On last Thursday, July 29th, over 70 citizens of Jacksonville honored Pepper Peete, Executive Director of The First Tee of Jacksonville. The Feeding Dreams breakfast event was held at The Ritz Theatre and Museum with business leaders, elected officials, community and religious leaders attending. Derek Igou, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer for the City, introduced Pepper and presented her a letter of commendation from Mayor John Peyton, and Jeffrey Tijo representing General Mills presented her with a plaque recognizing her work at The First Tee of Jacksonville. Pepper eloquently thanked everyone and asked the audience to go on-line at www.feedingdreams.com to cast a vote for the city of Jacksonville, for her and the kids out at The First Tee of Jacksonville.

Patricia having a candy craving!
We are getting closer to the date of our annual banquet. This year we are honored to have Dean
Black as our guest speaker. Dean is running against incumbent Corrine Brown for Congressional seat District 3. For more information, deanblack2010.comAs most of you are aware the cost per person will be $55.00. I’m hoping for a tremendous turn out, in fact, I’d like to ask each of you to please support the Club by attending. This is an important event for us and we need to be united in our efforts to keep our Club viable. Plus, our elected officials appreciate our recognition. I’m hoping that most members will invite one or more guests. Plus, we are having a silent auction this year. Please see Nancy Burnett if you’d like to bring something.
Just a little bit of August trivia…….
August is the height of the summer time in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere. The longest days of the year are passed, but the hot days remain. In the northern regions and mountains, cool nights and early frosts let one know that the summer is about to come to an end. In the Southern Hemisphere, August means the winter will soon be over. The birds are already planning to fly south for the winter. The insects are noisier and more numerous than in any other month. This is perhaps the busiest month for businesses, since most people take their vacations in August.
More interesting info about the month August is there are EIGHT COUNTRIES who gained independence during the month of August.
-August 09, 1965 Singapore separated from the Federation of Malaysia and became independent.
-August 10, 1822 Ecuador became an independent country.
-August 14, 1947 Pakistan became independent (included East Bengal region as a whole).
-August 15, 1945 Korea became an independent country.
-August 15, 1947 India became an independent country.
-August 17, 1945 Indonesia became an independent country.
-August 25, 1825 Uruguay became independent from Brazil.
-August 31, 1957 Malaysia became an independent country.
To date, we’ve had tremendous speakers at our monthly member meetings thanks to Ray Turner. In
addition, some of those meetings we’ve had two speakers. Remember to thank Ray for an excellent job!I hope the majority of you come to our 8/10/2010 meeting because we will be voting on the New Board. We need your votes as well any suggestions you may have for additions to the Board.
Sincerely,
Patricia

Team Teal came to North Jax at the Aloft Hotel with a big bang? Dr. Chris Scuderi put together a great event to boost interest in the Jaguars. The event was headlined by Tony Boselli former Jaguars' Pro Bowl Offensive Lineman. City Councilman Ray Holt led the program off as he introduced Dr. Chris Scuderi, the sponsor of the North Jax Team Teal Group. The event had 100 plus attending with Northside Business Leaders while represented with Steve Burnett, Dick Berry, Dewitt & Sandy Gibbs, Eric Smith and Paul Forte. Dr. Chris Scuderi who opened his New Family Clinic at Yellow Bluff & New Berlin Road, recently, emphasized the need to support the Jaguars now and in the future. Dr. Chris Scuderi thanked all those attending and a special thanks to the host Aloft Hotel. He also thanked Northside Business Leaders for their help in promoting the event. Dr. Chris Scuderi then introduced Tony Boselli.
Tony was no stranger to people attending as he played with the Jaguars till his retirement. Tony also has been involved in many Civic projects including his kids program. He mentioned the great impact that the Jaguars makes on the community and we really needed to support our team by buying tickets to get rid of the blackouts. Tony said he knows things are tight, but if you or your business can afford it please support our team. Tony stayed to sign various Jaguars items that the attendees brought to the get together.
In addition to Tony there were two very attractive Roar Cheerleaders taking pictures with various guest and their children. The kids really enjoyed that as while as their dads.
Thanks To Ray Holt, Aloft Hotel and Dr. Chris Scuderi and his team of helpers for bringing this event to the North Jax area. Also a special thanks to those who attended this event along with guests Tony Boselli, the Roar and various Jaguars Marketing Group individuals.
Go Jaguars!
