NEWS - FUTURE PROGRAMS & UPCOMING EVENTS
The Club mournes the loss of former member Michael Oakes. Mike passed away on October 15, 2019.
He was born on January 10, 1946. He was born in Fayette, Alabama and grew up in Memphis earning his BS in Engineering from Memphis State University and his Masters Degree from the University of California, Berkley in 1982. He served in the U.S. Navy Civil Engineer Corps until 1992. He was the Shelby County Engineer for eleven years and later served as Director of Public Works at Russellville Arkansas. He brought touches of artistry to what are usually boring civil works projects. He was an active member of the Club since 1999 and promoted the Club membership to his colleagues. He will be sorely missed. Go in peace, Mike. Go in peace.
