As we take a moment this Easter Sunday, I invite you to reflect not only on the significance of the holiday, but also on the powerful message of faith and renewal that comes with it.

What a wonderful week I had being your 2025 President; I don’t think I could be any prouder of our members than I am right now. Last Saturday, a group of our members lead by Adam Canni took time to volunteer with the Riverkeepers and pitched in to clean up our city. GREAT JOB to all who […]

Energy: This is the word that was most used to describe our past meeting. You might have not been able to see it, but if you attended this week’s meeting you certainly felt it! Energy: it’s what powers our cars, boats, and planes. It heats and cools our homes and offices. Most importantly, it is what powers us […]

Sometimes in life, you need to face your hurdles. This week’s quote I believe expresses the qualities that are embodied in each one of our Southside Business Men’s Club members.
