It’s the Big Event in Aggieland!
March 31st, 2010 categories: Texas A&M University
Not everyone is a fan of spring cleaning. That is unless you’re an Aggie. While some are dreading the idea of a daylong cleaning session, Aggie Organizations across campus are gearing up for the “biggest” event of the year: The Big Event. The Big Event is the largest, one day, student run service project in the nation. All students, whether with an organization or a group of buddies, gather together to serve residents from the Bryan/ College Station community as a thank you. For many Aggies the Bryan/College Station area has become a second home and are more than willing to offer a hand (multiple hands) to helping out the locals. Projects usually just consist of doing chores around the house such as raking, mowing, picking up trash, but can get as intense (more...)| Discussion: Your Comments Please »

What’s in a name?
September 5th, 2008 categories: Kids, Family & Personal Stuff, Real Estate True Tales, Texas A&M University
I am a fan of history, especially the history of places. The history of an area is something that is important to Realtors. When I look at something as simple as a legal description for a property or as complex as a title commitment, I am reminded of the people that originally surveyed and owned the virgin wilderness and the hardships they endured to create a home, a livelihood, and a community out of the natural resources around them. Being able to trace the chain of title back to the original owners brings them back to life and gives them meaning and context. Where people settled, towns often sprung up. Sometimes these rural communities grew into mighty cities. Sometimes they faded away and disappeared. Thanks to online mapping programs like Google Earth and Microsoft Virtual Earth, those tiny unincorporated communities that still exist and the ones that don't are more accessible and visible than ever. There are many communities in the Bryan and College Station area that barely merit a dot on the map. Others aren't even mentioned at all. Thanks to modern technology, we can look at them and wonder...why did they give it that name? (more...)| Discussion: 1 Comment »
First Female to Lead the Aggie Band!
August 29th, 2008 categories: Community Events, Texas A&M University
If 2008 has a theme so far, it would be the Year of the Woman. Several women have achieved outstanding success in their fields and made history in doing so. Everyone is familiar with the story of Hillary Rodham Clinton, including her rise to success in her own right as a U.S. Senator for the State of New York after serving in the role of wife, mother, and First Lady of Arkansas and the U.S.A., and her near-miss in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Today we were all surprised at the selection by Sen. John McCain of Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, a pro-life reformer and mother of five, as his running mate for the White House on the Republican ticket. While Geraldine Ferraro was the first female to ever be a vice-presidential candidate, the selection of Gov. Palin potentially makes her the first female to serve as Vice-President of the United States. On Saturday, August 30, another female will do something that no female has ever done before. The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band will step off from the north end of Kyle Field for the first time ever with a female drum major! (more...)| Discussion: 2 Comments »
