PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
|
Tim Howe, President
Southside Business Men's Club
(904) 813-8950
I know you may tire of me ballyhooing about the importance of SBMC in the community and how our volunteer efforts change people's lives. But it's very rewarding to hear it from the receiving end.
The following is a write up about our recent 2nd Annual Duckworth Construction/Savage Brothers YAP J.R.O.T.C. Charity Clay Shoot, from the Public Affairs Officer for the NJROTC Area 12 network (north Florida and all of Georgia). This also went out to the Duval County school system.
Doing good deeds in our community, and having fun doing them!
I hope you agree:
GUNS FOR GOOD
at the
Southside Business Men's Club Clay Shoot
These days we hear so much negative information concerning guns, but the Southside Business Men's Club, along with Duckworth Construction, has found a way to use guns for good. On October 3, 2015 Southside Business Men's Club held a fundraiser to provide scholarships funds for the Youth Achiever Program (Y.A.P.) and local NJROTC Units in Duval County. The fundraiser was in the form of a Sporting Clay Shoot at Amelia Shot Gun Sports, just West of Amelia Island in Yulee Florida.

Amelia Shotgun Sports, run by Barbara Martin, is the premiere shot gun sporting range on the First Coast. This location has been the spot for this event since its inception two years ago.
The chief sponsor for this exceptional event was Duckworth Construction Inc. Duckworth Construction is a local company founded in 1988 bythe company's President, Hank Duckworth, a graduate of the University of North Florida. Mr. Duckworth, a member of the Southside Business Men's Club (SBMC), was quoted as saying, "we sponsor this event because we get to interact and have an impact on the youth of America."

The Cadets of Robert E. Lee High School NJROTC acted as the work force behind the sporting clay event. The Cadets were responsible for maintaining safety at each of the twelve stations, taking control of the clay pigeon throwing machines, and keeping score for every shooter. It is always safety first anytime there is a gun involved and this event was no exception. The Cadets used what they learned in NJROTC and applied the Civilian Marksmanship Programs (CMP) safety rules of (MAT), Muzzle, Action, Trigger, to ensure the safe handling of weapons on the range.
Everyone from the youngest shooter, to the seasoned veteran had a great time shooting, eating, and meeting new friends. The Cadets of Robert E. Lee NJROTC received high praise from Barbara, "the Boss", the members of the SBMC, and Mr. Duckworth for the stellar job they did throughout the event.
If you are a business person and you are looking for a great civic organization, take a look at Southside Business Men's Club, which formed in 1932. If you desire to learn how to shoot skeet, trap, and sporting clays, Amelia Shot Guns sports is the place for you; if you would like to check out the pictures of the event above, click the Robert E. Lee website link below. HOO-YAH

So all your Army veterans in the Club, please check your old footlocker and see if you have something we can borrow. As always, we standby to answer any questions!Lastly, we extend an invitation to new club members who are not familiar with the parade float project. Come out and see the effort behind what makes the SBMC one of Jacksonville's finest clubs. ** Food and drinks will be provided.

MONTHLY GOLF OUTING
|
MONTHLY GOLF OUTING FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13th AT
OAK MARSH ON AMELIA ISLAND.
Are you ready for another round of golf at Amelia Island Plantation? In July we played the Ocean Links course, this time, on Friday, November 13th it will be the Oak Marsh course. Many players consider this one to be the better of the two courses, although without the direct ocean views. For only $60.00 (+tax) I expect our 32 spots to sell out very quickly. It will give you green/cart fees and range balls prior to your round. We'll have a shotgun start at 12:30PM.
The Oak Marsh course is one of the truly classic Pete Dye-designed golf courses in the world. Built in 1972 it's noted for its tight fairways and small greens, meandering along serpentine salt marsh creeks and through the moss draped heritage oaks for which Amelia Island is famous. At par 72, this 6,500-yard course has 14 holes with water hazards and numerous bulk-headed greens. A variety of bunkers add to the challenge and a natural approach has been maintained with the use of coquina shell cart paths, native plant life and preserved habitats for the local wildlife.
Oak Marsh is included in Golf Digest's prestigious list of the "Top 75 Resort Courses in the U.S" and was also selected by Travel & Leisure Golf as one of "Florida's 50 Finest Courses." This is another SBMC golf experience not to be missed! So, come join your fellow SBMC members and friends for a great round of golf among the oaks and marshes. To reserve your spot(s) contact Nico Hogeveen at (904) 403-6754 or send an email to [email protected].
