To help integrate our neighbors outside of Houston proper and to gain support for our upcoming Top Gun Benefit charity event, we are holding a happy hour event near you.
Pay/order on your own lunch off the menu.  Come out, meet your fellow Alumni, hear about the Chapter, and about our Top Gun benefit.  Enjoy comraderie.
