We realize everyone is busy but it is always good to take a little time for friends and expand your network. We will continue our ‘THURSDAY’ event schedule, but keep your eyes open for a few twist as we move through the year.

This week we will have our Reveille Breakfast @ Rudy’s located on IH-35, south frontage road in Round Rock at FM 3406. Leave for work a little early and swing by to discuss Aggie sports and grab a taco to start your day. There is always a wide range of topics and a good way for early morning networking. If you know of any locally owned Aggie establishments, please be sure to pass them along as we look to support local, particularly Aggie business’.
