This Wednesday is the one year anniversary of the tragic school shooting Virgina Tech experienced on April 16th, 2007. Recently, Northern Illinois University (NIU) experienced a shooting tragedy on their campus as well. These tragic events have effected everyone, and hit home to the college community. This year a team of alumni from Virginia Tech and the Ohio State University (OSU) will hold an event to remember both tragedies and raise money for both memorial and scholarship funds created by the Universities.
This event has nothing to do with handbags, but I find it very compelling to share the information. I remember sitting in my hotel room listening to the news unfold of the VT school shootings. At the time I was in Europe and their cities were speaking about it and even offering condolences when they realized we were American. These tragedies affected all people of all countries around the world. While Vlad and I cannot make the events in San Diego or Virgina this week, we hope any of you in the area will stop by, have some food and drinks (proceeds from each restaurant will be donated to both schools). If you happen to make it to Dogfish Head Alehouse, make sure to ask for Shannon Mahoney, my sister, who has helped put this together and will be representing Purse Blog.
