PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
   
Last week our guest speaker was Bill Allen, Development Director for the FSCJ Foundation. Bill shared how he and FSCJ will be expanding on opportunities for graduates. Not only with AAs but also in the technical fields. We learned that FSCJ is a great resource for businesses to use for technical talent.
 
This week our guest speaker is Jerry Mallot of JAXUSA Partnership. This group has worked hard to position Jacksonville as an attractive place for businesses and employers. It'll be interesting to hear Jerry's thoughts on his role and where Jacksonville is headed next.
 
Be sure to sign-up for our Meet-a-Member and Monthly Golf Outing (details below). These are both great opportunities to network and introduce new people to SBMC.

See you Wednesday! 

Steve DeSorbo 
2018 President


MONTHLY TABLE TALKS
   
Remember that we are holding our monthly "Table Talk" every third Wednesday of the month. At these meetings, we will forgo having a Spotlight Speaker and instead use the time to facilitate networking and business growth directly from your lunch table, using a set of structured discussion questions. Our next Table Talk will be Wednesday, June 20.
 
MONTHLY GOLF OUTING - JUNE 22
   
Amelia National is geared to those well acquainted with the world's finest private golf clubs. At Amelia National Tom Fazio has created a masterpiece - a course of stellar natural beauty designed for championship play, yet forgiving enough for the non-professional to enjoy again and again.

FISHING TRIP - JULY 21

Same as before, the rates are $85 for each member and one guest of a member (2 people would be $170).  All other guests and non-members pay $95 each. Click here to pay online.

In addition to passage on the boat, you get Rod and Reel, bait, tackle/rigs, help from the crew, a box lunch from Honey Baked Hams, soft drinks, water and BEER all day.
