“Meninak is special because of our members – how we relate to one another and what we are abot to accomplish together.” – Meninak Pete Hallock

I am a Meninak!

These words have been spoken by over 100 years of Jacksonville’s most prominent civic and business leaders. Stating such is more than acknowledging membership in the Meninak Club of Jacksonville. It is also a statement of belief: belief in our community, in the goodness of humanity, and in our unwavering commitment to helping those in need. It is that belief that has shaped the club’s first century of achievement and which challenges today’s members to continue a path of service to perfect our next century.
