As a special way to honor our class' 50th reunion, the Alumni Office is hosting a social from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the Rogalski Center. Drinks and appetizers provided. If you'd like a campus tour prior to the social, a staff member will be available at 4:30 p.m. for a walking campus tour. Register for this reunion event here.
The traditional gathering at the Circle Tap will be an all-class reception hosted by the Alumni Association starting at 7:00 p.m. This gathering is always such a great time!
Saturday, October 19, 2024
A tailgate party will be setup behind The Humility of Mary Center / St. Vincent and ready to go by 10:00 a.m. at the new Assumption field. Bobo and Julie Carroll, Jeff Nowack (and Chris) and Goldie (and Cindy) will be providing tables, chairs, ice, some beer. We ask that you bring either some beer (6 pack), pop, mix, water, vodka (or any other liquor --- e.g., Rum Chata, Fireball, Schnapps, etc.) or Bloody Mary mix to meet with the demand for beverages that we have every year. The game starts at 12:00 p.m. (Kevin '75 and Julie '76 Polancic also provide financial assistance as they have done every year.)
The Bees host Culver Stockton at 12:00pm at the "shared" football field behind Assumption High School.
Just an additional note, after the game on Saturday, many people go to the "Ambrose bars" located at 29th and Brady --- Bleys (the old Bleyarts) and Rookies. This is where most of the current Ambrose "kids" and many of the recent Alumni go after the game.
Join us at "Me and Billy's" (on the corner of 3rd Street and Main Street) to say "hi" and gather. This is a popular location owned by a friend of the Alumni.

Hope to see everyone there,
