Forty-one of us gathered in Ann Arbor for the 2011 reunion.  We had 27 alumni and 14 current staff members for dinner and socializing.  They literally had to ask us to leave at the end of the evening...

On Saturday the usual gang put together a typical atypical Saturday Night Special: Sat_Nite_Special2011.pdf

The 2011 reunion was a rousing success!  Thanks to all the alums who attended.  You guys are what make these things so much fun.

Although we didn't have the resources to actually print out the Saturday Night Special, it'll be available on this site soon as a PDF.  To get you riled up for it, here's the cover, drawn by yours truly:

For future reunions, I'd really like to encourage all alums, not just those attending the reunion, to write or draw things for the Saturday Night Special and send them in!  This year we had a few truly wonderful contributions from non-attendees, alongside the delightful creations of attending alumni and current staff.

2011 Reunion Date Change

GargAlum Grand Poobah John Wambaugh writes:

The increasingly humorously named Big Ten will soon have twelve teams when it welcomes Nebraska from the Big Twelve (which will then have ten teams).  The 2011 reunion had been planned for November 4, with a cold, November game against Illinois the following day.  Unfortunately, that game has been changed to a road game to accommodate the addition of Nebraska to the schedule.  On the plus side, there was suddenly an opportunity for GargAlums to attend the first Big Ten Michigan-Nebraska game.

The reunion will now be held at the Michigan League, Koessler Room, Friday, November 18, 2011, with the Nebraska game the next day.  In the future we will try to slide the reunion earlier in the semester, but with the rescheduling happening one year out we could not get the League any earlier.  

I can only imagine that Nebraska will not be quite as good on the field, but somehow still get a tie when their coach suddenly announces his retirement.

The new date has been added on our Events page.  You can always check there for the latest information about upcoming reunions.
