The Friars’ 70th Anniversary Celebration
April 10-11, 2026
Ann Arbor
We have a weekend of fun planned, including a Friday evening banquet at an Ann Arbor venue, Saturday daytime gatherings at the Michigan League, and the Glee Club concert at 8:00 Saturday with afterglow following. We’re working on plans for a Prior Friars musical contribution to the Glee Club concert.
Registration for the event will open in January 2026. Until then, check back here occasionally for news, venue information, and memories of past Friars reunions.
