News – Williamson County A&M Club

Howdy Ags,

Is that the light at the end of the COVID tunnel or a train coming at us? Only time will tell how the re-opening of Texas will impact our lives. Club leadership continues to keep an eye on local authorities guidlines and will adjust our A&M Club events accordingly.

As we wait to see how things improve and can once again gather together, please join us this Friday from 6-7pm for our Virtual Happy Hour via Zoom. Yea, we know it’s not the same, but it’s still Aggies “gathering” so if you haven’t yet join us and give it a try. Use the following link: https://tx.ag/WilCoVHH Please do NOT share this link publically as it has the zoom password included in the link. An alternative link is being shared publically on Facebook, but will need the password 121212 in order to join.

We are very greatful to the 24 donations that we have received, dispite Fish Fry being cancled this year. You 24 Aggies have given $11,055, with individual doations ranging from as little as $5 to as much as $3000! Thank you, it’s this type of commitment that will enable us to award scholarships each and every year. If you would like to make a gift you may do so by going to our Fish Fry page at wcamc.com/fishfry (mail in option is details on the website also).

If you are a WilCo Aggie Owned and/or Operated business in the WilCo area, you should join a new Facebook Group that we setup. It’s a place that Owners can promote their businesses and Ags can go to find Aggie Busiensses. Let’s help exchange some maroon money here in Williamson County! Fb.com/groups/WilCoAggieOwned

Howdy Ags,

Thank you for your patience as we transition the Club Leadership and all its duties this year (this newsletter being one of them). I’m happy to announce that Carlos May ’06 is our new A&M Club President! He’s married to his lovely wife Krystal and they have two spunky daughters.

I’d also be remise if I didn’t take a moment to thank David Schell ’97 for serving as our President the past two years. David now transitions into the role of the role of Immediate Past President on our A&M Club Board and continues to volunteer his time very graciously with the A&M Club and our Foundation.

Thanks to everyone that came out for our inaugural 42 Domino Night at Texadelphia! See a couple pictures below. We had two tables of experienced players and one of newbies just learning the great game of 42. We will be looking to schedule another night in the next couple months, so stay tuned for updates. Thank you to Leslie Houston and Terry Pogue for coming out to provide coaching as needed. They both play regularly with the Austin 42 Club and have a huge heart for keeping the tradition of 42 alive! You may find more information about when and where they play on their Fb Group: fb.com/groups/austin42

Howdy Ags,

There will be no Howdy Hour this week. Instead, Howdy Hour will be next week in conjunction with our Annual Meeting. The Howdy Hour and Annual Meeting will be January 30 at Mel’s Lonestar Lanes in Georgetown. We will start with a Howdy Hour in CJ’s Sports Bar at 5:30pm and then move to the private room around 6:30pm to start the Annual Meeting around 7pm.

The Annual Meeting provides a time to update the membership on the activities of the club and to elect the Officers and Board Members for the new year. We hope you will join us to provide your input on the direction of the club in 2020 and beyond.

Thanks and Gig ’em
