Saturday Mornings and Candidate Forums

Robin and I would like to express our thanks to the folks that have joined us for our morning breakfasts we have enjoyed the company and topics or conversation. I did not know we had a gold prospector amongst us. The times and location of where we eat breakfast can be found on the jcrp website calendar.

The Cleburne candidate forum had a small turnout but was a good forum all the same and received a nice layout from the Cleburne Times Review. We hope to see more of you at the Burleson forum which is Monday the 25th doors open at 6pm and is located at the Burleson Elks high school cafeteria.
