Dear St. Louis Area Aggies,

According to the Association of Former Students, the St. Louis Gateway A&M Club is one of the original Texas A&M alumni clubs. It was charted on September 1st, 1945, with the purpose of providing all former Aggies and others who wanted to support Texas A&M a way of gathering. Today there are nearly 800 Aggie alumni in the St. Louis and surrounding areas which comprises one of the largest Aggie Networks outside of Texas. This presents a valuable and strong resource for all Aggies to utilize and participate in. However, without adequate participation and financial support, the Club cannot continue to operate as defined in its charter.

Therefore, I would like to invite you to join us as an active member of our local alumni organization. We, as former students, all carry the responsibility of maintaining and promoting the great spirit and traditions of our university. Our Gateway A&M Club is a vital link in the worldwide Aggie Network and your participation and financial support are critical to the success of it.

As stated on the Association’s web site, “Much of the work of The Association of Former Students is done through the worldwide network of A&M Clubs. A&M Clubs form the foundation for many Association programs. A&M Club objectives are essentially the same as the purposes of The Association: To strengthen and renew friendship formed in student days and support the interests of Texas A&M University.”

One of those objectives that is consistent across all A&M Clubs is to provide scholarship funds for deserving local students who are attending Texas A&M. For some time now, the Gateway A&M Club has had a goal to raise $40,000 for such a fund. To date, our group has only been able to fund 50% of this goal. Without your continued support, the Club will fall short of its goal as well as run the risk of not being able to organize and host other activities such as Muster.

The Club’s web site (http://aggienet.tamu.edu/stlouisamc/) provides a valuable source of information including:

• Club membership form, a copy of which is included with this letter.
• A listing of current Club officers and their email addresses
• Dates and locations of Club activities (i.e. Aggie and local sporting event gatherings, community service activities, monthly Happy Hour). Please let me or another officer know if you have any additional activity suggestions.
• Pictures from previous Club events
• Fundraising information.
• Links to A&M resources and St. Louis area attractions

In addition, an email list has been created to provide an easy and efficient method of communicating with other Gateway A&M Club Aggies. You can sign up to be a member of this email list by clicking on the St. Louis Aggie eGroup link available on the Links page of the Club’s web site. Please note that in order to keep the Club’s costs to a minimum, the web site and email list will be the primary forms of communication from the Club.

I want to close by thanking all of you who have supported the Club’s efforts throughout the years. I especially want to thank Melissa Kreidel for organizing this year’s Muster. There is a lot of time and effort that goes in to planning a Muster and Melissa has done a great job in planning it yet again. I would like to encourage you to attend this most sacred and time honored tradition. I would also like to thank those that have been serving as officers of the Club including Joe Hilton, Vice President of Finance, Bianca Maldonado, VP Publicity/Community Affairs, and Mark and Kristen Murray, VP of Activities/Programs. In addition to the positions of VP of Publicity/Community Affairs and VP Activities/Programs which will become open within the next several months, there are several other officer positions that are open including VP of Membership, VP of High School Relations, VP of Records, and VP of Fundraising. If you would be interested in holding an officer position, please let me or one of the other current officers know. The time required for such positions is minimal and we would greatly appreciate any support you could provide.

Again, in order for the Club to have a viable future, it requires your participation and support! I hope that you will join us in 2004.

Gateway A&M Club President
