NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER

Howdy!

Happy Thanksgiving Aggie Moms! 

It's hard to imagine, but the holiday season is just about here and our Aggies will be done with finals and home soon! We have a lot of fun things on the calendar for y'all before the kids get home. Our November meeting has a "Friendsgiving, Networking, Holiday Shopping" theme. We hope to see you there!

PLEASE NOTE: Instead of a December general meeting, we have our annual Holiday Luncheon which is on December 6th. More information on ticket purchases below. After November, our next general meeting will be on Thursday, January 15, 2026 

Thanks and Gig 'Em,
Cyndi Ruiz-Mansfield

Friendsgiving, Networking, Holiday Shopping and Fun!

Thursday, November 20th

Bethel Church of Houston, 825 Bering Dr., 77057

6:30 PM

We are excited about our November General Meeting! We'll start the night with dinner. Our hospitality VPs do ask for your help in hosting our Friendsgiving dinner. Share your favorite dish or a new recipe you want to try before the holidays - we're great taste testers! Sign up to bring something here: November General Meeting Friendsgiving Food Signup

 

Instead of featuring a speaker, let's network! Did you know our members and their families sell Aggie cookies, own spas, hair salons, are realtors, doctors, accountants, designers, and more? Let's share what we all have to offer! Bring your business cards/flyers, etc. to promote your services/goods or whatever you want to share.

 

Then, let's have a fun gift exchange! Please bring a wrapped fun or funny gift with a $5-$10 value. Re-gift an unwanted item, something for whom you never found "just the right recipient" or a silly gag gift.

 

You can also dress for our "Ugly Sweater/Tacky Top" contest, so please join us for all the fun and laughter!

 

Whether you plan to bring food or not, please RSVP to the "Houston Aggie Moms" Evite we sent to you on November 6th. If you didn't receive an Evite, please click the following to RSVP:
