St. John's Breakfast, Saturday May 3
St. John's Breakfast - Saturday, May 3rd - come with a favorite dish and we will eat at 8:00 a.m. Bring friends and if they want to bring food, fine. If not, we will have plenty.
At 8:30 Mr. Jimmy Pryor will be our speaker. He is the owner and president of the SunBody Hat Company. He has combined our own Texas hats with Guatemolan influence and has come up with something that even our Texas cowboys and ranchers appreciate and purchase. It is a fascinating story and one that you won't want to miss!!
As usual if you have questions or need a ride, call Linda or George Dobbin,281-778-5348.
