A Penny For Your Thoughts: The News of Greater Falls Church

The horrific tragedy that befell the Virginia Tech community is not yet three months old, but some wonderful young people are putting their energies into active remembrance and support. One of the slain Tech students was Mary Read, a 2006 Annandale High School graduate who was finishing her freshman year at Tech when she was killed. Several of her friends have planned a potluck and silent auction on Sunday, July 22, to raise funds for the Mary Read Scholarship at Annandale High School and the Hokie Spirit Fund. The potluck starts at 2 p.m. and the silent auction will run from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Broyhill Crest Recreation Club in Annandale, at the end of Early Street (from Gallows Road, turn onto Oliver Avenue, then left onto Murray Lane and left again onto Early Street). A $4 donation entry fee is requested. For more information about the event or how to donate to the fund, contact Virginia Burk at vwburk@wm.edu.
