PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Last week we hosted our Annual Public Safety Awards. It was great to have a packed house and honor the brave men and women of both JSO and JFRD. We got to hear why they are deserving recipients of the awards. Special guest Congressman John Rutherford was also present to show his support for the 2022 JSO Police Officer of the Year, Corrections Officer of the Year, JFRD Firefighter of the Year, and JFRD Paramedic of the Year.

This Wednesday we welcome Sheryl Johnson from Hearts 4 Minds. We also have a golf outing this Friday. See you Wednesday!

2022 President

AUGUST GOLF OUTING

If you know someone that would like to be kept informed on our future golf outings, please have them email secretary@sbmcjax.com to be added to the mailing list.

Join us for our monthly Fernandina Beach Golf Club

Twenty-seven holes of golf and proximity to Jacksonville and the beach make Fernandina Beach Golf Club one of the most popular municipal golf facilities in the country. The sub-tropical climate and warm Florida sun make our impeccable greens that much more enjoyable and enticing. Our generous fairways and native foliage decorate the smooth green of each course and relax your senses. Each course measures well over 3,000 yards from the championship tees and presents a one-of-a-kind challenge.
