Our speaker last week was our very own Bill Shipp , who is the city manager for the City of Royse City.  He gave an overview of what is happening in our little corner of the world, and briefed us on the projects that the City is undertaking.  He noted that the population of our fair city has increased from 2,959 in 2000, to 9,349 in 2010.  We have grown!  With growth comes challenges and we are working to meet them.  Thanks, Bill, for the great information!
