Thank you for your help, and please enjoy our July Newsletter below:


Summer 2021 is here and there has never been a better time to be a DFWAA member! From getting too hype by the pool to getting too tan on the lake, June has given us a great start to the season, and I have a feeling the fun just getting started! 

Thank you again to everyone that has come out to hang with us so far, and we would love to see you all out at our next event. 

Don't miss out, join the DFWAA Monthly text alerts via the Remind app, and keep updated on the happenings in the DFW.  https://www.remind.com/join/6k8hd6

Have a great month everyone! 

Cheers,

Mike Dominguez 

 

June Wrap Up:

Jessie Tapia Reels In Record Breaking** Catch!

**Record Breaking in this case is defined as the largest fish out of the sample of those caught by the 14 people that attended this particular fishing trip. Not to say that any other data or research was evaluated when making this claim.

 



June started off with our brotherhood deep sea fishing trip to Galveston, TX. In all 14 attended the weekend which included arcade games, shuffleboard, pool tournaments, some fine AirBNB home cooking, and of course a 12-hour fishing tour.

While everyone caught their limit, Jessie Tapia, the "Snapper Whisperer", snagged (what I can only guess to be) a 13lb+ Red Snapper to win our group challenge.  Special thanks to our Service Chair, Steven Olson, who brought this awesome trip together.

If you would like to see this trip become an annual DFWAA outing, please let us know! 

 

DFWAA Tees Off For a Great Cause!

On Friday June 18th, through the generous donation of one of our members, the DFWAA was able to send a few of our knights to support the Knights of Columbus Council 5052's 6th Annual Charity Golf Tournament.

Not to brag, but the words "new high score" might have been mentioned, so those of you reading better bring your "A" game when you attend the upcoming Knights Classic Sponsored by Liberty Realty Advisors on October 8th!

All in all we had great weather and a great time meeting the members of Council 5052!

El Chapa Sets Sail on Lake Lewisville!

Last month Active brothers were invited to set sail on Lewisville Lake with former Chairman, JJ Chapa of Alpha Chapter. 

It was a great day of sailing and lunch time chats on the dock. Thank you JJ for having us out!
