Arlington Council
About the Arlington Council
The Arlington Council was the first of eight councils established over 50 years ago with a mission to help Arlington flourish by supporting local businesses, schools, and the community. The Council is extremely engaged with the OAI Arlington Mod & More Home Tour, historic Norman Studios, and other initiatives aimed at promoting this unique and historically rich area of Jacksonville. The group also supports five local schools with a Teacher Appreciation Program, which includes gathering school supplies and teacher gifts and supporting other school needs throughout the year. The Arlington Council offers newcomers and long-time members alike a welcoming atmosphere and great opportunities to learn, network, and serve the community.
Meets last Wednesday of month, 7:30 a.m., at Dolphin Pointe Health Care. $15 for council members, $20 for non-members pre-registered, and $25 for all walk-ups.

Teacher Appreciation Breakfast
Every year we turn one of our breakfasts into an amazing Teacher’s Appreciation event. We recognize the five local Arlington schools, their Principals and their Teachers of the Year. We present to them school supplies and paper that we have collected over the past year and a special gift basket from our Arlington Council members.
The Arlington Council recently donated school supplies to Fort Caroline Middle School of Visual and Performing Arts. Principal Wellington expressed gratitude for the contribution as the school wrapped up the academic year. Special thanks to Brandon Mack, Arlington Council Vice President, for delivering the supplies and helping make this donation possible.
