Stewarding Our Legacy Dear Members, September marks the beginning of one of the best times of the year at San Jose Country Club. With football season underway, cooler weather on the horizon, and a full calendar of golf, tennis, dining, family, and social events, there is tremendous energy around the Club. Whether you're attending the Labor Day Luau, cheering on the Jaguars with fellow members, enjoying one of our outstanding wine dinners, or participating in our many fall activities, I hope you'll take every opportunity to enjoy everything San Jose has to offer.

Our San Jose Family This month, I would like to begin by recognizing our incredible staff and reflecting on a tragedy that has deeply affected our entire Club. Many of you are aware of the devastating fire that impacted Genti Manati, a valued member of our kitchen team, and his family. Words cannot adequately express the heartbreak we all feel for Genti, his wife, and their family following the unimaginable loss of their three young children. As a Club, we grieve alongside them and remain committed to supporting them during this incredibly difficult time. I want to sincerely thank the many members who have reached out with prayers, messages of encouragement, and financial

support through both the GoFundMe campaign and the Lion's Den Foundation. Your generosity and compassion demonstrate what makes San Jose Country Club so much more than a place to play golf or enjoy dinner; it is a community that comes together when one of our own is in need. Please continue to keep Genti, his wife, their children, and their extended family in your thoughts and prayers.

2027 Board of Nominations One of the Club's most important governance responsibilities each year is identifying future leaders for our Board. I am pleased to congratulate Chris Folds, Jaime Getz, Marshall Hall, and Brent Latour on their nominations as candidates for the Board of Governors. I would also like to thank Aaron Curtis, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, and the entire committee for the time, thoughtfulness, and professionalism they brought to this important process. As outlined in Section 4.4(C) of our Bylaws, the Nominating Committee is structured independently of the Board and Club officers. The committee consists of a Chair and six Club members, solicits recommendations from the membership, and no member of the committee may be nominated by the committee itself. This structure helps ensure a

5


fair, transparent, and independent process for identifying future Board candidates. In accordance with the Bylaws, voting members will recieve an electronic ballot later this month, with voting taking place from late September through the second Wednesday in October. Additional communications will be provided outlining the election process and voting procedures. If you have an interest in serving the Club through committee involvement next year, I encourage you to reach out to either me or Stephen Whitson. We will send a separate formal communication regarding committee service later this year, but it is never too early to express your interest in becoming more involved and serving the Club.

Bylaws Modernization Later this month, members will receive information regarding three proposed amendments to our Bylaws designed to modernize certain aspects of the Club's governance. The communication and electronic ballot will provide detailed explanations of each proposed amendment, along with the rationale behind each recommendation. Members who prefer to vote electronically will be able to do so from the convenience of their home, while those who wish to vote in person will also have that opportunity at the Club. I encourage every voting member to review the proposed changes carefully. Once the information has been distributed, I am more than happy to speak with any member who has questions about the proposed amendments.

Thank You To Our Staff Finally, I want to once again recognize our outstanding staff for everything they do to make San Jose such a special place. Our golf course continues to recover beautifully following the recent Curfew treatment, thanks to the tremendous work of Josh Urbanec and our Golf Course Maintenance team. The condition of the golf course continues to be one of the Club's greatest strengths and is a direct reflection of their dedication and expertise. Our Tennis team, led by Marie Waller, continues to provide exceptional programming, instruction, and events for players of all ages and skill levels. Our Fitness team, led by Jeff Hewitt, has kept the Fitness Center extremely active through group classes, personal training, and individual workouts. Our Food & Beverage team, led by Clubhouse Manager Adrian Knight and Executive Chef Terra Parker, continues to elevate the dining experience at San Jose. Together with their talented front-of-house and culinary teams, they remain focused on delivering exceptional hospitality, quality cuisine, and consistent service for our members and guests. We appreciate their commitment to continuously improving every dining experience at the Club. I would also like to recognize our Golf Operations team, led by Todd Bork. From the professionals in the Golf Shop to our outside operations and cart staff, along with the continued improvements in merchandising and product selection, your commitment to delivering an exceptional golf experience is

greatly appreciated. The Board and membership sincerely thank you for taking such great care of us. Football season is here, fall weather is hopefully not far behind, and another outstanding season of programming awaits us. I encourage everyone to continue taking advantage of the exceptional golf, tennis, fitness, dining, and social events that make San Jose Country Club such a special place. Thank you for your continued support and for everything you do to make San Jose Country Club a truly special community. See you at the Club!

I encourage every member to learn more about The Lion's Den Foundation and consider supporting this outstanding organization. Please reach out to Ladson Montgomery (lmontgomery@phoenixrealty.n et) with any questions on the Foundation.

See you at the Club!

Tradition Lives Here

Welcome To Our New Members We are both Jacksonville natives, graduating from Sandalwood High School and Stanton College Prep, with deep roots in the San Jose and Beaches communities. After college and marriage, we moved to San Diego to build our careers but always planned to return home to raise our family surrounded by loved ones. We returned to Jacksonville in 2015 and have since welcomed four children: Fiona (11), Eloise (9), Robert "Bo" (7), and Daphne (4). Fiona will attend San Jose Catholic this fall, while Eloise, Bo, and Daphne will attend Hendricks Avenue Elementary. As a family, we stay active through sports and the arts, from martial arts, theater, soccer, and dance to family pickleball matches on our home court.

Bob & Sarah Whitkop

Sarah has worked in pharmaceutical development for 14 years, and Bob has nearly 20 years of experience in IT engineering. We both work from home in the original San Jose Estates neighborhood, directly across from SJCC, making the club's rich history and connection to our community especially meaningful. With many of our neighbors and friends already members, we believe SJCC would be an excellent fit for our family and look forward to building lasting friendships & becoming active participants in the club.

Welcome To Our New Members Charlie and Megan recently relocated to Jacksonville from Florida's Space Coast and are happy to be putting down roots, settling into their new home, and exploring the area. Charlie works in the transportation and logistics industry, and Meg works in pharmaceuticals. They are thrilled to welcome their first child this fall. Charlie is an avid golfer and Meg is learning to play. They enjoy fitness, travel, cooking together, and playing with their beloved dog Patton.

Charlie & Megan Evans

Charlie and Meg look forward to becoming engaged members of the club community and building lasting friendships.

As a Jacksonville native, I am proud to apply for membership at San Jose Country Club. I grew up in the Bartram area, just off Racetrack Rd. After high school at Stanton, I attended the University of Florida and graduated in 2019 with a bachelor’s in biology. Although a lifelong Gator, I moved to New York to attend medical school at the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Brian Li

In 2023, I returned home to complete my residency training at UF Health. Membership at San Jose is my residency graduation gift to myself for all those long nights, weekend shifts, and 24 hour call in the ICU. I am continuing my medical education at UF and subspecializing in nephrology. Outside of medicine, I enjoy golfing and fitness. I am looking to expand my hobbies with my new found free time. I look forward to meeting everyone.

Welcome To Our New Members Both Florida natives, Nick grew up in Sarasota, while Missy was raised in Ormond Beach. They met while attending the University of North Florida (SWOOP!), where Missy later earned her doctorate in Educational Leadership.

Zach & Ferrin Schooler

They love spending time outdoors: traveling, golfing, fishing, beaching, pooling, and exercising. Indoors, they enjoy cooking, reading, and showing off serious talent in hair, makeup, and fashion, skills that come in handy for making sure everyone looks presentable walking into church on Sundays. The girls stay active in Dance and Gymnastics, and when football season arrives, the Schoolers proudly cheer on their Jaguars, decades long loyal fans through every high, low, and “maybe next year.” type years.

After a busy summer, it is great to see league matches, clinics, junior tennis, pickleball, lessons, and plenty of friendly competition filling the courts. Fall is always one of our favorite times of year, and we love seeing familiar faces return while welcoming new players into the San Jose Racquets community.

Winning is always exciting, but great teammates, good sportsmanship, and enjoying the competition are what truly make league tennis special.
