August Presidents Message – Education Highlights

President, The Right Men’s Club

I am delighted to reflect on the success of our August meeting, where we were honored to hear from our guest speaker, Erika Donalds. She provided insightful updates on educational developments under the Trump Administration and recent legislative and executive actions in the State of Florida. Her presentation highlighted a promising future for education, inspiring optimism for our community and beyond.

We also had the privilege of hearing from four of our scholarship recipients, who are excelling in their college journeys. Their achievements reflect the impact of our commitment to education, as we proudly awarded $22,000 in scholarships this year, including $2,000 annually to each of these talented students. Their words filled us with pride and reaffirmed our dedication to supporting the next generation.

Our ongoing efforts to fund scholarships and veteran services are made possible through the success of our annual Salute to Veterans event. This year, we are thrilled to welcome Congressman Byron Donalds as our featured speaker. In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, we will also host special speakers in the VIP room for an exclusive meet-and-greet, promising an unforgettable evening of fellowship and patriotism.
