On April 13th, the Peninsula Hokie Club hosted approximately 100 fervent Hokie fans at their annual spring Orange & Maroon dinner.  These folks came to enjoy a delicious buffet dinner, socialize with other Hokies, and to listen to remarks by Coach Frank Beamer and Ladies Basketball Coach, Dennis Wolff. Both speakers left Hokie fans looking forward with great anticipation to the upcoming seasons.

Thanks to our Hokie Reps for their work, peninsula businesses for their continued support, and especially to ESGI for again being the title sponsor for the event.

The PHC’s annual auction of  six football season tickets was completed on July 10.  The tickets were sold in three pairs and left a Hokie in Roanoke, Moneta,VA,  and Charleston, SC anticipating viewing Hokie football from Lane Stadium this Fall. Of course, the result made the PHC very happy also since the sale will help the club reach it’s VTAF fund-raising goal for the year.

LOOKING FORWARD TO 2015 HOKIE FOOTBALL.  SEE U IN LANE SEPTEMBER 7.  GO HOKIES!!!!!!!!!
