Friday Night Campfire

Hey guys,
For this Friday night, now that the temperatures are getting cooler and the weather is turning more fall-like, we thought it would be fun to get together and have a campfire and roast some marshmallows, make some smores, and sit around the fire and tell stories and stuff. We'll also have some apple cider (and water if you prefer) to quench our smores induced thirst. Kenny is going to bring his guitar, too, so we can even sing a few songs to complete the whole campfire experience thing. Many thanks to Matt and his parents for letting us have the campfire at their place. (They have a nice place out in the country but still only about a 10 minute drive from campus.)

Meet up at CCVT's campus house at 7pm to carpool out to Matt's house.

As always, it would be great to bring a friend.

Hope to see you 7pm Friday.

Football Party for Marshall game Saturday

As you probably already know, VT's football team is playing at Marshall this Saturday at 3:30pm. Since most of us will not be in any danger of being trampled by the "Thundering Herd", being a safe distance away back here in Blacksburg, we thought it would be fun to watch the game together on the big screen here at CCVT's campus house. If you can't be at the game, the next best thing is watching it with a bunch of friends on a big screen while enjoying some delicious "football food". So that's what we'll be doing this Saturday.

We already have some generous volunteers planning to bring some ham rolls, sausage balls, chicken bites, sausage pin wheels, brownies, and of course, chips, dip, and drinks, and several people volunteered to bring something but hadn't decided what yet. So we have plenty of good food in store. If you would like to bring something to chip in, feel free, but if not, we've got you covered. So just bring yourself and maybe some friends if you want to, and come enjoy the game with us.

The game is scheduled for 3:30 so feel free to come a little while before that if you want to catch some of the pregame coverage or whatever.

Hope to see you Saturday afternoon.
Steve

P.S. -- If you haven't been to our campus house yet, it is very conveniently located right by campus. We're right over by the Washington Street tennis courts, on Clay Street, which is one block over from Washington, and parallel to it. We are the last house on the end of Clay Street closest to the tennis courts. If you live off campus and ride the bus, we are only about 100 yards from the bus stop on Washington Street. If you drive, we have parking. For clear and easy directions just look on the top right side of your screen. Of course you can always call us if you need to, too. 540-552-8292.

Hokie Scavenger Hunt -- Take 2

Our last attempt at our Hokie Scavenger Hunt two weeks ago got rained out, so this will be Hokie Scavenger Hunt -- Take 2. Our prospects look better this time around as the forecast is calling for beautiful fall weather in the 50's with no rain.

Hokie Scavenger Hunt -- Take 2 will be this Friday at 7pm at CCVT's campus house. We will be searching all over campus for items of special Hokie significance and competing in teams to see which team can come up with the most points before time runs out! It's going to be a lot of fun!

Since we will be starting the hunt soon after everyone arrives, try not to be too late, so you don't miss out on the scavenger hunt. But if you can't make it by 7pm, you should still come later, because after the scavenger hunt we will be having some snacks, playing some games, and basically just hanging out at the campus house having a good time. So that'll probably be sometime around 8:15pm.

As always, feel free to bring some friends with you. Everyone is invited.

If you haven't been to our campus house yet, you can get clear and easy directions on the top right side of your screen. Of course you can always call us if you need to, too. 540-552-8292.

Remember, 7pm Friday at CCVT's campus house.

Hope to see you there.

Friday Night Get Together

Hey guys,
If you weren't here last Friday, you missed out on some real excitement. Right after it started raining and we had to come in out of the rain, lightning struck the tree in the front yard of the campus house. Talk about a startling experience. It was LOUD and blew a big chunk of wood and a bunch of bark all over the yard, and then there was the smell of burning wood. It burned out my ethernet card, Danny's router, and Kenny's X-box, too. Ouch! So, regrettably we had to postpone the Hokie Scavenger Hunt until next week, Friday, Sept. 16. But it all turned out OK because we still had a great time just hanging out and playing games and a little guitar and stuff at the campus house while it rained outside. Everybody seemed to have a blast, and I can think of at least two really funny stories to tell you that happened that night, but I'll have to tell you in person sometime because it would just take too long by email. Ask me about it next time you see me.

So, since we had so much fun just hanging out last week, we thought we'd keep it simple again this weekend. We're going to have the volleyball net up and probably play some other games, and then pick a movie to watch a little later. I'll get us some popcorn and your choice of toppings for the popcorn, although probably not quite as many as the plethora of choices you had for the banana splits the other week. Pray for no rain so we get a chance to play outside for a while. Better pray for no lightning while you're at it!

We'll start at about 7pm this Friday at CCVT's campus house.

As always, feel free to bring some friends with you. Everyone is invited.

If you haven't been to our campus house yet, it is very conveniently located right by campus. We're right over by the Washington Street tennis courts, on Clay Street, which is one block over from Washington, and parallel to it.

Oasis Worship and Arkansas State football tickets

Well, it looks like the rains have finally subsided and maybe we won't need to rebuild Noah's Ark after all. That's good, because it will make it easier for all of us to get to CCVT's campus house for Oasis Worship Wednesday night at 7:15. Hope you will be joining us.

If you won the lottery and have a bar code for tickets to the Arkansas State game and would like to sit with your fellow CCVTers, bring your bar code with you to Oasis. Tiny has again won the lottery and again volunteered to handle getting our tickets together. Thanks, Tiny! If for some reason you won't be able to make it to Oasis but want to get your ticket with us, get in touch with Tiny and arrange a time to drop off your bar code to him. Tiny82@vt.edu 434-258-2483

If you want to come to Oasis Worship but haven't been to our campus house yet, it is very conveniently located right by campus. We're right over by the Washington Street tennis courts, on Clay Street, which is one block over from Washington, and parallel to it. We are the last house on the end of Clay Street closest to the tennis courts. You could throw a tennis ball from our front yard onto the tennis courts.

If you live off campus and ride the bus, we are only about 100 yards from the bus stop on Washington Street. If you drive, we have parking.

Whether you walk from on campus, ride the bus, or drive, any which way you can get clear and easy directions. Just look on the top right side of your screen. Of course you can always call us if you need to, too. 540-552-8292.

Remember: 7:15pm every Wednesday at CCVT's campus house.

Hope to see you there,
