Purpose

Denton County Aggie Moms' Club exists to contribute in every way to the morale and welfare of our students, to encourage them, and to give back to A&M while having fun. We, Denton County Aggie Moms, exist solely to exemplify this purpose.

Officially, the Texas A & M Mothers Clubs is an organization with chapters all over the country, formed by and for mothers of A & M students, who strive to support the University's many organizations and needs, financially and otherwise.

Family Support: Monthly Meetings & work nights. We get information about A & M and its rich traditions, and we share the all about our Ags. We meet new friends at work nights, which support our fund-raisers.

Information: We call or e-mail one another for support. to supplement our monthly newsletter. We send a family a get well or card of encouragement signed by members at monthly meetings.

Howdy/Potlucks: We welcome new Aggie families in July with a potluck; and have another potluck in May where we invite husbands to our installation of officers.

Aggie Brags & Concerns: We share the ups and downs and support one another both ways - listen or give advice. Whatever helps you!

Aggie Student Support: Our Student Hospitality coordinators remember our Aggies by sending them a birthday card with a $2 bill in it.

Finals: We coordinate the sending of Double Dave's Pizza coupons to our Ags just before finals in December ; and Goody Bags before Spring finals. Bags include everything from pencils, test sheets, and food to aspirin and other goodies. Moms send money for their own Aggies - usually around $10 or less for each these endeavors.

Money Game: At our monthly meetings, moms donate $1 along with her Ag's name and mailing address for a drawing. (Labels are helpful for you.) For every $5 collected, a name is drawn and that Aggie gets a bonus that month!

Scholarships: Denton County Aggie Moms Club raises money to give scholarships to Aggies whose mothers are members. Since 1989, we have given a total of sixty-eight $500 and forty-six $1000 scholarships to Denton County Aggies.

Boutique: Moms work together to make & sell handmade Aggie merchandise primarily at Christmas and on Parents' weekend, where moms man the booth. We also sell Aggie memorabilia at monthly meetings.

Pecan Sales (Fall) & Dessert/Fashion Show (Spring): Direct fundraising by Moms - all voluntary participation. Items pre-ordered and pre-paid and each mom delivers to her own customers.
