YPO Luncheon

Description

This month's YPO luncheon will be held at the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce. Rather than lunch being "on your own," we will have Jason's Deli put together a lunch for us so we are collecting lunch fees in advance. Please register early so we have a head count for the food order! Our guest speaker will be Felicia Young, and her bio is below. Hope to see you all there!
