Army/Navy Details!

We are looking to start having happy hours outside the loop for those folks that can't make the normal Benny Haven's. This month we are looking to target the Katy/Sugarland area. We are looking for someone who lives out that way who can be the rally point attendee. Please send us a message if you are interested!

We started the woodlands last month, and will do the Webster area next month (Mar), rotating them so that each quarter has a HH in that area.

The Greater Houston West Point Parents club has secured a great outdoor venue with plenty of seating to watch the game and invited our membership to join them. The venue is the Powder Keg www.PowderKegHouston.com located at: 1300 Brittmoore Rd. Houston, TX 77043.



The Powder Keg is a family friendly venue with plenty of outdoor seating and room for social distancing. Kick-Off is 2:00 PM (Central).



Beat Navy!
