PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Last week we held what I believe to be one of our best programs of the year, our Public Service Awards. It's always great to recognize the men and women who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe. This year it was also very nice to see so many of our members in attendance. I hope you are all planning to attend SBMC's first flag retirement ceremony on August 22. I look forward to seeing a great turnout for this event!

Brandon Stanko

2021 President

SBMC FLAG RETIREMENT CEREMONY

Retire Your Old Glory with Respect

Honor our flag and experience club camaraderie by joining the SBMC family and the Riverside High JROTC for a flag retirement ceremony and potluck lunch Sunday, August 22, at noon.

The location is the Dudley Pavilion, 11480 Pine Street near the Avenues Mall. Led by the JROTC cadets, the flag ceremony will properly retire worn, faded and damaged American flags with due respect, as proscribed by law.

If you’ve never attended a flag retirement ceremony, plan to attend—your patriotism will be stoked! Of course, all members and friends owning a flag in need of retirement are welcomed. Also, bring your favorite lunch dish.

Sponsors are needed to cover the cost of beverages—no alcohol allowed—with all overage going to the SBMC JROTC Scholarship Fund.

For more information, contact Scholarship Committee Chair Howard Caplan, (904)503-8847, howard@caplanlaw.us. Sponsors should email Mark Wilkinson to register and pay for their sponsorship at mark@wilkcpa.com.

Mark your calendars for these upcoming events you won't want to miss! More details coming soon.
