THANK YOU to Ann, Debby, and Megan who helped with the Ut Prosim clean-up at RAAI's MAYFEST event on Saturday, May 4, 2013.
| THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the 2013 Big Event on Saturday, April 6 - Stoney, Jamie, Momma P., Megan, Wesley, Mary Ann, Katy, Robert, Laura, Sharon, and Frank. We showed the spirit of UT PROSIM by working at the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank and cleaning up trash along the Rappahanock River. We hope to have an even bigger group of volunteers next year for the 2014 Big Event on Saturday, May 5. Put it on your calendar now! |  |
We have a new feature available through our web site - an online Hokie Business Directory for the Fredericksburg area. We don't have many businesses listed yet, but we hope the directory will grow as more people find out that it is available.
If you're a Hokie (or related to a Hokie) and want to get your business listed, the "how to" information is on the directory web page. We are planning for this to be free during a trial period, and then possbily cost $25 a year. This would support our scholarship fund and other chapter activities.
