PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

I 'd like to say how great it was to see many of you at our first live meeting since March! Last week we welcomed State Representative Paul Renner as he spoke to us of the exceptional economy Florida had built prior to Covid-19 and how we should be able to bounce back quickly. He spoke of Florida's efforts towards addressing education, water supply quality and healthcare reform in the interest of continuing to make Jacksonville a desirable and great place to live.

2020 President

JUNE GOLF OUTING
 
Join us for our June golf outing at Hidden Hills Golf Club!

Our 6,892-yard private golf course at Hidden Hills Country Club was previously the site of the Greater Jacksonville Open, a tournament that eventually evolved into what is now the TPC Sawgrass. Among winners at our course were Gary Player, Tony Jacklin and Don January.

It's now an Arnold Palmer Signature layout, known for its intriguing curves and contours and rolling fairways, a setting that you don't often find in Florida. Our fairways are lined with majestic pines and oaks; our lush greens have won a name for Hidden Hills in North Florida.
