Peninsula Hokie Club

The three auctions detailed below for three pairs of Hokie football season tickets ended successfully on July 5th.  Each pair of tickets were available for bidding for one week so it took approximately three weeks to conclude the auction.  We will now have a Hokie from Roanoke, Lynchburg, and Northern Virginia enjoying VT football this fall courtesy of our auction.   Of course, the purpose of the auction was to benefit the VT Athletic Fund.  Thanks to all who participated.

On April 22, 115 Hokies and friends attended the annual PHC Orange & Maroon tour dinner.  The dinner was held at the Point Plaza Suites at City Center. in Newport News.   Coach Frank Beamer was the speaker for the evening’s festivities.  The legendary coach, who is number 1 in wins among active Division One coaches, gave a very entertaining  presentation.  In the process he brought the attendees up-to-speed regarding the Hokie football program, our recruits, our red-shirts, and our prospects for the 2013 football season.  Ms. Terry Bolt, Director of Development for the VT Athletic Fund also spoke and brought Hokies up to date on fund-raising for the Athletic Fund.  In summary, it was an entertaining  and educational evening.  Thanks to all who attended our annual dinner.

On May 14th the annual PHC/ESGI golf outing was conducted at Kiln Creek GC. This is the first time that Kiln Creek has hosted the tournament. Seventy-seven golfers as well as four volunteers  participated in the event. It was a beautiful day for golf; this was after postponing the event from the week earlier due to inclement weather reports. A luncheon and awards ceremony followed the tournament. Every golfer including volunteers received an award for participation. The event was also attended by Ms. Betty Lee Robertson, VTAA Coordinator.  Thanks to everyone who participated.  A special ‘thank you’ goes out to our title sponsor, ESG International.  The golf event is the major fund-raising activity of the year for the PHC.  Results from the golf were as follows:

Due to the strong possibility of rain storms on Tuesday May 7, the golf tourney is being rescheduled to Tuesday, May 14. Hopefully Mother Nature will give us better weather on the new date. Everything else will remain the same, i.e. starting times, etc.

Anyone who cannot play on the new date and wants a refund, contact me and I’ll take care of it. Anyone who could not play on May 7 and would like to play on the new date should get in touch with me also.

Please help me pass the word to anyone who may be interested.

Thanks,
