A Letter from the President
HOWDY! Fall has arrived at last, and our Aggies couldn’t be happier
at this time. The University had a holiday on Thursday, October 4, 2001
to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of Texas A & M University. The
Aggie football team is 5-0 with a recent big win over Notre Dame and
Baylor at Kyle Field. I hope that many of you will be able to attend
a home football game at Kyle Field sometime while your student is enrolled
at Texas A & M. The Aggie Spirit has to be experienced, because
words can not adequately describe it.
The loan money has been invested in CD’s; our club membership
will make the decision as to how the loan fund will be best be utilized.
The treasurer is looking into Permanent Endowments with the university.
If you have not joined our Aggie Mom’s club yet, I want to encourage
you to do so soon. Your student will even thank you for doing so, as
this year he/she will receive two food gift certificates worth $5.00
each, two goodie bags, and the opportunity to apply for one of our scholarships.
Plus you as a mom have the opportunity to come hear encouragement from
more seasoned Aggie Moms, meet new friends, and listen to interesting
speakers. I hope that you think that it is as good deal as I do. Please
call me or any of the officers for more information or questions about
our club. We would love to get you more involved, and yes, there is
a place for the “Empty Nesters” group of Aggie Moms. Watch
your future newsletters for more information on this fun group. See
you soon!
Gig ‘em, Valerie Sheppard ’76, President

the MSC sells tickets at face value. APO office phone #: 862-2525.
COOKBOOK
By the time you get this Newsletter, we hope, for certain, that the
Cookbook will be with the printing company. Due to circumstances out
of our control, we were not able to get the cookbook mailed in time
to assure Christmas sales. We were disappointed, the cookbook was completed,
typed and proofed, however, the cover was not ready. The artist was
unable to get the print finished, and since it was a donated print,
a decision was made to hold off and wait on the artwork. We can offer
gift certificates for cookbooks if you were planning on this for Christmas,
graduation or wedding gifts. The cost of the book will run $20.00 and
you can call Carmen or Kathy if you want a certificate. (Payment due
and please don’t wait until the last minute.) There is a slight
chance they could arrive on time, but it is doubtful. A special thank
you goes to proof-reader, and typists. They did a rushed and terrific
job and deserve a medal!!!

A PRAYER FOR THE TIMES
Lord, we pray for our country, our President, and our other leaders
and rescuers during this uncertain time. We grieve with those who’ve
lost loved ones and friends. Comfort them and comfort us and our sons
and daughters who are so far away. If we cannot understand why this
tragedy has occurred, how can we, as parents, explain this to our children
who look to us for answers. Give all of us continued faith and the patience
of Job. Help us remember that YOU are always with us, most especially
during times of crises. For we all come to YOU as children praying for
a world void of terrorists. May YOUR righteousness prevail so that the
effect of it may be peace throughout the world and the result of it
will be calm and trust among all humanities forever.
Amen ( written by Susan Clark for our club)
GRADUATE NOTICE
Please be sure to let us know if you have a graduating student in Dec.
2001 or May or August 2002. We have no way of knowing when your student
graduates so that they may receive a graduation gift from the club unless
you call us. Contact Kathy Dickson or Carmen Behrens as soon as possible
prior to graduation.
THANKS.
