FRIDAY, 4/4 - SATURDAY, 4/5 - COLLEGE STATION

The huge annual Aggie Moms Boutique, coordinated by The Federation of Aggie Moms' Clubs in the Memorial Student Center (MSC), is coming up in April during Family Weekend! All Aggie Moms Clubs are invited to sell items to raise funds for their scholarships. 

This event is our second-largest annual fundraiser. We sell a much wider assortment of items at this event than we do at our meetings and online. 

Acclaimed artist, Benjamin Knox '90, will join us again on 4/5 to sign and personalize his prints purchased from our booth on 4/4 and 4/5. His autographed prints make very special graduation, ring dunk, and other occasion gifts!

Saturday, 4/5, is our organization's second tax-free day of the year (besides auction) so make your dollars go even further by purchasing items from our booth and many of the other booths which also have that day (and/or 4/4) designated as their tax-free day(s) of the year!

We would love to have you volunteer for a few hours while you're visiting your Aggies to help make this event another great success. We'll be sending out a Sign-Up Genius next month.

Questions? Contact our Boutique VPs, Sonja Nitsch and Melissa Martin: Boutique@HoustonAggieMoms.org

Thank you to those who have volunteered to serve on our Houston Aggie Moms' Club 2025-2026 Board! We are pulling together a great group of leaders for our club, but still have a few spots to fill. How might you apply your skills, personality, and experience to serve on our board?

Most of our VP positions can be filled by two people, so we would love for you to work with another Aggie Mom with the same interests. Find a friend to make it more fun or get to know a new partner! 

Plans are to announce our 2025-2026 Board Slate at the "A Tradition of Giving" Dinner & Auction on Saturday, February 8, 2025, so the Nominating Committee is quickly working to fill the last remaining slots. The Nominating Committee is also collecting names of interested moms for appointed board positions. 

Please respond with your interest and/or questions to: nominatingcommittee@houstonaggiemoms.org

Your HAM 2025-2026 Nominating Committee,

Sonja Nitsch (Chair), Laura Spilman '93, Iram Ahmed, Dawn Joy, Felicia Lewin, Kathy Roth Choate (alternate), Gretchen Young (alternate).
