PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Howdy!
I hope you were able to travel to A&M and participate in the fun at Parents' Weekend. I saw several of you at Boutique and the Cadets' concert, and you seemed to be having a great time. I hope your entire weekend was a success, because mine sure was. I enjoyed hanging out at Boutique and helping Shelley with that project. Boutique is quite a unique place to be, and lots of fun for shopping, too. Over those two days I:
visited with my Aggie Mom Camp Counselor from last fall, met two of our Aggie Moms' "Best friends since childhood" who were at Boutique because they are also now Aggie Moms, shopped for gifts, met Benjamin Knox, shopped for myself, got great fundraising ideas, "bonded" with my roommates, enjoyed the wildflowers on the drive to and from, ate some GREAT food at Olive Garden, The Boat and Fratelli's, and enjoyed the Singing Cadets Spring Concert, where I got to see the Bufos and Old Men do some new skits. If you don't know what a Bufo or an Old Man is, ask someone who hosted a Cadet in January! I hope you had a fun weekend as well.
Boutique was a success, and most of the Snazzy Stools were sold. Shelley will have details on the amount of money raised at our meeting, but I believe the total will be a little more than $1500!! Thanks to all of you who painted stools, worked in the booth, or just came by to say hello. We appreciate your support.
I look forward to seeing you all at the April meeting, on Thursday April 20, where our local Aggie, Bill Johnson, will share with us some of his own personal Aggie Muster experiences, including Musters in Viet Nam. Aggie Muster is a great Aggie Tradition, and for those of us who did not attend A&M ourselves, this should be a great opportunity to better understand this particularly moving and unique Aggie Tradition. I hope to see you there.
Gig 'em,
Nevie Lacy
