Past Events
Ranger Baseball Game and Tailgate
The Texas Rangers Baseball game, Tailgate Party and food drive on Saturday, May 2nd was an event to remember!!! The weather was something else – torrential rain downpours, lightning hitting the rangers stadium, and gully washers coming through the parking lot! We still had a ton of great food and fun. Everyone had a great time and at the same time we helped out some needy families in the DFW Area!!!
Spring Social
A great time was had by all that attended the Spring Social. The club tried a new establishment, Blackfinn. Blackfinn treated us very well, providing drink specials and free appetizers.
Dallas Stars Outing
Unfortunately, the Stars lost, but a good time was had by all who attended. Everyone really liked getting a refund since the Stars decreased our ticket price!
