PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Nancy Rubin from the Jacksonville Port Authority was our guest speaker last week. She filled us in on the new improvements that have made JAXPORT a strong economic driver for the city. Most of us were already familiar with JAXPORT's cargo, container, and cruise ship services, but we were surprised to learn that over 650,000 vehicles are also moved through their facility each year.
We still have spots open for our 2018 Crump Kirby Youth Achiever Program Charity Golf Classic on May 21. Special thanks to StormForce Jacksonville for coming in as our Title Sponsor. This is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year, benefiting a scholarship program for Southside area students. Click here for details and to register as a golfer.
Don't forget we are holding our monthly Table Talk Business Networking Session this week. 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, May 16.
ANNUAL WINE RAFFLE - MAY 30
Bring your favorite red or white to a Wednesday meeting as a donation, then purchase your raffle ticket for $10. Prices will go up each month. So far we have 31 bottles in the collection.
