The new Board of Directors will hold a meeting Saturday afternoon in Quinton, Virginia.  All alumni are invited.  Nominees for board positions are particularly encouraged to attend.

Directions from our hostess:

• From I-64, take exit 205 towards Route 60 – Bottoms Bridge/Quinton, take a left off of the exit onto Route 249 (New Kent Hwy).
• Go 2.5 miles, (you will pass Food Lion on your right).
• There will be a Methodist church with white siding and a small cemetary on your right – after you pass it, you will take your next left onto Quinton Rd. It’s a very sharp left turn.
• Follow Quinton Rd about 1/2 mile, turn right onto Rose Cottage Rd (It’s the second or third dirt road on the right.)
• Follow Rose Cottage and stay to the right anytime it forks or another driveway joins in (on the paved part.)
• The house is at the very very end of the driveway – about a half mile down. It’s a long, white brick house, blue trim, low roof. I’ll put signs or balloons up too.

Call if your lose your way. See you there!

At the national convention banquet at Denver’s Coors Field on March 25, Alpha Rho Chi announced this year’s Alumni Association Award. This year, the Metagenes Alumni tied with last year’s winners, the Daedalus Alumni. The award recognizes the sheer number and percentage of our alumni who pay national dues. Thanks to all the Hokies who paid their alumni dues and congratulations!

In recognition, the national fraternity awarded the Metagenes AA $100 towards future scholarship programs.
