Greetings Hokie Alumni!
Our next alumni meeting is tonight Monday, Sept. 14th. See details below. Our officers will be attending the annual Officer's Forum in Blacksburg this weekend. Our goals are to learn more about how we can improve our chapter and better serve our alumni in the area. If you have any thoughts in advance or things you would like for us to inquire about, please let me know. We appreciate everyone's continued support of our activities.
- Our next alumni meeting will be tonight, September 14th at the Embassy Suites at Hwy 68 and I-40 near the airport. The social half hour will begin at 6:00 PM and the meeting will begin at 6:30. Admission is free!
- For those who wish to caravan to the Duke game in Durham and park together, the Hokie fans will meet at the parking lot of the Target store located off I-40 in Burlington. Jill has put some additional info on the Facebook page about this, but you can also contact Jill directly at 757-619-9806. The plan is to park near the Science Building,which is an easy walk from the stadium.
- We will have local game watching events for the Ga Tech and the Maryland football games. Stay tuned for details
- Check out our new Facebook page for the NC Triad Hokies. You can sign up to be a part of this group ! Jill Heyman is coordinating that for us.
- Join the new Hokie Nation Network. Most of you should have already received an email about this exciting (and also free) new social and professional network for hokies. Just go to www.alumni.vt.edu/hnn to sign up.
- Check out our new website at www.nctriadhokies.com
- If you are interested in serving as an officer on the local alumni board, feel free to contact me (Tom Hughes) for more information. There is not a major time commitment involved, and we would welcome some new members on the board.
- Our NC Triad Chapter has awarded two $2500 scholarships this year to two very deserving students from the Triad who will be attending Virginia Tech this fall. They are Gregory J. Andia and Marion Anderson Carroll. Congratulations to these two outstanding individuals on their accomplishments. Thanks to Jill Heyman for coordinating this important mission of our chapter.
- We are continuing our fundraiser for our scholarship fund, which is called the Scholar Dollar Club. For a $25 contribution, your name will be placed on our website as a Scholar Dollar Club contributor. In order to claim the tax benefit of a donation, your check should be made payable to VT Foundation and your check memo should designate the NC Triad Scholarship Fund. You may also make checks payable to the VTAA-NC Triad Chapter if you are not concerned with the tax benefits of a donation. You may send those to Linda Allen, 6 Kempton Drive, Greensboro, NC 27406. You will receive a VT lapel pin to display at local functions as a Scholar Dollar Club member.
Beat the Huskers !
