PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
I am honored and excited to serve as President of the Brazos County A&M Mothers’ Club for 2017-2018. Whether you have an incoming student, current student, or a former student, I would like to welcome you and invite you to join our Club. Once an Aggie Mom, always an Aggie Mom!
This past year, through our dues, donations, and fundraising activities, we were able to provide scholarships to students, as well as financially support several recognized student organizations.
If you have not already done so, please return the membership form and a check for your annual dues as soon as possible to Diane Becktold, our Vice President for Membership. This will ensure that you will be included in the directory and will remain on our email list.
The annual Howdy Tea is our 2017-2018 kick-off event. The Tea will be held on Tuesday, September 26th, from 4 pm - 6 pm. This year's event will be held in the Press Box at Kyle Field! The event, as well as membership in our Club, is open to all Brazos, Grimes, Leon, Madison, and Robertson County Aggie Moms. Come learn more about Texas A&M and our Club, meet student leaders and University administrators, and maybe even meet the First Lady of Aggieland, Miss Reveille.
Plans for other activities throughout the year are being finalized, and will be announced at Howdy Tea, via email, on our website (https://brazoscomoms.aggienetwork.com), and on Brazos County Aggie Moms, a closed Facebook group for our members. If you have paid your dues and not yet requested to join the Facebook group, please submit your request!
I look forward to serving you and getting to know you at our events this year! Thanks, and Gig ‘Em! Cindy DeWitt ‘86 [email protected] 979-777-3832 (call / text)

AGGIE CENTURY TREE PROJECT www.aggiecenturytreeproject.com
The Aggie Century Tree Project began in 2010 as a fundraiser for a $100,000 President's Endowed Scholarship for Texas A&M University. The Century Tree President's Endowed Scholarship was funded in October 2012, and the first scholarship was awarded in August 2014. Each year, a deserving Texas A&M student receives a $4,000 to $5,000 scholarship which represents the investment earnings of this permanent endowment. The project also because a way for Aggies across the southern United States to grow a little piece of Aggieland in their own front yard, to be enjoyed by Former Students and their families for generations to come. Century Tree seedlings are grown from acorns harvested from the Century Tree in the Academic Plaza, located in the heart of the A&M campus. These live oak seedlings are available for purchase year-round and range in height from 6-18 inches tall, depending on the time of the year. Proceeds from this year's Aggie Century Tree Project will fund a $25,000 Endowed Sul Ross Scholarship for the Corps of Cadets at the Texas A&M Foundation. If you are interested in purchasing a tree for yourself or for your loved ones, contact Andy Duffie @ www.aggiecenturytreeproject.com. Include Brazos County Aggie Moms Club to help our organization receive a portion ($20) of the sale of each tree. Additionally, he will be speaking to the Brazos County A&M Mothers' Club on Thursday, February 8 from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm at J Cody's Restaurant.
Happy Birthday Aggies

Aggies in Need Update: If your Aggie has an emergency such as a health issue, death in the family, etc., local Brazos County Aggie Moms are here to help on a temporary basis. Many of us have had our Aggies experience something when we couldn’t get to them to help. Having another Aggie Mom who can help meet that need can be very comforting.
Please contact any of us if your Aggie is in need of some extra help! Marcy Ullmann [email protected] (979)777-4042

A Message from the Parliamentarian
In recent weeks, each club President should have received a letter via email from their club liaison concerning a Federation Bylaw Amendment. The proposed amendment will allow the Federation Board to vote on issues via electronic means whenever an emergency situation warrants it. Please advise your members that we will be voting on the following amendment at our Fall meeting in August:
Article IX – Delegates and Voting Power
Section 2: Voting Power
d. A vote of the elected Federation officers conducted via electronic mail shall be permissible between scheduled meetings of the Executive Board as deemed necessary by the President. The Parliamentarian shall distribute the ballots, receive and count the returned ballots, and announce the results to the Executive Board. The rules for constitution of a quorum of Executive Board members as outlined in Article X shall apply. In addition, the Federation has requested a copy of each club’s bylaws plus Standard Operating Procedure of scholarship determination. The Board hopes to create a master file and to make certain that all clubs are in compliance with the IRS 501(c)(3) regulations. Copies should be sent to Parliamentarian Peggy Spaeth ’74 by October 1, 2009 at 2519 Riata Lane, Houston, Texas 77043; or you may email them to her at [email protected]. If you have any questions, contact Peggy at (832) 216-7315.

AGGIE MOM CAMP 2017-18
February 2 - 4, 2018 Hilton Hotel, College Station
Our Aggies have Fish Camp, S.A.L.T. Camp or T-Camp to aid in their transition from home to college life and to introduce them to the traditions of Texas A&M University. Aggie Moms also have CAMP! Every year since 1994, the Federation of TAMU Mothers' Clubs has held Aggie Mom Camp in Aggieland. The goal of the event is similar to that of the camps for our Aggies. The Federation hopes to have experienced Aggie Moms help new Aggie Moms with the transition as their child leaves home to attend Texas A&M University and to introduce them to the wonderful traditions of A&M. Aggie Mom Camp is also a great weekend for the experienced Aggie Mom. In addition, we have loads of fun!! There are campus tours, group sessions, skits, shopping, and lots of bonding with both "old" and "new" Aggie Moms. Join us for Aggie Mom Camp to meet other Aggie Moms and have a wonderful weekend in Aggieland! For More Information, Contact your Aggie Mom Camp Co-Chairs Connie Fletcher Pritchard '81 and Linda Knapick..
