PROGRAM:  The West Galveston Island Property Owners Association is pleased to have Galveston Mayor Jim Yarbrough as our guest speaker to start the year off.  We had the Mayor kick off our 2015 and 2016 season and he has graciously accepted again to give us the status of Galveston.  We always have a great turnout for the Mayor and he has so many reports on the accomplishments and progress the city is achieving.
