay on our website online, or pay Dee at the door.
Don't miss the boat!!

GOLF OUTING
|
After another successful annual SBMC/YAP charity golf tournament at San Jose Country Club this past Monday, it's now back again to our regular monthly golf outings. In June we have a special treat with the opportunity to play at one of the World Golf Village/World Golf Hall of Fame courses. Last year we played the King & Bear course, this year it's the Slammer & Squire. With course design input from PGA legends and Hall of Fame members Sam (The Slammer) Snead and Gene (The Squire) Sarazen this resort course offers views of the World Golf Hall of Fame from several holes and is distinguished by memorable par-3's, preserved woodlands, wetlands and natural beauty.
Our date to play this wonderful lay-out is Friday, June 27th and our shotgun start will be at 1:00PM. Thanks to the World Golf Hall of Fame being a fellow SBMC member we are keeping the greens fee very competitive at $64.00 per participant (+tax), including range balls. We have room for 32 players, so get your tee-time quickly since this venue will fill up fast! Please contact Nico Hogeveen at 904-403-6754 or nhogeveen@golftec.com to reserve your spot(s).
