ERIC CHILDERS AT JULY 17  

SIERRA CLUB COFFEE

 

          Newly elected Fernandina Beach Commissioner Eric Childers will participate in the July 17 “Commissioners & Conservation Coffee” sponsored by the Nassau Sierra Club.  It will be held from 10 am to 11 am at the Kafé Haus on Sadler Road in Fernandina Beach.

          This series of events with county and city officials is designed to provide an opportunity for the public to discuss environmental and conservation issues and open a continuing dialogue between the public and elected officials on concerns about preserving the natural beauty of Nassau County, conserving open space, obtaining funding to protect sensitive land and other issues. 

Childers, who works in sales for Rick Keffer's automobile dealership, is president of the Fernandina Pirates Club where he has been a prime mover in the club's evolution into a nonprofit group that makes significant volunteer contributions to our community.  He's been involved in oversight of the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival.
