PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
|
Tim Howe, President
Southside Business Men's Club
(904) 813-8950
At last Wednesday's SBMC Past President's Day celebration, we had the great honor of seeing some of the Presidents who've led our club, during the last 45 years of our 83 year existence. We also remembered 2 that we lost recently: 1974 President A.J. Pionessa and 1975 President Allan Gimbel.
The dedication of our Presidents to this organization has been tremendous; their feats have and will, benefit the southside of Jacksonville for years to come. But rather than dwelling on their actions, take a good look at them. With the exception of our very lovely 2014 President, see the scars and wrinkles that they have earned. Most still reside in this community. Many are active in this organization. These people ARE the Southside of Jacksonville. They have earned and deserve your respect.
Front Row, left to right: Tom Harris 2007, John Martin 1988, C. Lee Daniel 1977, Dole Kelley 1972, Gene Bushor 1994, Jimmie Harden 1970, Crump Kirby 1999.
Back Row, left to right: John Hamel 2000, Jim Parrish 2004, Tom Carroll 2001, Annie Howe 2014, Jepp Walter 2013, Tim Buchanan 2009, Ken Dean 2011, and Mark Wilkinson 1996.
There are others were unable to attend this year's event, but are still very much a part of SBMC: Gene Maszy 2003 and 2010 (auctions), Angelo Volpe 2008 (Board of Trustees), and Steve Johnston 2005 (Programs Chairman).
When you come to a meeting, or Club event, please take an extra moment to recognize them, and thank them for their work in helping develop the Southside of Jacksonville, and this club, into what it is today.
On a lighter note, we still have our sense of humor...except Dole!

We have staged the materials and begin work Tuesday, 22 September at 5:30pm. Work site location: Central Park Office/Industrial Park, 3 728 Philips Highway #304, Jacksonville (just south of Emerson and Philips). This is the same location as last year. Food and water will be provided. As always, bring your own adult beverages, if desired. We are also looking for volunteers willing to provide dinner for the work crew. Many thanks to Faye Lance from Sugar Snob Chocolates for offering to cater the evening of 22 September. If interested in catering future evenings please contact Valerie Segraves at (904) 307-6083 or [email protected]Remember each time you volunteer your name get dropped into a drawing for a pair of Jaguar tickets - with the highly sought after Parking Pass!

MONTHLY GOLF OUTING

MONTHLY GOLF OUTING FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9th AT DEERWOOD GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB.
Our next SBMC golf outing will be on Friday, October 9th at Deerwood Golf & Country Club. Cost to participate is $50.00 (+tax) and we have 32 spots available. The price includes green/cart fees and range balls prior to your round. We'll have a shotgun start at 12:00 noon.
Deerwood is one of the best maintained private courses in the area with a tremendous history. The original land was owned by the Skinner family and development of an exclusive residential community with stately homes and luxurious amenities started in 1960. George Cobb, a legendary golf architect, was commissioned to design the club's course, while Jim McNair was hired to develop the program. By 1967, the club had earned the right to host the Greater Jacksonville Open (which later became THE PLAYERS Championship), a prestigious event that the club hosted from 1967-1969 and 1972-1975. Winners of these PGA Tour events at Deerwood include Tony Jacklin (2x), Raymond Floyd, Jim Colbert, Hubert Green and Larry Ziegler.
In 1975 President Gerald Ford met with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat at Deerwood for Middle East peace talks. From 1980 Gate Petroleum owned the club, but in 1999, the club's members banded together to purchase the club from Gate, making Deerwood an equity club. Thanks to a $10 million renovation in 2004 that included a brand-new clubhouse and fitness center as well as a total redesign of the golf course by architect Brian Silva, Deerwood Country Club remains a leader among Jacksonville's private clubs.
This is definitely one of the best courses to play in the area. So, come join your fellow SBMC members and friends for a round of golf! To reserve your spot(s) contact Nico Hogeveen at (904) 403-6754 or send an email to [email protected].

SERGEANT-AT-ARMS

There are 2015 spotlight speaker dates available! The book is at the sign-in table at each meeting.
This is free to all 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!
We also 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.
If you have a calling to lead us in prayer/invocation or the pledge of allegiance, please either call or sign up in the spotlight speaker book.
