Maryland tailgate in its early stages
We are continuing to attract new believers to the Alumni Tailgate.
A full list of attendees is forthcoming, but we did see Jerry Bryant, Chuck Bradley (Winter ’76) and Charlie Webb (Spring ’85) among others, plus an awful lot of active brothers including all 10 Fall ’08 pledges. Impressive. And, the Hokies might even have an offense. Things are looking up.
On that note we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve come up with a real reason to come to the Duke game on November 22:

After two tailgates we’ve seen 35 different Deke Alumni. That’s a pretty good start for a brand new event. And this weekend is Homecoming, and we’re hoping to add to the total.
We know many of you will be in town… please join us on Saturday for the Western Kentucky tailgate!
Bert Burson (Winter ’79) is hosting the event this week to help you rekindle old friendships with familiar faces. Kickoff is at 1:30 pm, so we’ll start at 10:30.

The Alumni Association’s first two stadium lot tailgates at the Furman and Georgia Tech games came together successfully, with our next one planned for the coming weekend.
Feedback from alumni was uniformly positive with 15 alumni and guests attending the Furman tailgate and a whopping 39 at the Georgia Tech tailgate, in addition to our active brothers who helped make it happen.
Thanks to everyone who showed up and to those that helped make it happen – especially Theta Bowden and the Active Chapter.

The first stadium Alumni Tailgate last week went smoothly with attendance of about 15 alumni Dekes and guests – a good start for our first event at a game against a cupcake opponent.
Thanks to Theta Bowden (Fall ’70) for hosting and to Mickey Hayes (Spring ’62) for supplying the parking space.
It’s time to raise the stakes this weekend against Georgia Tech… VT’s ACC debut and probably the best home game to see this season. We’re aiming to double our turnout. We know many of you will be in town… please join us at 11:00am on Saturday to rekindle old friendships with familiar faces!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 19: We are arranging an Open House/Alumni Association Gathering before and after the VT football Spring Game.
We will be showing off the completed attic and second floor renovations. The contractor and architect will be present along with the House Committee members to give tours and answer questions.
Please take the time to visit for some refreshments, to view the renovation progress and see brothers. Families are welcome. We had a large turnout for the Alumni Meeting last fall and hope to repeat it!
