HOWDY ARMY -
This latest Aggie Update newsletter contains information on the continued significance of Dallas A&M Club membership-related donations, as well as upcoming club activities - including this week's FRIDAY LUNCHEON, featuring Charean Williams '86 as guest speaker. Of special note is the next AGGIES FOR DALLAS volunteer opportunity with Carry the Load - during the Memorial Day weekend; scroll down for details.
Membership-related gifts are the foundation of our annual fundraising efforts and allow the Dallas A&M Club to award considerable scholarships each year to multiple deserving Dallas-area high school seniors that will be attending Texas A&M, to also occasionally contribute to important endeavors at Texas A&M, and to maintain club-related programs in Dallas County for former students of Texas A&M.
Dallas A&M Club membership applications may be submitted via the MEMBERSHIP page on the DAMC website. Lifetime and active, dues-paying members (or donors) for 2016 are now listed on the SPONSORS & DONORS page. Please note that annual memberships are valid January 1 through December 31. In addition, your lifetime or annual donation to the DAMC, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
Thanks to all those who donated to the Dallas A&M Club in 2015 and to anyone that has already donated this year by activating or renewing their membership for 2016; your support of the DAMC and our initiatives is greatly appreciated!
Founded in 1902, the Dallas A&M Club has awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships to Dallas-area students attending Texas A&M - with 25 current students benefiting from our scholarships. As the primary chartered A&M Club for Dallas County, the DAMC has also generously given back to The Association of Former Students by contributing to the following programs: Building Enhancement Campaign, Endowed Aggie Ring Scholarship (2), Endowed Diamond Century Club, Endowed Scholarship Fund, Annual Fund, and the Corregidor Muster Memorial Fund.
In addition to giving to The Association of Former Students, the Dallas A&M Club has funded President's Endowed Scholarship (3), Regents' Scholarship, Southerland Aggie Leadership Scholarship, Endowed Sul Ross Scholarship (2), and Endowed Senior Boots Scholarship (2) - while donating additionally on occasion to other significant endeavors of the Texas A&M Foundation and the 12th Man Foundation.
