San Antonio Aggie Moms' Club

Howdy, Aggie Moms! I have a lot of information to share with you this month, so bear with me! Read on for all the details!

You are invited to attend the next general meeting of the San Antonio Aggie Moms’ Club on December 5th! We meet the first Tuesday of each month (except for January, June and July) in the banquet hall at San Antonio’s Aggie Park, 6205 West Avenue. Doors will open at 5:45 p.m. (a bit earlier than our usual 6:00) for signing in, mingling, and holiday shopping. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m. We hope you will attend!

At this meeting, we’ll recognize August and December graduates, honor former Aggie Moms’ presidents, have a fun gift exchange, and share some holiday cheer. The gift exchange is optional, but if you choose to participate, the spending limit for the gift is $15. If you are pressed for time, our boutique has many items in that price range and will be open before the meeting starting at 5:45 if you would like to purchase a gift then.

Please RSVP with the number attending the meeting by Saturday, December 2nd, to allow our hospitality team enough time to plan and prepare food for all attending. Your responses also help us know how many tables and chairs we will need to accommodate everyone. RSVP at this link: https://forms.gle/tDX3TkLXbzDr4EoJ7. Dinner is included for all paid members and is available for $5 a person for non-members. A vegetarian meal option is available; just select the appropriate response on the link. (You do not need to sign in to Google in order to complete the form. If you are unable to click on the link from your email, please copy and paste the link into a browser window.)

Graduating Senior Moms, if your student graduated in August or will graduate in December, we would like to recognize him or her at this meeting by presenting a PowerPoint slide of each graduate that has been submitted by the graduate’s parent (you!). The slide could include a photo, degree/major, accomplishments while at Texas A&M, future plans after graduation, and/or a fun fact. Please send your PowerPoint slide to me at samomspresident@aggiemoms.org by Saturday, December 2nd, so that I can compile all of them into a presentation. I’m happy to answer any questions about this or send you examples from previous years.

Finally, it’s almost time to make and deliver goody bags to help our Aggies BTHO finals! Our Aggies love to receive their goody bags before they head into final exams, BUT we do not have student contact information, so we depend on you to let your students know about the goody bags. Please tell your Aggies to pick up their bags either inside in MSC Room 2406 or outside by Rudder Fountain between 10:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Friday, December 1st. Galveston Moms, we’ll be in touch very soon about the exact time and location for your students, but goody bags will also be delivered to Galveston on December 1st. If you signed up to help stuff or hand out goody bags, watch your inbox for more information from Cindy and Melanie.
