PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
   
Justice Coalition's Executive Director Michael J. Liles visited our club last week. Michael's personal tragedy has fueled this non-profit group to do great work in the justice and legal sector in Duval County. It was interesting to hear how his story has directed his work with passion.
 
Last Thursday we held a Member Hangout at the Blind Rabbit in Jax Beach, which was a blast! If you missed it, we've got a Meet-a-Member and Monthly Golf Outing scheduled in August. These are excellent ways to get to know your fellow SBMC members.
 
Our speaker this week is Mike Hogan, Supervisor of Elections.
   
See you Wednesday, 

Steve DeSorbo 
2018 President

MONTHLY GOLF OUTING - AUGUST 24
   
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!
 
 
 
Won't you join us?

Where: Golf Club at North Hampton 
22680 N Hampton Club Way,  Fernandina Beach, FL 32034

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.
