Mandarin Art Festival

Veterans Day

The Mandarin Community Club observes and honors our Veterans with a wreath laying ceremony held within the Billard Commemorative Park around Veterans Day.  This brief ceremony is normally held Sunday before Veterans Day, unless noted.  This event is free and open to the public.

Storm Preparation

Storm and weather preparation is an important part of living in northeast Florida.  The Mandarin Community Club has hosted public storm and weather alert preparation events for the members of its community.  These events have included guests speakers and local businesses from NOAA/National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, City of Jacksonville, American Red Cross, local meteorologists, Hagan Ace Hardware, and more.  These events are vital to preparing the community for the hurricane and storm season.

Candidate Forum

During local election season, the Mandarin Community Club have hosted candidate forums to provide the public the opportunity to meet their candidates and ask questions regarding their community and city. Recently, Mandarin Community Club hosted the 2015 Candidate Forums in March 2015.  

These events are free and open to the public.

Annual Membership Meeting & Celebration

The Mandarin Community Club hosts an annual membership meeting & holiday event at the Club.  The new slate of board members and officers are presented during the annual event for the following year at the Club.  General elections take place in November.  Members and their guests turn out for this annual tradition as we wrap-up the year.
