UPCOMING PROGRAM

This week we welcome Jeff Rountree of Hoods for Heroes. 
"Earlier this year I learned of an epidemic going on in Fire service. Firefighters are being diagnosed  and dying from cancer at an alarming rate. We found a way to provide our local heroes life-saving  chemical blocking equipment to firefighters. In the first 6 months, we raised almost $250k and  distributed over 600+ hoods. Our mission is simple, to reduce firefighter cancer one particulate  blocking hood at a time."
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Last week we welcomed Kristin Carter of Take Stock in Children. Ms. Carter gave an informative talk of how TSIC assists low income children in achieving educational goals that may otherwise be unattainable. With the assistance of mentors and college coaches, these children are guided throughout their middle and high school years and go on to be successful adults. If you are interested in becoming a mentor to one of these students, please visit takestockjax.org for more information.
