Same JMU THIRD THURSDAY Tradition -- NEW
LOCATIONS!
Given that our tradition of having JMU alumni happy
hours EVERY third Thursday is nearly 5 years old, we figured it's
time to switch things up a little. While much is still the same
--start time is 6:00, JMU ladies are lookers, and single guys are
in high demand -- both the Virginia Beach and Norfolk locations are
new! JMU people can always be counted on to be fun and friendly so
why not come out and join us
October 16, Gordon Biersch , Town
Center, VA Beach (extended happy hour specials for JMU alumni).
November 20, Bobbywood on Monticello Avenue in downtown Norfolk.
