The Round Lake Area Exchange Club and sponsor Nicasa, are proud to announce the November Hometown Hero, U.S. Specialist Michael Garza of Hainesville. His parents, Terie and Sam Garza, of Hainesville, registered him for this honor. Garza is a graduate of the College of Lake County (2015) and Grayslake Central High School (2011).
