CARDINAL OFFICE OPEN HOUSE
10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Relive your Cardinal days and meet today's staff in their natural habitat -- the Cardinal's Vilas Hall offices. The equipment may have changed somewhat, but the atmosphere is still the Cardinal you remember: young journalists fearlessly sifting and winnowing to find the truth.
GALA CELEBRATION
7:30 - 11 p.m. at The Orpheum Theater
Wish the Cardinal a happy birthday with drinks and dancing at one of Madison's most unique venues, the Orpheum! There will be a silent auction of art and photography to benefit the Cardinal's scholarship funds. Meet old friends and raise a toast to the Cardinal's next 120 years.
There are other events planned on campus to coincide with the anniversary. More details on those will follow.
Please consider organizing an informal gathering for your colleagues on Saturday afternoon at the bar or venue of your choice.
All events will be held in Madison Wisconsin
Continuing Cardinal Camaraderie: April 26-28, 2012
Where will you be on these dates? Plan to be in Madison for the 120th anniversary of the Cardinal.

Whether you stayed in journalism or not, we want to see YOU. Room blocks have been reserved under "Daily Cardinal" at the Doubletree Hotel near campus and the Lowell Center on Langdon Street.
Next month: full details on pictures, panels and parties.
