HOWDY ARMY -
The 2020 Dallas Aggie Muster has been postponed and will be rescheduled once concerns surrounding the coronavirus have been sufficiently abated and associated restrictions are lifted. Muster will always be one of our most cherished Aggie traditions - allowing us to commemorate our fallen Aggies. As such, we encourage you to take part in the MUSTER LIVE event being conducted by The Association of Former Students; this virtual gathering on April 21 will commence at 6:51am with the Worldwide Roll Call for the Absent. No matter when, how or where Aggie Muster and the Aggie Spirit are celebrated, Texas A&M and the Aggie family remain united.
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 using the MEMBERSHIP page on the DAMC website. 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.
