PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

The Southside Business Men's Club has survived the Great Depression, The Second World War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Iranian Crisis, 9-1-1, the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Great Recession of 2008. We have always not, only survived, but lead the way to survival and success.

We will do it again! I realize this is a unique and difficult period in the life of our Jacksonville community, but we as a club will rise to not only survive, we will lead in our efforts to assist the community and our members to survive and prosper.

You will learn of many initiatives to assist you and our community to survive and prosper. Please include us in your prayers, and watch for ways we will assist.
