We had a great meeting last week with Jeff Sheffield as our guest speaker. Jeff is the Executive Director of the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization. We learned there are quite a few impressive improvements coming down the pipe for Jacksonville motorists, like real time travel updates via Bluetooth and accident management upgrades. It's a hot market right now for the clean fuel industry and the North Florida TPO is spearheading advancements in this industry.
Our guest speaker next week is Michael J. Liles, Executive Director of the Justice Coalition.
See you Wednesday,
Steve DeSorbo
2018 President

Many people who have played Arnold Palmer's courses in the Sunshine state say without a doubt, North Hampton is the best test of golf! Located only 25 minutes from downtown Jacksonville, North Hampton provides magnificent golf in a casual setting, spectacular conditioning and enough local wildlife to make you think you are on safari!
Cost each is $45.00 plus tax for greens/cart fees and range balls.

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, August 15.
