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 Howdy Hour on Thursday 25 Feb at Hardtails in Georgetown, located on IH-35, south frontage road. A recent addition to our club, Rich Fletcher, and his band Three Legged Willie will be performing so it will be a good opportunity to support a local business as well as an Aggie. If you know of any locally owned Aggie establishments, please be sure to pass them along as we look to support local, particularly Aggie business’.
