Connecting
Through being an Aggie Mom we are connected
to other Aggie Moms, TAMU, our Aggie students
and the community of Aggies in Austin.
We have fun and fellowship at our monthly
meetings, parties, and an annual luncheon
honoring our past presidents. We learn
about TAMU through guest speakers from
TAMU. We get to meet Revielle at Howdy
Night. As a member organization of the
Federation of Texas A&M University
Mothers' Clubs we are connected to Aggie
Moms nationwide.
Abbott Family Leadership Conference.
Ladies, the AFLC is looking for a few good homes
and drivers! Please consider being a host family
for two or more delegates from the evening
of February 18 through the morning of the 20th.
You will have limited responsibilities for
entertaining them but they do need a place
to sleep and transportation to their meetings.
If you can help, please contact Karen Allen.
THE WORLD FAMOUS TEXAS
A & M SINGING CADETS will be returning to Austin on January 15th.
We are fortunate to be the only Aggie Moms’ Club
to host this prestigious group each year. In
order to continue to have this enormous fund
raiser for our scholarship fund, we need everyone’s
help. Each member will receive 6 tickets to the
concert. We are asking that you sell the tickets
to friends, family or any lover of music! You
may sell more six if you wish. In fact, we encourage
you to. I usually purchase the six as stocking
stuffers for the Aggies on my Christmas list.
They love it. My workplace is always a great
place to sell extra tickets. It is amazing who
loves good music and especially such showmen
as the Singing Cadets. Just ask! If you would
like to help with the many duties on the committee,
please contact Sue Frederick at suefrederick@sbcglobal.net.
She would be happy to hear from you. All members
are requested to help the night of the concert
with ticket taking, greeting, cookie sales and
assisting guests to their seats. It is a great
evening of entertainment and fun. Mark your calendars.
Mentoring Mom for New Aggie Moms
Linda Danz and Debbie Holzheauser are this year's
mentoring moms. They would love to hear from any
new Austin Aggie Moms or anyone wanting to know
more about the organization. If you have questions
or are interested in getting together before the
general meeting contact our Mentoring Aggie Moms
coordinator,
