October Newsletter

Tuesday, October 05, 2021 12:21 PM | Anonymous

This Month's Newsletter is sponsored by our Knights Classic Title sponsor, Liberty Realty Advisors. JJ Chapa and his team have been huge supporters of the DFWAA over the years, please think of them the next time your thinking of buying or selling a home. Thank you for your support!

Chairman Message:

Happy October brothers!

The smell of mesquite is in the air, as tailgate season has finally come to the DFW. Its the time of year when all you need is a fold out chair, a filled cooler, and a for your teams kicker to miraculously pull 40 points so you can win your fantasy week matchup.

I am forever thankful to all of the brothers that have continued to support the DFWAA during the year. With the Knight's Classic coming up on Friday, and the 5th Annual DFWAA Gala following close behind, it is great to see all out our hard work throughout the year come together into our two biggest events of the year!

Don't worry, we still have plenty of work to do over the next couple months, and the DFW is always grateful for volunteers willing to help us organize/run our events. Curious about how you can help out the DFW? simply reply to this email, or send text/call me at 682-551-4000.

Thank you for your time in reading this newsletter, and lets all pray Mahome's leads my fantasy team to victory this week!

Your Humblest of Chairmen,

Mike Dominguez



UTA AlumKnight Event Introduces 2021 Rush Interests to DFW Brothers

We would like to thank the undergraduate TAU chapter at UTA for allowing local alumni to join in their rush schedule last month. Alumni had the opportunity to meet with, answer questions, and share their experiences with the 2021 interests at the University of Texas at Arlington. Though it is hard to describe our brotherhood to outsiders looking in, it was inspiring to hear about the journeys, the struggles, and the great memories that our alumni have experienced through our brotherhood.


DFWAA Wines and Dines at Times Ten Cellars


Thank you to our Brothers, our friends, and the Kappa Delta Chi ladies that came out to our Wine Tasting night last month at Times Ten Cellars. Special shoutout to National President, Jesus Apodaca, who was able to make it out in his ODPrez-mobile. We had a great time trying their various wine flights, snacking on flatbread pizzas, and charcuterie boards

Congrats to our September Raffle Winner Winner

Curious to Know Joe C's answer to our question?

Well as Joe explained, he always had a bit of animosity towards ducks, as he was actually attacked by one when he was a small child. He would take this opportunity to exact his revenge on the colossal duck challenger. In addition, seeing as how Big Tex is NOT an ODPhi Knight, he would stand no chance against him, as he turned his attention towards the miniature army, once the duck was defeated. In the end "Both would get the Big Sword!"

We thank you Sir Joe Cereceres, for that thought out and creative answer to our DFWAA question of the Month. Since the answer was technically both A and B, we were happy to add everyone that answered our question into our raffle.

We would like to Congratulate our September Raffle winner, Bella KChristy. Bella and her kids will be attending the State Fair of Texas with 4 free tickets along with $50 in Food and Ride Coupons. We thank you, Bella for being part of the DFWAA network and we hope that y'all enjoy a wonderful day out at the fair.



Thank you for your time in reading this newsletter. As always, keep safe, and see yall next month!

One DFW,

DFWAA
