PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

If you missed last weeks meeting you missed a great talk with Don Fox, CEO of Firehouse subs and the announcement of our Volunteer of the Quarter for Q2 2021. Next time you see Ben Williams, thank him for all he does for the club and congratulate him on his award!

If you missed the car show yesterday, you missed a great time and family event. Remember to check out our website to keep informed of our upcoming events and to make sure you can stay involved!

NOVEMBER GOLF OUTING

If you know someone that would like to be kept informed on our future golf outings, please have them email [email protected] to be added to the mailing list.

Join us for our monthly Golf Outing at The Golf Club at North Hampton!

The Golf Club at North Hampton offers a traditional Scottish links-style course in Fernandina Beach, Florida. Designed by Arnold Palmer, the layout meanders through dramatic elevation changes of over 40 feet and ten spring-fed lakes lined with coquina boulders. Sprawled across rolling hills and wild grasses, the golf course is sculpted from beautiful Florida woodlands, offering a round that is as scenic as it is challenging.
