Good Morning Hokies!
Thanks to all of those who volunteered for the Habitat Build with the VT students last week.

See details below.
Check out our new website design at www.nctriadhokies.com Thanks to R.J. Webb for developing this new format. This should allow some new features that many of you may want to take advantage of. If you want to particpate in the forums on the website, you will need to log on and register to be a user.
We are planning on participating as a group in the Komen Race for the Cure again this year on the first Saturday in May. Stay tuned for details.
We have some news in the works for our local website as well as a new website for the Hokie Nation. We are in the process of changing www.nctriadhokies.com to create a more dynamic website that is more interactive for all of our members. Ironically the Virginia Tech Alumni Association is in the process of creating an exclusive online social networking community for all VT Alumni. This will enable you to connect with friends,, check on chapter events, create your own groups, etc. This will be called the Hokie Nation Network and is set to go live in just a few weeks. More details later on that.

We will be setting up a committee soon to review applications and interview students to award our scholarships for the coming year. If you are interested in spending a few very worthwhile hours assisting in this process, please email me. You will find this to be a very rewarding experience.
We are announcing a new fundraiser for our scholarships for freshmen students who will be attending Virginia Tech. This will be called the Scholar Dollar Club. For a $ 25 contribution, your name will be placed on our website as a Scholar Dollar member. In order to claim tax benefit as a donation, your check should be made out to the VT Foundation and designate the NC Triad Scholarship Fund on the check.

Checks may all be sent to Linda Allen, 6 Kempton Drive, Greensboro, NC 27406. You will also receive a VT lapel pin to display at local functions as a "Scholar Dollar" Member
