The Austin Aggie Moms offer their members the opportunity to order a morale booster before exams in the form of bag with snacks and a restaurant gift card for their student. We call these Goody Bags and your student’s bag will contain at least twenty snack items plus a $5 gift card for a restaurant within walking distance of campus. The snack items include popcorn, granola bars, peanut butter crackers, gum, breakfast bars, fruit, candy, microwave noodles, and a beverage such as an instant hot chocolate. The gift card for $5 has usually been for Freebird’s (a College Station business whose specialty is burritos), Starbucks or Subway.

We consistently offer a great value for making this gesture to your student. .In fact we make no profit on these bags and charge only the actual cost. By comparison, parents also receive a Residence Hall letter which is an order form for several versions of a goody bag. Those bags, which are shipped from New Jersey, contain just a few food items and all of their options cost more than our Aggie Moms’ Goody Bags. We are happy to offer this benefit to your students at a stressful time in their lives.

To order a Goody Bag, use the Membership form on this website. Please submit the form to the Vice-President of Membership along with a check to Austin Aggie Mothers Club. Note there is a separate line to order a Goody bag for the fall semester which will be delivered in December and a line for the spring Goody Bag which will be delivered in May. Each bag is $15. There are separate deadlines for each semester’s orders.

It is critical that you provide us with the correct cell phone number and email address for your student. When the bags are delivered we have a table at a campus student center and we give the students advance notice of when and where to come to pick up their Goody Bag. We email and text the students to give them that pick up information.

If you have any questions or if you need to send an update with revised phone or email for your student, please contact Goody Bag Chair Tamara Vannoy, tamara-vannoy@austin.rr.com.
