| PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE |
Annie Howe, President
Southside Business Men's Club
(904) 654-6095
Remember when I told you all that I was going to miss the meeting a few weeks ago and then I mysteriously showed up? Well, that's a distinct possibility again this week. I *plan* to be working at our St Augustine branch all week. This unfortunately means that I will miss honoring the men (and women!) who have served in the highest office of our club. As I enter the September of my own Presidency, I appreciate these guys (and gals!) more than ever before. I hope that all of our Past Presidents really enjoy their day, and that you all do too.
Speaking of Past Presidents, I would like you to keep the family of one of them in your prayers. Angelo Volpe's wife Cheryl has been diagnosed with cancer, as I shared with you all last week prior to our invocation. Please keep Angelo, Cheryl, and their son Jeff on your hearts as they face this challenge. To the Volpe's: we love you and we are behind you every step of the way.

YOUTH ACHIEVER PROGRAM
|
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. The date for the Fall YAP is Oct 1st for the luncheon and Oct 2nd for the BBQ Cook-Out at Pine Forest Elementary.
PLEASE SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER ON Oct 2nd AT PINE FOREST ELEMENTARY. WE HAVE 2 SHIFTS: 12:00-4:00 AND 3:00-6:00. WE WILL BE SETTING UP AND SERVING THE CHICKEN DINNERS. YOU CAN SIGN UP BY SENDING ME AN EMAIL OR PUTTING YOUR NAME IN THE YAP BOOK THAT WILL BE AT THE MEETINGS.

Do you feel a calling to lead us in our Invocation or Pledge of Allegiance?
We ask for volunteers to help us start our meetings to get us thinking about what is really important and what is behind whatever success we have achieved - God and Country.
Please sign up or contact me if you would like to help.
We also have some openings for spotlight speaker this fall. This is free to our members in good standing and gives you the opportunity to talk about your business, family, interests, or anything else you would like to talk about for five minutes. You are also able to put out business cards, flyers, or informational materials on the tables to showcase your business.
Pick your date before they fill up!
