 A “GROWING” event, the Club is proud to host a TREE GIVEAWAY for the fourth year in a row! This is our way of continuing to replant and keep Mandarin “green.” Over 500 FREE TREES are available to residents living in the 32223, 32257, and 32258 ZIP codes. But only one (1) tree per household/vehicle please. Food trucks will offer breakfast as the morning begins and lunch items later. Nitrogen Creamery will keep the kids cool and happy! And this year there will be FUN children's activities they won’t want to miss!
Speakers inside the Club building include Larry Figart from the Duval County Extension Office on best tree planting and tree care practices, a talk on how to attract garden friendly butterflies and a local beekeeper on the critical role of bees and the production of local honey! The Club will host a special table with membership information and retail merchandise sales including the popular Mandarin baseball caps. And a very special Prize Drawing will tempt everyone to purchase tickets! VOLUNTEERS ARE ENCOURAGED AND WELCOME!! Want to help? Please contact the club at 904-268-1622 or e-mail.  U.S. FLAGS WILL BE HONORABLY RETIRED - The Mandarin Community Club is collecting worn, used, or damaged flags for proper and honorable disposal. In partnership with SAR (Sons of the American Revolution) the Club will hold a flag retirement ceremony as a valuable service to our members and the community. This is a moving and educational experience for all who attend as an American flag is deconstructed while the history and meaning of each component is explained. We would like to thank Thompson Ace Hardware for their role in collecting worn, used or faded flags for this event.
If you have a flag you would like retired and properly handled for disposal, a collection box will be located outside the Club at 12447 Mandarin Road from 7 AM - 3 PM on Feb 9th until the ceremony begins. Members and guests are invited and encouraged to attend this highly symbolic ceremony. Check our website at mandarincommunityclub.org or call the Club at 904-268-1622 for more information.  The first Third Thursday Lecture of 2020 kicks off on February 27th* with local author, Greg Estevez, who will be presenting on Edisto Island, South Carolina, as well as his family connections to the rich history and heritage from slavery times to present day. Some may be surprised by the historical connection Mandarin has with Edisto Island. There once was a small African-American community on Old St. Augustine Road that was also called Edisto. The people who settled there had migrated from Edisto, SC to this area after the Civil War. They started a church there, Julington Baptist Church, one of Mandarin’s three historic African-American churches that still exist.
As the Mandarin Museum & Historical Society was undergoing research for the development of an exhibit on African-American history in Mandarin, which will be part of the newly expanded museum building, they came across a couple of names connected to Mandarin and Edisto communities. *Please note this lecture will be on the 4th Thursday of February due to a conflict at the Mandarin Community Club Third Thursday Lectures are presented by the Mandarin Museum & Historical Society in partnership with and held at the Mandarin Community Club, located at 12447 Mandarin Rd. Refreshments begin at 6:30 pm with the lecture at 7 pm. It is free and all are invited and encouraged to attend.
