Speakers

Our club is fortunate to have Jackson as our speaker on Feb 26.  Although most of us know of him from his accomplishments on the football field, Jackson is passionate about social justice.  He spent time in Thailand with two groups fighting sex trafficking and building safe houses for victims.
