2008 WAA Social Events Planned

The WAA will provide more frequent opportunities in 2008 for former Westchester classmates to network and build our own social and business communities, and corporately, offer financial and volunteer support to Westchester Academy of International Studies. We hope to have a social every 4 months or so.

We would like to give Westchester classmates the opportunity to put their names into the hat FIRST ~ if you own or have access to a restaurant, venue, Houston-area property (for bonfires, BBQs, etc.) that would make a great "party place" for this awesome cause, we would love to hear from you! If you know of a classmate who might have interest in this opportunity to promote their business, please pass this on! We would love to shake it up and enjoy socials across the Houston area! Secondly, we will help to promote businesses near the campus.
We have enjoyed successful events at Clay's Restaurant, which is owned by Damian Seaback, WHS '77 and also by Grisby Grill, owned by Judy Foster Coker, WHS '74. At our homecoming in November at Clay's, we had OVER 100 in attendance! We'd love to help promote your business while, at the same time, build our WAA network. The homecoming will remain our primary function, while the mixers will be "additional" opportunities throughout the year. If you happen to miss one, you won't have to wait too long till another rolls around!

Please contact Lauri.L.Ramsey@conocophillips.com if you have interest in hosting a future social! We're looking forward to a very festive 2008! Be in touch!
