Covid Precautions: The safety of all Grinnellians and guests remains our top priority. Please review our Covid-19 safety precautions and policies for all alumni events before attending the gathering. At this particular event, masks will be required any time guests are indoors. Lunches will be eaten outside on the deck of the riverboat or can be eaten privately after the event.

We hope to see you there!
