Look Who’s Turning 20!

[nlcf] has been at Virginia Tech for 20 years and we want to celebrate! We are inviting all [nlcf] alumni from 1989-2009 to come to our 20th anniversary celebration this April 24-26th. It’s also the weekend of the VT football spring game. [nlcf] friends, hokies, and football—what a great combination! Kids are welcome as the events will be very family friendly.

As part of our celebration, we will have alumni-specific reunion events, and then events open to all [nlcf]’ers past and present.

• If you are [nlcf] alumni, we invite you to participate in all the events for this weekend.
• If you are an [nlcf] undergrad, we invite you to join us for the tailgate picnic on Saturday that will be before the spring game where [nlcf] past and present can meet each other. Then we will all go watch the spring game together. We will all meet up again on Sunday morning for our 20th anniversary celebration services.
