Howdy!
It is something about that one little greeting that feels right. The warmth of a "Howdy!" feels normal, feels like home. On behalf of the 2021 Board of Directors, "Howdy!" and welcome to the 2021 Fort Worth - Tarrant County Muster. As we look to return to a sense of normalcy, we understand that times have in fact changed, but the Aggie Spirit continues to endure. The 2021 Muster will be held in person at River Ranch Stockyards with a meal provided and a traditional Muster program to include Roll Call of all the Aggies lost since our last in person Muster. We are continuing to work with our venue to ensure that the event is safe for all Aggies as we continue to live in these changing times.
Muster Speaker
The Fort Worth A&M Club Board of Directors is excited to welcome Mr. Dion McInnis ’03 as this year’s Muster Speaker. Dion was the first Head Stack of the off-campus Bonfire in 2003 and 2004. Today, he is dedicated to sharing the message of Bonfire – the “flame of love that every loyal Aggie carries in their heart for their school” – through his photography and continued leadership involvement on the Student Bonfire Board of Directors which exists to mentor motivated Aggies in leadership.
