November 17, 2011
Columbia Hokies,
Thank you all very much for coming out to a great event last Thursday night and Saturday morning!  We will be at Jillian’s again this Thursday for the game against UNC.  We will be back in the small room on the right and rooting for another big VT win.
As a little twist this week, we would like to ask that you bring non-perishable items to the party as a donation to Harvest Hope Food Bank.  The website specifically mentions needing donations of the following items:
  • canned meat and fish
  • peanut butter (in plastic jars)
  • canned vegetables and fruits
  • breakfast cereal
  • personal care items (soap, shampoo, etc.)
  • any nutritionally dense foods
Anything that you can donate will be very much appreciated for this Holiday season.  And speaking of Holiday season, please be on the look out for an email about our upcoming Holiday party!  Hope to see you all on Thursday night.  GO HOKIES!!!

VT at GT Game Watching Event

November 8, 2011

Thursday, Nov 10th at 8 pm
Jillian’s in the Vista

Alright Folks…Thursday night…big night. Virginia Tech squares off against Georgia Tech in a game that will further define the Coastal Division race in the ACC football standings, but who didn’t know that already?!

With that said…we have moved the party to the large Palmetto room in the front of Jillian’s and will be provided some hors d’oeuvres by the friendly people at Jillian’s (think wings, chips and dip and tenders, not foie gras and caviar). We will have the large TV set up, all the Hokie gear decorating the room, free food and great Hokie fellowship. And with Friday being Veteran’s Day, and a day off for most, there is no excuse to cut loose for this one (you can find Yellow Cab and Blue Taxi on google.com).

Feel free to bring friends and family as this will surely be a good time. HOWEVER, please do not forget that we will also be cleaning up litter on our adopted street (Hampton Street) from 9 am to 11 am on Saturday, November 12th! I hope to see you all on Thursday night and again on Saturday morning.
