We had a successful Hokie Day on February 4th in Richmond with more than 70 alumni and students visiting legislators. We have enclosed information on another important gathering of higher education supporters on Monday, February 9, 2004. This rally will be at 11:00 a.m. in Capitol Square with the Governor and others present to show their strong support for increasing appropriations this year for colleges and universities.

...Not a Penny Less than what Virginia Needs!
