Food, Football, Friends, and Alabama vs. VT Saturday night

Do you love watching football? Do you love eating delicious food while you watch football? Do you love eating delicious food while watching other people watch football, because you really don't like watching football, but you like hanging out with friends? If any of these is true of you, then you should come join us this Saturday night to watch the Alabama vs. VT football game.

It starts at 8pm this Saturday and we are going to watch it on our 84 inch screen at our campus house. A bunch of us are pitching in to bring all kinds of traditional football party snack food to share and we need your help eating it. Feel free to bring some food to share, or just bring yourself and a friend. We'll have plenty of food so don't feel like you have to bring anything to come.

We're hoping to meet some new people besides enjoying the game with old friends, so please come whether you are a fixture at CCVT or coming for the first time. Maybe this is your first year at Tech and you are just now adjusting to classes and a new campus enough to feel ready to leave your homework behind for a few hours and kickback and relax and checkout our campus ministry.

At any rate, CCVT's student leaders who planned this party are really hoping you'll join us this Saturday at 8pm at our campus house. I am too.

Remember, our campus house is right on the edge of campus by most of the dorms, over by the Washington Street tennis courts -- probably closer than most of your classes if you live on campus. If you need directions, probably the best way to get them is to type "413 West Clay St., Blacksburg, VA" into Google maps.

If you are walking from on campus, do this: When you are standing on Washington Street between O'Shaughnessy (O'Shag) Hall and Johnson Hall you are only one short block away. Cross to the other side of the street and take the sidewalk up the hill towards VT's Cranwell International Center. (You will see a sign for Cranwell on Washington St.) VT's Tennis Courts will be on your right. As you are walking up the hill veer to your left off of the sidewalk and walk up the grassy hill. (Veer left before you get to the chain link fence with all the vines growing on it. We are on the other side of that fence.) You will see the campus house facing you. It's a two story red brick house with a big front porch and a banner on the balcony railing that says "Christ's Church @ VT Campus Ministry" -- so you'll know you found the right place once you get here! It's really pretty simple, but feel free to call me if you have any trouble: 540-552-8292.

See you 8pm Saturday.
