2. INTERCLUB WITH DEERWOOD CLUB On March 28, we held our March interclub with the Deerwood Club. The Beaches club was represented by Leigh Roberts, Hugh Patterson, John Bates and Bill Montgomery. A most interesting presentation was given by Builders Care, the Northeast Florida Builders Association's community service initiative. This group serves Jacksonville's indigent-primarily elderly and disabled-with restorations of their deteriorating houses. Bill Montgomery Corky Borders delivered a short memorial speech about Ish Brant, our club founder and most celebrated member. Thanks to Mr. Brant’s original efforts, our club has been able to do hundreds of projects helping children and the community for the last 60 years. Among many accomplishments over the years, Mr. Brant was assistant principal and head football coach at Fletcher High School, three-term mayor of Neptune Beach, and Superintendent of Duval County Schools. He was a positive influence and role model for countless students. After his death in 2003, The Ish Brant Scholarship was created, and is awarded every year to a deserving student at Fletcher High School. We will always remember Ish Brant. He had a smile and warm handshake for everyone.
