News – Williamson County A&M Club

Howdy Ags,

As you may be aware our Club leadership continues to keep an eye on local authorities guidelines and choose to once again pause our A&M Club events when the numbers started to spike again.

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 publicly as it has the zoom password included in the link. An alternative link is being shared publicly on social media, but you will need the password 121212 in order to join.

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 Businesses. 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
