Remember When...

... way back in '09 when Cedar Rapids alumni rode their buggys to a nearby saloon and raised a glass to their alma mater for the very first Bee Happy Hour. Alums gathered in fewer than 10 spots that year. On June 16, from 5-7 p.m. CDT, alums will gather in 30 locations across the country. We will toast SAU at approximately 6. Find your place to join them.
