Please join the Dallas A&M Club to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, Dallas Style! For the third year in a row, the DAMC will be participating in the Greenville Ave. St. Patrick’s Day Parade festivities! This is one of the most fun days in the City of Dallas, and it’s even more fun to celebrate with your fellow Aggies. And there are two ways for you to participate:
1) If you would like to ride the float, please contact Holly Pritchard ’95 to sign up at hpritch95@yahoo.com. We will be entering an Aggie Fire Truck into the parade and throwing maroon beads to the crowd.
2) If you would prefer to watch the parade, please come to the CVS parking lot at the southwest corner of Lovers Ln & Greenville Ave. The DAMC will have two large maroon tents that should be easy to spot in a sea of green. The parade starts at 11:00am; but the streets will be blocked off at approximately 9:30am - so please plan to get there early! Beverages will be provided by Miller Lite as long as they last, but feel free to bring something to share.
No matter which above option you choose, the day will definitely be lots of fun! Please wear something maroon to go along with your St. Patrick’s Day green to show our presence and support for our community!
For 31 years, Greenville Avenue has been THE place to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Billed by many as “Dallas’ version of Mardi Gras”, the Greenville Avenue St. Patrick’s Day Parade brings thousands & thousands together along the two mile route to celebrate Erin Go Braugh through outrageous floats, colorful costumes and plenty of surprises. |

The DAMC Business Roundtable offers an opportunity for Aggie former students to network and share leads on potential prospects/clients. The Roundtable began in the Fall of 1993; and through the guidance of its early directors, has blossomed into untold amounts of revenue for companies led by Aggies.
The cost is $5.00 per person per meeting and net proceeds help fund Dallas A&M Club scholarships for students from the area who want to attend Texas A&M University.
This group serves two primary missions:
1. Facilitate business networking among Aggies;
2. Help those Ags in transition find new jobs.
At every meeting Aggies can display their business cards, brochures, and other literature on a table at the front of the meeting area designated for that purpose. Each participant receives the opportunity to tell the group who they are, what they do, and what an ideal client for them might be. After self introductions, the group gets to hear from a special guest speakers who have been previously scheduled to address the group at length (10-20 minutes).
Upon the conclusion of the formal meeting, Aggies are encouraged to mingle and network on an informal basis. The Roundtable also compiles a directory of the participants. This directory includes name, title, company, address, various phone numbers, and a brief description of the Aggie’s business. There is a nominal charge for the directory to cover copy costs.
Come join us and bring plenty of business cards!

**AGGIE ROUNDTABLE IS NOW BEING CONDUCTED ON A MONTHLY BASIS - ON THE THIRD WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH; PLEASE ALSO NOTE CHANGE OF LOCATION ABOVE**
Guest speaker/program TBA.
www.aggieroundtable.com
The DAMC Business Roundtable offers an opportunity for Aggie former students to network and share leads on potential prospects/clients. The Roundtable began in the Fall of 1993; and through the guidance of its early directors, has blossomed into untold amounts of revenue for companies led by Aggies.
The cost is $5.00 per person per meeting and net proceeds help fund Dallas A&M Club scholarships for students from the area who want to attend Texas A&M University.
This group serves two primary missions:
1. Facilitate business networking among Aggies;
2. Help those Ags in transition find new jobs.
At every meeting Aggies can display their business cards, brochures, and other literature on a table at the front of the meeting area designated for that purpose. Each participant receives the opportunity to tell the group who they are, what they do, and what an ideal client for them might be. After self introductions, the group gets to hear from a special guest speakers who have been previously scheduled to address the group at length (10-20 minutes).
Upon the conclusion of the formal meeting, Aggies are encouraged to mingle and network on an informal basis. The Roundtable also compiles a directory of the participants. This directory includes name, title, company, address, various phone numbers, and a brief description of the Aggie’s business. There is a nominal charge for the directory to cover copy costs.
Come join us and bring plenty of business cards!
