FEDERATION

The Texas A&M Mothers' Clubs are proud organizations – proud of Texas A&M, proud of the daughters and sons they send to A&M and proud of making a contribution to the education of their students and to the future of A&M and the state of Texas.

The individual clubs share ideas and funds through the Federation of Texas A&M University Mothers’ Clubs.

The objective of the Mothers' Clubs remains the same today. From the largest membership of over 500 to the smallest, all clubs have the same goal – that of banding together for the benefit of the A&M student body. The mothers also experience a companionship they cannot experience elsewhere. A club meeting is a place to share joys and sadness, success and setbacks. The mother of a student who has failed a course is sure to have her worries eased when another mother tells her, "Yes, that happened to my student as well, but in a few months he will graduate."

The mothers are continually looking for ways to serve Texas A&M University. The list of their accomplishments is long, varied, and impressive. The Aggie Band, the Corps of Cadets, the Endowment Fund for the Sterling C. Evans Library, Fish and Transfer Camps, Peer Orientation Conferences, and 650 plus campus organizations have benefited from their support. During the 2008-2009 year, the individual Mothers' Clubs sent $485,054 to Texas A&M University, including $326,300 for scholarships. The mothers' clubs have a close working relationship with the President of Texas A&M as well as other administrators.

The Federation of A&M Mothers' Clubs has three meetings on campus each year; a meeting the Saturday before the Fall semester begins (August 27-28, 2010), one the Saturday before the start of Spring classes (January 21-22, 2011), and the final meeting of the year on Parents' Weekend. (Parents' Weekend is scheduled for April 15-17, 2011). During this meeting, the election and installation of Federation officers is held. It is also the time and site of the World's largest Aggie Moms' Boutique (more than 300 tables of craft items). This is a major fund raising event for the clubs. In 2007, proceeds from boutique were over $350,000. In addition to the regular meetings on campus, the Federation will hold the 17th annual Aggie Moms' Camp on November 12-14, 2010. This is a great weekend filled with fun, games, and spirit.
