Augusta Free Press Publishing and The New Dominion Magazine sponsored We Are All Hokies: A Community Vigil, an April 20, 2007 event at Waynesboro High School to remember the victims of the tragic April 16, 2007 shootings at Virginia Tech.

The event drew more than 500 area residents and raised $1,000 for the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund.

Please join us in front of the Charles T. Yancey Municipal Building Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. for a vigil marking the one-year anniversary of the Virginia Tech tragedy.
