PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

It has been my pleasure serving the members of Southside Business Men's Club as your fifth female president, in our 91st year. We are a fantastic organization, and when you are involved, you get so much back. If you are not involved, now is the time.

The new board has so much in store for your enjoyment and involvement. Please jump in and ask how you can help or participate. Happy New Year to everyone. See you at the next meeting when we will honor our own and install the 2024 board.

Respectfully,

Jeanne Maron

2023 President
