It's not to late sign up.
We have commitments from US Congressman Ed Towns, (D-NY) the Honorable Jesse L. Jackson Jr. (D-IL) declined our invitation, and Interim AD Mr. Wheeler Brown has agreed to make a public appearance.
We sent invitations to each head coach and only Coach Jones and Stith were gracious enough to reply, though declining to attend. The other coaches must have either been incensed to receive the invitation package by email or have a block on my email address. Though we are unable to comp their round of golf in our inaugural year, it appears to me that the goal of supporting Aggie athletics was noble enough to warrant a reply of some type. Unfortunately they don’t or their Blackberry is in the shop.
It you happen to be in the DC area that weekend (6/20-22), the Aggie Club meeting is Friday, the Annual DC Alumni Cookout is Sat. and, and it’s my understanding Aggies are worshiping together at one of the local churches, and of course the Inaugural Blue & Gold Golf Tourney is on Monday.
It’s not to late for donations or sponsorships either.

What type of sponsorship opportunities are available? What are the proceeds going towards? Aggie Platinum Sponsor • Event Sponsor Aggie Gold Sponsor • Corporate Tee sign displayed at hole of choice Aggie Silver Sponsor • Corporate sign/banner displayed at premium location Aggie Cookout Sponsor • Lunch Sponsor Aggie Awards / Gifts / Prize Sponsors: These opportunities include: • Driving Range Sponsor • Putting Green Sponsor • Beverage Sponsor • Gift Bag Sponsor • Contest Sponsor Individual Sponsors• Share-a-Hole • Donations This is an Aggie Club sanctioned tour event (fundraiser), and as such the proceeds are disbursed through the annual check presented to the Athletic Department. This is one of the reasons why the Aggie Club check is of differing amounts year to year. It is dependent on membership and fundraising success the previous year. Some funds will be held back by the local chapter as operating capital for next year’s fundraising initiatives. |

I’ve been remiss in reporting the results of the Inaugural DC Aggie Club Golf Tournament. The DC Aggie Club takes the summer off, so there are no meetings in July and August. During the September meeting (going from memory) the president reported the tourney had 43 golfers and netted $4200. Though this was below my personal expectations, but decent for a first time event produced by bunch of novice in about three months time. This fundraising event contributed to $14k the DC Aggie sent to Greensboro to closeout FY2007/2008 . Congratulations to all DC Aggie Member on a successful year.
So if anybody has ideas or technical expertise (volunteer of course) that would increase the net. The plan is to go online next year with the payment, registration, the hold kit and caboodle. So if anybody can provide expertise to the effort your reward is in heaven. We have about five months before we need to roll debugged site.
I like to give a big shout-out and THANK-YOU to Blue Death Valley’s very own DiehardAggie70, who saw this post, set down wrote a check, put it in an envelope, got in his car, drove to the post office, got in line to buy a stamp, said thank-you to the postal clerk, and went on with his day. DiehardAggie70, Aggies everywhere owe you your choice of a nice ice cold refreshing beverage, and I’m first in line. Thanks Again and next year tell your friends, thanks again.

Well, thanks to the GSO Aggie Club for their support. Since I never actually saw the check and only communicated via email with you I "assumed" it was from you.
BTW, is there any IT/webmasters out there that would volunteer their expertise and labor in the design of the D.C. Aggie Club Golf Tournament website. We have to take this event online to maximize data collection, payments, and distribution of info. If so, hit via PM.
