They will kick off with an update from Lee McCleary titled “Looking into the Crystal Ball for Navarro County.”

He graduated from Dallas Baptist University with a B.S. degree in business and an M.B.A. degree in marketing. He is also well known for helping many students from this area in their tennis career. His wife Hanna, a new member of Kinsloe House, will be joining him for the luncheon and will be welcomed by Kinsloe members.
