    Salvation Army Hope House program manager
    guest speaker at Nov. 21 MNC luncheon


    Richard Thompson


              Richard Thompson, program director of the Salvation Army’s Northeast Florida Hope House, will be guest speaker at the Men’s Newcomers Club luncheon Thursday, Nov.21, 11:30 a.m., at the Fernandina Beach Golf Club on Bill Melton Road.

              Richard has been with the Hope House since April 2023 and became program director last December. He was originally social services/volunteer coordinator bringing his extensive experience in program management, contact center operations, volunteer coordination, and team development to the job.

              With a passion for service, Richard is dedicated to fulfilling the mission of The Salvation Army: meeting human needs without discrimination. His leadership is focused on making a meaningful impact in the community through compassion and service.

              The Hope House is the northeast Florida post of the Salvation Army, providing emergency services for those in need, especially homeless.   It depends on local donations (money, food, and clothing) and volunteers.  

              There will be a social half-hour beginning at 11:30 a.m.  followed by a buffet luncheon at noon.  Our luncheons are open to members who may also register one male guest, and to non-member men who are considering joining the club.

              The Club expects all attendees to be fully vaccinated from COVID 19. 

              To register for the meeting, click on the register box nearby. The Club has a capacity of 120 for lunch.  Once registrations have reached that limit, a waiting list will be maintained.

              Cost to attend the golf club luncheon is $23 which can be paid by credit card when registering (click “Pay online”), or by clicking on “Invoice me” and sending a check to MNC PO Box 16291, Fernandina Beach, FL 32035 to arrive by Nov. 16.  Given the 100-person limit for in-person attendance, members’ registrations not paid by then will be cancelled to make room for waitlisted members.

    Our December Holiday tour will take us inside the historic St. Peter’s Church in Fernandina Beach.  The building was designed by Fernandina architect Robert Schuyler and constructed between 1881-1884, but severely damaged by a fire a few years later. Schuyler, also the architect for the Fairbanks House and the Amelia Schoolhouse, amongst other downtown properties, supervised the rebuilding and expansion before the turn of the century.  The structure is nicknamed “The Jewel of Centre Street.”  We will learn about the history of the parish property, see the exquisite woodwork of the sanctuary, the recently restored stained-glass windows, and hear the historic rare pipe organ. 

    We will meet in the courtyard on the north side of the Church at    10:00 AM on Tuesday the 3rd.
