Zio Fraedo's in Vallejo

Zio Fraedos was my #1 choice for the 30th Reunion H ogan '83, '84 and '86 have had their reunions there. I heard a couple of Spartans know the owners, but I'm not sure if anyone in our class does.  I've been to a couple parties there and it's a great intimate setting.  And it's in Vallejo! I contacted Zio Fraedo's in Vallejo in September (and totally forgot to follow up).  Here's the email response: Thank you for your inquiry. I have attached all of our banquet menus for you to review. All menus include use of a private room for up to 3 hours at no charge. Additional hours would be at a rate of $200 per hour. If you have a band or Dj we do require a dance floor be set up in the room. The cost for the dance floor is $250. To book our venue we would need the attached banquet form filled out and returned with a $300 deposit. Please let me know if you need anything else. Sincerely, Sherry LoForte [message] HOGAN HIGH SCHOOL - CLASS OF 1985...

Since most of our class reunions have been in October, I chose the first Saturday of October ( Oct. 3, 2020 ) as our initial reunion date.  Our 25th Reunion in Hiddenbrooke similarly was on October 2, 2010.  Of course, that date will move depending on which venue we ultimately choose. Per Denise's last email: Have fun with the spreadsheet, it is a really a helpful tool in determining realistic budgets for events. The ballroom is on hold for you, and I can hold it until the month’s end without obligation on your part. If you and your committee want to see an agreement prior to that time, simply let me know. So the key question is...
