Mike's Farewell

Chairman's Message: 

Happy Holidays brothers! 

As they say,  all good things must come to an end.

This month's newsletter marks the end of my 2 years as Chairman of the DFWAA! I hope that you all have enjoyed these newsletters, and our event programming over the last two years, as much as I have enjoyed planning them for yall. 

What will Mike do with all of his new found free time? Well, I do plan to keep involved under whoever takes up the mantle of chairman next year but will step back as Linda and I are planning our wedding late 2023! Woot! 

This section of the newsletter has always been a cathartic one for me. While I do not know how many of you actually read it in its entirety, if you have found yourself scrolling through, I would like to thank you for taking the time out of your day to check-in with our brotherhood.

It can be too easy to lose hours running from meeting to meeting, too easy to lose days running the same weekly errands, and all too easy for those lost weeks to turn into months or even years. Do me a favor... Take a deep breath. Enjoy the moment. Maybe send a text to your Big bro, your little bro, chapter bro, or even a friend from your college days. I'll leave it to you to figure out the message. This organization brought us all together for a reason, and I am ever grateful to have you all in my life because of it.

As always if you need anything, or would just like to chat, feel free to reach out at my contact below.

Yours in Service and Brotherhood,

Mike Dominguez

November Wrap up

DFWAA Community Raise over $3000 to provide Thanksgiving Meals to families in need! 

We would like to thank every single person who donated to our annual Thanksgiving Drive this year, which benefitted the students of Dewitt Perry Middle School. Special thanks to brother, Long Le, for spearheading this effort, Billy Macklin for getting us connected with the sponsored school, and Brother Bryan Rodriguez for getting us set up with Kroger and our turkeys for the drive. Many thanks to the administration and staff at Perry MS for facilitating this drive. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to ensure over 25 families were able to celebrate a Thanksgiving feast together. Thank you to all of those who donated time or money to this amazing effort. Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

The Annual Turkey Bowl Crowns Its 2022 CHAMPION!!!

Thank you to everyone that was able to come out to our annual Turkey Bowling Tournament in Arlington last month. Brothers, 87 FAM, and DFWAA community members had a great time enjoying Whiskey samples, ZaLat Pizza, and of course getting the chance to compete in our Turkey Bowling Tournament!

Competition was FIERCE this year, as it all came down to a showdown between defending Champion, Zach "Wreck'n Bowls" Dominguez and Tau brother/event organizer Roy Ferretiz. In a NAIL BITING set of last frames, Roy narrowly picked up a spare to close out his round. Unfortunately for Zach, his hopes of a 2nd year's victory were TARNISHED as he failed to knock down the dreaded 7-10 split.

Congratulations to our 2022 CHAMPION ROY "Shake-In-Bake" FERRETIZ.
