TODAY’S SPEAKERS
 
The golf coaches from the three Prosper high schools joined us for lunch today. We got to hear about each school’s programs and prospects for the current season. It sounds like our kids are blessed to have such a great group of adults caring for their character development as well as golfing skills.
