Peninsula Hokie Club

The PHC held it’s monthly meeting at Beamer’s American Grill in Hampton, Va on Nov. 2..  The purpose of the meeting was to present our annual gift to VTAF.  This year’s gift was a check for $9,500 toward the club’s pledge in support of the new football practice facility.  Again this year, the club gift is a culmination of many fund-raising activities conducted throughout the year with the help of our Hokie Reps, our business sponsors, and other Hokie Club members.  We thank everyone who participated in these activities and hope we can count on you again next year.

The picture below reflects the symbolic presentation of the annual gift.  Club members present in the picture are: 1st row left to right – George Leftwich, Carolyn Seamster, Frank Seamster, Terry Bolt-VTAF Director of Athletic Development; 2nd row left to right – Bob Ross, John Wells, Bill Bradley, Roy Burrows.

The Peninsula Hokie Club will be working the beer concessions at the Saturday evening Hampton Festival on September 3^rd at 6 pm.  This is the last beer gig the club will work this year.   Of course, the Hokie football team is playing Appalachian State the same day in Blacksburg.  Therefore, some of our regular workers will be at the game which means we will need some new volunteers.  Come on out and have some fun selling suds, sampling the product and listening to some good music.  The money we earn will go to support our fund-raising goal for the VT Athletic Fund.  Contact John Wells at jandbwells@cox.net if you can help.

Auction ends around 9:15pm EST on Friday, July 15^th, 2011.

Eighty golfers participated in our 16th annual Hokie Club golf event at the Williamsburg National Golf Club.  All 80 participants received a prize, in addition to a great day weather-wise and a nice picnic-style lunch with a keg sponsored by W.M.Jordan Co.  It doesn’t get much better than that.

The champion of the captain’s choice golf event with a score of 58 was the team of James Craft, Bob Mowers, Tom Mihalik, Jim Wood. First Flight winners with a 59 were Brian Grieff, Bill Mckay, Ken Moyer, Larry Harden. Second Flight winners with a 59 were Frank Seamster, Carolyn Seamster, Chris Seamster, and Nick Re. Third Flight winners with a 62 were Jason Hartmann, Paul Hartmann, Joe Fudge Jr, and Joe Fudge III. Of course, the real winner will be VTAF, the beneficiary of our golf fund-raiser.  Thanks to all who participated and the sponsors of both the dinner and golf events.

Approximately 88 Hokies turned out for the annual O & M dinner on May 3rd at the Point Plaza Hotel in Newport News.  They listened with interest to remarks from Athletic Director, Jim Weaver and newly appointed VT Women’s Basketball Coach, Dennis Wollf.  Coach Wollf told the audience that even though he had never coached a women’s team, the experience he gained going through the recruiting process with his daughter, who was the #1 recruit in America a few years ago, would be a great help in his new job.  Also coaching men for 15 plus years gave him more than enough experience for the job.  Continue reading →
