An Open Letter to the Board of Directors and Staff of Texas Lions Camp

I was blessed beyond expectation or belief this past weekend with an unimaginable honor as Chairman Kent Basinger announced the Board’s decision to rename the Equestrian Center in recognition of the Mabry family. Words are inadequate to express what it means to have my wife and kids included as they have been my compass and inspiration at every turn, challenge and hurdle. TLC has truly been a family focus for the Mabrys, just as it is for so many of you.

I am keenly aware that we have all arrived at this time and place together and whatever success may be implied, it was not achieved alone or in a vaccuum. For TLC to move forward and thrive, it has taken everyone giving their all, applying their talents and taking care to advance their areas of responsibility. I am incredibly fortunate to have had the benefit of knowing some of the most amazing people on the planet, who have not withheld their considerable talents but have given without reserve to safeguard and steward our beloved organization to continually arrive at the Next Level. For that, I will forever by humbled and grateful for the privilege to be a part of Texas Lions Camp.

My special thanks to Chairman Kent Basinger, the Executive Committee, past presidents, James Wheeler, John Eads, James Browning and the Board of Directors. Members of my leadership team, Dr. Stephen Ponder, Karen-Anne King, RN, Ken Folsom, Glenn Wilson and my executive assistant, Megan Jaeger; and of course, all of those who say with pride, “I work or volunteer at Texas Lions Camp.”
