| As the holiday season approaches, we’re reminded of the things that make this time of year truly special—Thanksgiving meals shared with family, the thrill (or challenge!) of Black Friday shopping, and the warmth of holiday gatherings, including our very own SBMC Holiday Party.This is also a season of reflection and gratitude. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the many blessings in our lives and the opportunities we have to make a difference. With a spirit of giving, we can extend our gratitude by giving back to those less fortunate.
One meaningful way to get involved is through our upcoming Christmas Kids Shopping Spree. This cherished tradition allows us to brighten the lives of children in need, spreading the joy of the season and showing them the true power of community.
| As we prepare for the festivities, let’s carry this spirit of generosity and gratitude with us. Together, we can make this holiday season a time of celebration, kindness, and meaningful impact.Wishing you all a blessed holiday season, |

Issue 254, November 10, 2024
| As we approach the upcoming vote for a new slate of officers, we are reminded of the importance of the peaceful transfer of power—a principle that sustains both our country and our club. Just as the office of the U.S. president renews through the will of the people, so too does our organization gain strength from each election, bringing in new leadership or advancing officers who have shown their dedication.Serving as your president this year has been a remarkable experience, filled with meaningful interactions and a deep involvement in the workings of our club. But like all good things, my term, too, must come to a close. I am grateful for the opportunity and look forward to supporting our next leaders as they continue to shape SBMC’s legacy.
In our upcoming meeting, the nominating committee will present the recommended slate of officers and board members to the club for the coming term. This process is a valuable opportunity for every member to participate in shaping the future of SBMC. At this meeting, anyone who wishes to nominate an alternative candidate will have the chance to do so, ensuring that every member’s voice can be heard.
Once all nominations are complete, we’ll close the nomination process. The results will then be published in our next newsletter, giving everyone a chance to review the candidates before our official vote, which will take place at the December meeting.
Your participation in these meetings and the voting process is what strengthens our organization, bringing fresh perspectives and dedication to each role. Let’s work together to continue the proud legacy of the Southside Business Men’s Club. |
