OCTOBER NEWSLETTER

Howdy!

Houston Aggie Mom (HAM) membership is not just for one or four years. Our dedication to making a difference in the lives of our students and supporting our members often leads to lifelong friendships. “Once an Aggie Mom, Always an Aggie Mom.” 

Even though I am not a Ring of Honor (ROH) mom yet, I had the pleasure of attending the ROH Coffee Connect and was amazed to see moms who became friends through HAM when their Aggies were freshmen, have experienced weddings and grandchildren together - and a few have grandchildren at A&M now! 

Your support and involvement can be incredibly meaningful - to your student, other students and our entire organization. You can volunteer, make lasting friendships, give back to the A&M community, and thrive personally. From social events to service & fundraising projects, HAM provides countless opportunities for you to be present and engaged. Together, we support Aggies and Aggie Moms in making the most of their time at Texas A&M and beyond.

Our next meeting will be on October 16th at 6:30 pm at Bethel Church (details below). Our guest speaker, Dr. Wynn Duncan, will address a topic for us moms specifically - women's midlife health.

Please make sure your membership dues are current and confirm your contact information by 10/31/25. We will send communications to MEMBERS ONLY after that!

Our Volunteer Spotlight

Meet your Social Co-chairs…

 
Laura Wilson (pictured center) joined Houston Aggie Moms as her youngest son and only Aggie began his time at Texas A&M in 2022. Having relocated to Houston from Tulsa, Oklahoma, right after her son’s high school graduation, Laura was excited for the opportunity to meet other local moms. She cherishes the friendships she has made and is excited to plan social opportunities to foster friendships and camaraderie amongst her fellow Aggie Moms. At your next event, make sure to find Laura and say Howdy!
