Muster Information Form
You can provide The Association with all of your Muster information by filling out one important form, the "Create Your Muster" form. This form is available on the Muster Chair Resources page. Please follow the on-screen instructions for filling out the form and it will walk you through the rest of the process. You will be able to update your Muster at any time, and your changes will be reflected immediately on the website for end-users looking to attend your Muster.
Publicity
Information regarding A&M Club or Muster groups will be publicized both on our website, AggieNetwork.com, and in Texas Aggie magazine. Due to space restrictions and changing information, only the Muster Chair contact information will be listed in the Texas Aggie. The deadline for your Muster information to be in the Texas Aggie is February 15.
Also, promoting Muster through local newspapers, radio, and TV is strongly encouraged. A sample news release is provided under the step "Send press release to local media outlets".
Invitations
This year, The Association will continue to print and mail invitations for all Muster groups. This will count as an A&M Club’s once-a-year mailer. Non-chartered A&M Clubs and Muster Groups will be billed for postage costs.
Musters taking place outside of Texas will need to send in their Invitation Form by January 15, so that their Invitations can be processed and sent out first because of the extended time they need in the mail. All Invitation Forms for Texas Musters are due by February 1. The online request form for Invitations is available in the Muster Planning Guide.
Also, in order to keep our Mailing List for your area as updated as possible, please encourage members of your Club or Muster Group to update their contact information on AggieNetwork.com. The Association needs your support as Muster Chair to encourage Former Students to keep in touch with the Aggie Network, so we can keep our records as accurate as possible.
Speaker List
The Association maintains the Online Speaker List, a list of former and current students who have volunteered their time to speak at a Muster ceremony. Please contact the speaker directly to make arrangements. More information on contacting speakers and a sample speaker confirmation letter is provided in the Muster Planning Guide.
Roll Call for the Absent List
A list of Aggies who have passed away and are to be honored at Muster will be posted in Microsoft Excel format at AggieNetwork.com/Muster in early April. This list will be sortable by City, State, and Class Year. Many families will contact the chair directly in order to make arrangements for their honoree. If you would like to contact the families personally, a "Sample Letter to the Families" is provided in the Muster Planning Guide.
Report Form
We want to know about your successful Muster! Please return the Muster Report Form in the Muster Planning Guide before May 9. You can also include any pictures or interesting stories for possible inclusion in Texas Aggie magazine. Please do not write on the pictures, but send a separate sheet with the names and Class years of those in the photo.
