We are excited to be hosting our first ever Leadership Lubbock Alumni Happy Hour!!   We have done our best to pull a complete list of everyone who has ever been through the LL Program however, we know it is not accurate.   People have changed jobs, gotten married, retired, moved, and so on…. so, we know we don’t have the most updated contact info for everyone.   We want everyone to see our new space, and several have never been in the newly renovated Chamber Co Lab so we will be hosting here with light refreshments and drinks.   If you know of someone who was in the class that does not receive the invite, PLEASE invite them and let them know they are welcome!   Hope to see you all there!

Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror her topsy-turvy life such as “The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie” and “Betrayed By My Eggs Pie.” When a baking contest in a nearby county — and a satisfying encounter with someone new — show Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize it. Change is on the menu, as long as Jenna can write her own perfectly personal recipe for happiness. Brought to life by a groundbreaking creative team, this hilarious hit Broadway musical features original music and lyrics by Grammy® Award winner Sara Bareilles ("Brave," "Love Song"), a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson (I Am Sam), original choreography by Lorin Latarro (Mrs. Doubtfire, Chess) and original direction by Tony Award® winner Diane Paulus (1776, Jagged Little Pill, Pippin). “WAITRESS is a little slice of heaven!” says Entertainment Weekly, and is “sweet, sassy and passionate,” according to New York Magazine. "It's an empowering musical of the highest order!" raves the Chicago Tribune. Don't miss this uplifting and hilarious musical celebrating friendship, motherhood, and the magic of a well-made pie.
