Greetings Hokies!
We had a very productive meeting on Monday night with 14 people attending. I think everyone enjoyed the social aspect as well as the meeting portion of the evening. We were working on a game watching event for the Maryland game this weekend, but have been unable to find a venue that will work for ESPN 360, so we have cancelled that event. Our board decided to sponsor a family in need for the Christmas season. We are finalizing information to send out to our membership in terms of the needs and a plan for how our alumni members can get involved. We will have a holiday social for our alumni on December 10th to collect items being donated for the family. More details will be released the first of next week.
