Southside Business Men's Club

Florida Governor Rick Scott's security detail got a little bit of a shock this past Wednesday upon their arrival at San Jose Country Club. When they saw a group of teens walking through the club's doors armed with rifles they were quick to assess the situation! Fortunately it was just the Robert E. Lee High School Navy JROTC, who came to give another fabulous presentation to our club. The rifles were unloaded, so crisis averted. It was a nice surprise that Governor Scott decided to drop by our meeting to greet the 5th Grade Safety Patrols from Pine Forest School for the Arts. I hope everyone enjoyed the brief distraction. It's not often that Gene Maszy gets upstaged during our weekly auction!
Thanks to all the volunteers that showed up at Pine Forest on Thursday to serve 450 chicken dinners in an effort to raise money for the school. I always go home from that event feeling exhausted and fulfilled... and smelling like chicken.
If you are reading this on Sunday, I will see you in about an hour for our big annual tailgate! The weather is supposed to be BEAUTIFUL today, reminding us all as to why we all choose to live here in Jacksonville.
Go Jags!

This week we lost a dear piece of our club, and laid another to rest.
Axel von Loewenclau's service was Monday at San Juan Del Rio Catholic Church. Thank you to all of the members that attended to pay your respects. It was a lovely service and Axel will be missed.
The world lost a bright light Tuesday morning when Cheryl Volpe lost her battle with cancer. I will always remember Cheryl for her never ceasing smile and loving personality. I know she is looking down on all of us with her glass of wine, free from pain. Please keep Angelo and Jeff in your thoughts and prayers.

CHARITY CLAY SHOOT
|
The 1st Annual
YAP J.R.O.T.C.
Charity Clay Shoot
To Benefit the NEW Youth Achiever J.R.O.T.C. Scholarship Fund
Saturday we had a great time at our inaugural charity clay shoot! Towards the end of the week we picked up additional shooters rounding our number out to 62 which is about 10 over a full field. Also in the final week, Republic Services stepped up and offered to join as our ammunition sponsor further. The weather was perfect, the course was fantastic and fun was had by all. We're still tallying the results of our fundraising and will announce in the coming weeks. If you attended the last 3 YAP luncheons you should recall our partnership with Robert E Lee High School's N.J.R.O.T.C. Students who came out and volunteered for the event making them the first eligible candidates for our new scholarship program.
The committee worked for months on securing sponsors, shooters, and volunteers. Additionally this committee focused on securing funds and participants almost exclusively outside the club from future members! This was truly a team effort in which everyone should be proud.
Finally, the event wouldn't have been half as successful if it wasn't for the support of our very own Member Duckworth Construction Company stepping in as title sponsor as well as recruiting several of the teams in attendance. Hank, your generosity was incredibly moving and appreciated....THANK YOU for personally starting our inaugural year off right and setting the benchmark from which we'll build for years to come!
Sincerely,
The Founding Clay Shoot Committee

MEMBERS NEEDED BY THE END OF THE YEAR: 40
SBMC is comprised of the nicest, most fun and most loyal people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. In order for this Club to remain dynamic, it's imperative that we all do our part to invite like-minded people to become members.
Our goal for the remainder of the year is clearly shown above. This is a very attainable goal, but the only way that we will achieve this goal is if we all work together. I ask that you please do your part by adding one new member by the end of the year. Think of your friends, neighbors, customers and vendors. In your circle of influence there is at least one person who can and will make a great new member.
As members of this great Club, we all have a responsibility to ensure that not only does it continue, but that it thrives. I thank you all.
