PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Last week we had an extended networking session and member introductions. It was great to see all the new faces in the room. We have a lot of events on the calendar that are fast approaching. Our annual Public Safety Awards presentation is August 10. Let’s show up and support our men and women from the police and fire departments. Wednesday, September 7 will be our Past Presidents’ Day Luncheon. Each of our attending Past Presidents and their guest will receive a complimentary lunch and a mention during our program.

One of our biggest charity events of the year is the 8th Annual JROTC Charity Clay Shoot. It will be held Friday, September 23. Registration is now open and can be found here. Let’s get those sponsorships in and support a great cause.

This Wednesday we welcome Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp owner, Ken Babby, who will be giving us a season update and talking about the team. It is always an informative meeting. Be on the lookout for a networking event at the ballpark soon. Stay cool out there!

PAST PRESIDENTS DAY

Please join us on Wednesday, September 7 from Noon to 1:30pm as we host our Annual Past Presidents’ Day Luncheon.

Each of our attending Past Presidents and their guest will receive a complimentary lunch and a mention during our program.

We will also be welcoming a very special surprise guest speaker!

Don't miss this opportunity to honor the men and women who have helped build and serve our great club.

8th ANNUAL JROTC CHARITY CLAY SHOOT

Please join us to help raise funds to support Duval County JROTC Cadets fund their higher education.

Unlike other scholarship programs, awards are not exclusively for college and can be applied to any trade school or service academy of the cadets' choosing. We'll be joined by approximately 30 cadets from Riverside High, FKA Robert E Lee High School's Naval JROTC program who will be helping work the event.

Savage Bros Painting & Dunkin Donuts have renewed their commitments once again to present this event, and we look forward to many other returning sponsors and shooters.

Registration includes 100 targets, 12 or 20 gauge shells, BBQ lunch, and a VERY rewarding experience.
