KATY Area Happy Hr. @ Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar
Jun 13 @ 17:00 – 19:00
Houston is a big city!  Our chapter holds centrally-located events to draw our members together.  Sometimes, I bet you wish there was an event in Sugar Land, Pearland, or Katy to help you show that “Beat Army” spirit and socialize with other grads right near your home.  Well, we are bringing the TxGC to you!
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.  Times and Locations are to be announced.  If you are a local in any of the cities listed and would like to act as a liaison and help pick a location, please contact Michael Vlachakis ’02 (michael.vlachakis@yahoo.com).
