This picture was from the lunch meeting this afternoon in downtown Lubbock, near City Hall. We were discussing various ways how the city can lend additional support for the Susan Polgar National Invitational for Girls, Susan Polgar All-Star Training Camp, SPICE Cup, Texas Women’s Open Championship, SPICE Cup Grand Prix, Lubbock Open, etc.
