Howdy Ags,

It was a tough week for both Aggie teams on the hardwood. The men will drop out of the top 10 and the ladies will probably miss out the chance to host part of the NCAA tournament.  But, Von Miller winning Super Bowl MVP was a nice “win” for the Aggies last night.  Baseball and softball are about to get started and the track teams are gearing up as well. Still plenty of athletics back on campus to keep us entertained through the spring. It appears we have some interest for some watch parties as the basketball tournament gets underway so keep your eye on your email for updates and check the website calendar.

COMMITTEE CHAIR OPENINGS

While we are very excited to have new members involved with the club we still have several positions available if you would like to get involved.

I want to thank Joe Neal Kerr ’98 for stepping up as our new Networking Lunch Coordinator. Many of you who attend the luncheons already Joe Neal, please thank him next time you see him. Joe Neal will be selecting luncheon locations and following up with a recap of all those who attended that day. Please continue to pass along your suggestions for new/favorite locations to GigEm@wcamc.com and we will get them to him.

Current Committee Chair Openings include:
+ Howdy Hour Coordinator
+ Big Event Coordinator
+ Advertising Coordinator

MUSTER COMMITTEE MEETING

As we are already into February, April will certainly be here before you know it. While we have a fair amount of the planning done for this years Muster there is still plenty to do and opportunities to get involved. This year’s Muster Chairperson, Abby Williford ’06 will have a Muster Committee meeting on Thursday 11 Feb at Double Dave’s in Round Rock. This is the same location as our monthly Family Night so come out and join us for a bite to eat and stay for the meeting scheduled to begin at 7PM. Sub-committee chairs are still needed for check-in, decorations, food and a possible co-chair working towards next years event,

SEC HAPPY HOUR

Please come out (with your four legged friend) and join us for the SEC Happy Hour set for Tuesday 16 February at the Yard Bar. Be sure to wear your school colors and enjoy the evening, first five dogs get in free.

WEEKLY EVENTS

We work hard to offer a variety of events in hopes that your schedule will allow you to join as often as possible. We realize everyone is busy but it is always good to take a little time for friends and expand your network. We will continue our ‘THURSDAY’ event schedule, but keep your eyes open for a few twist as we move through the year.

This week we will have our Family Night at Double Dave’s. There is a new twist as we will meet at our traditional location in Round Rock (as well as the Muster meeting) and have a simultaneous satellite event at Double Dave’s – Cedar Park (in the Railyard). On Thursday 18 Feb we will have our networking luncheon at BJ’s Brewhouse – Round Rock, located in front of the outlet mall on IH-35. We are still finalizing our Howdy Hour event but look to try one of the many new micro-brew pubs in the area.

Gig’Em,
