We all had a wonderful time catching up with each other and finding out what Nu and Lambda are up to. As you can see from the picture, the attendees’ first year in band ranged from 1969 to 2013. Stories were told about past Nu and Lambda activities as well as conventions and fun band stories.

They are planning to do this again this year after the 2016 Blast from the Past. If you are an alumnus/ae of Nu or Lambda, your attendance is highly recommended!

This year's brunch will be:
9 am Sunday, October 23
