Howdy!

We have received great feedback about our Aggie Moms Connecting events. These social gatherings allow members to connect with others in smaller settings. We have had a wide variety of activities to choose from and already have more scheduled this semester!

At our February 20^th General Meeting, we will incorporate a craft activity. This activity was so popular at a smaller event that we decided to offer it to our entire membership. We will be making screen printed tote bags that require no prior crafting experience. Design choices will be posted soon. We will be asking members to register in advance when possible so we will have enough supplies for everyone interested in participating.

Thanks and Gig 'em!

Becky Bird ‘89
Collin County Aggie Moms President 2022-2023
Mom of Kristin ’18, Braden ’19, and Maddie ‘25 

We are making a screen printed tote bag after the meeting for $5 each.

In the past, Collin County Aggie Mom Members have graciously assisted Dallas County Aggie Moms' Club in housing the Singing Cadets and they would love to have our help again this year!  We need to house 55-60 cadets!

Host homes are responsible for providing the following:

• Overnight accommodations for at least 2 cadets
• Transportation from the venue to the host home after the concert
• A snack or light meal Saturday evening after the concert

The Cadets are performing in Coppell on Sunday so the drop off time and location should be convenient.  We will have more information on that soon.  A link to sign-up is below.

What is your board position and a brief description of what you do for CCAM?  I am the Goodie bag co-chair with my sister, Dina Strittmatter. 

Where do you live? I live in McKinney 

Where did you attend college? Texas A&M Class of 95, with a BBA in Business Analysis 

Tell us about your kids: 

My son Mark is 21 and graduated from Howard Payne University last May.  He got married in June of 2022.  He and his wife Sidney live in Brownwood,  TX. He is a Youth Pastor and also an Admissions Counselor for Howard Payne.  His wife is a high school English teacher.

My daughter Allie is 19 and a sophomore accounting major in the PPA program at Texas A&M (Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2025)  . She leads a Bible study,  enjoys hanging out with her friends, and LOVES Aggie football! She is living her best life as an Aggie and loving it!

What are your hobbies?  I enjoy quilting, crafting, playing games,  and hanging out with my family. 

What is a good book you've read recently? I enjoy Christian fiction books.  I really enjoyed The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club by Wanda E. Brunstetter.  I also like books by Melody Carlson a lot.

What is your most favorite vacation you've ever taken or favorite place you've traveled to? The summer after my daughter graduated high school, we stayed at a friend's lake house.  It was an awesome week of relaxing,  jet skiing, playing games, and hanging out together! 

What is something most people don't know about you? I can remember my dreams often and I have had some doozies.  One of my favorites is I was Reba McEntire and we had to rewrite the Itsy Bitsy Spider song for Scott Bakula, because it made him so sad.

What is your favorite thing about Texas A&M?  I love the feeling of belonging,  every time I meet an Aggie, I feel an instant connection and enjoy getting to know them.

What is some advice you would give a new student at A&M?  Get involved and find your people.  Church is a great place to start! The classes are important,  but learning to adult and enjoy life are super important too.

What is some advice you would give a MOM of a new student at A&M?  It's so hard to let them grow up and leave,  but once you hear how much they are enjoying life, it's easier.   Be there to listen, encourage,  and sometimes offer advice,  but remember they are adults now so they really need to learn to make their own decisions. 

Alternating Maroon and Diamond Center stones shine brightly! This version has a bold stylized “MOM” inside the finger rail, beneath the gemstones, and the officially licensed Texas A&M logo features on both sides. Our hand-matched, maroon-colored Natural European Machine Cut Topaz stones are a perfect complement to any Aggie attire. The diamonds we use are ideal precision cut stones, F-G/VS quality.

Winner will be drawn February 24, 2023
