UPDATE:  Thank you for your donations!  Here is a thank-you from the Executive Director of the 12th Can:
“This is Kelly Villarreal from The 12th Can reaching out with updates on the donation from this weekend. The total poundage of the Montgomery Aggie Mom’s Club donation was 184 lbs. Thank you so much for making the trip down to College Station to drop-off the donation and for coordinating the food drive! The 12th Can could not operate without generous donations like this one, so on behalf of Aggies, thank you so much for the donation and for supporting our mission to eliminate huger at Texas A&M, especially during times like these.”

Introducing our theme for this year: Aggie Moms – Stronger Together

It’s an Aggie Moms Club tradition that the each club President chooses a theme for the upcoming year. My immediate thought was “Stronger Together” because I know the strength of Aggie Moms & I know first hand what we can accomplish together. When I thought of an image to exemplify that theme, Rosie the Riveter from WWII was the first thing that came to mind. We’re living through extraordinary times and dealing with unprecedented issues – much like WWII. And in the same way, the women of WWII stepped up, took charge and made things happen.

We Aggie moms have that same steel grit & determination; that “get it done” attitude and that “better days are ahead!” attitude.  Whether we’re connecting to help our students, participating in order to be a part of something bigger than ourselves, or making new friends and enjoying this special time together, we are always Stronger Together.

Here’s to a GREAT year!
Terrie Martin ’86
President
