PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Happy new year! Congratulations to the new board and officers who were recently sworn in. It was an honor and privilege to be inducted as your 79th president last Wednesday. We have a great team assembled and we have some great things planned for this year. Let’s all get involved and start the year off strong.

I'd also like to congratulate Jepp Walter for being the 2021 Volunteer of the Year award winner.

This week we welcome Karen Mathis from the Jacksonville Daily Record who will give us her yearly update on what’s happening around Jacksonville. Remember this will be our final meeting at the Doubletree. See you all Wednesday!

MONTHLY GOLF OUTING

Join us for our monthly Golf Outing at Cimarrone Golf Club!

Established in 1988, Cimarrone is a semi private club whose mission is to provide a private club experience for its members and guests.

The golf course is a David Poselthwait championship design that meanders through the pine forests and thick marshlands of North Florida. The 6,900 yard layout plays along a mildly rolling terrain with significant fairway and green side mounds and plentiful water hazards. Rated 4 stars out of five by Golf Digest Places to Play, the course was chosen as one of the Top 100 Golf Courses in Florida.
