Last week I ran my first meeting of 2018 and you all made me feel very comfortable. We learned a lot from our guest speaker City Councilman Aaron Bowman. He shared information about the JaxUSA Partnership and the great things it is doing for our city. Mr. Bowman is also the SVP, Business Development for JaxUSA.
During that meeting I shared that we received a $1,000 donation for the YAP Scholarship Program. The donor is Allen Davis. He received a scholarship from SBMC in 1978 to assist in funding his freshman year of college. Mr. Davis writes "I appreciate what this club did for me and I want to give a little back to help the Club help others continue their education." This is a shining example of how SBMC is truly making a difference in our community.
Our guest speaker this week is Toula Wootan, Director of Programs for Community Hospice. She'll share her main principals and tips for working caregivers with aging loved ones.
See you Wednesday,
Steve DeSorbo
2018 SBMC President
