As we step into a new year, I want to take a moment to share my gratitude and hope—gratitude for the honor of serving as your President, and hope for a bright and prosperous year ahead for all of us.
Looking back on this past year, it’s been truly incredible. Together, we’ve celebrated the values that make SBMC so special: building strong relationships, supporting our community, and striving for excellence in all we do. From honoring our first responders to giving back through initiatives like the Christmas Kids Shopping Spree, and through major fundraisers such as the Skeet Shoot and the Golf Tournament, which help support our college grants program, we’ve made a real difference—not just as a club, but as a family.
One of the things I’m most proud of is how we’ve supported one another, both personally and professionally. This club is more than just a network; it’s a group of people who genuinely care about each other and the impact we make together. That’s what sets us apart.
As my term as President comes to a close, I’m excited for what’s next. We have an incredible slate of officers ready to lead, and I know they’ll continue to guide SBMC toward even greater achievements. Each of you plays a vital role in our success, and I encourage you to keep bringing your energy, ideas, and passion to everything we do.
To wrap up, I want to wish you and your families a very Happy New Year. May 2025 bring you health, happiness, and success in all your endeavors. Thank you for trusting me with this role and for making this year unforgettable. It’s been a privilege to serve as your President.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Mike Best
2024 President
