Reunion Daily Agenda

Day 1: Friday 8/1/25

10:00 - 11:30am: Campus Tour coordinated by Carol Jones. If you signed up for this event during registration, meet at the Chico State sign in front of Kendall Hall. The tour begins at 10:00am, so please be on time so we do not leave without you! Dress comfortable and be sure to wear your walking shoes.

4:00pm: Check-in to your hotel and get settled in for the weekend. You can also stop by the Hotel Diamond to take some pictures at the social media Photo Backdrop in the lobby. There is no Club Zeta in the basement this year.

5:00 - 8:00pm: The Friday Night Event is held at Parkside Taphouse (115 W 3rd St, Chico, CA 95928). This event requires a ticket to attend, whether you are eating or not. If you are feeling fun, you can dress from your era (ex: 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's). Otherwise, you can wear something casual and comfortable, but be prepared for the heat! We will have indoor and outdoor seating this year.
- Burger Bar Ticket - $25. Your Burger Bar ticket includes one regular hamburger with basic fixings and covers the cost of renting the patio for the event and incidentals.
  - When you arrive, you will be checked into the event and given a ticket for the Burger Bar.
  - Burger Bar food will only be served until 7:00pm. If you arrive after 7pm and paid for a ticket, you can hang out but you will not receive your Burger Bar hamburger or a refund.
- No Food Ticket - $10. If you plan to attend the event without eating, there is a $10 attendance fee that you can pay at the door.
  - This is needed because we have a venue rental fee this year, but have not had this expense in the past.
- If you are a vegetarian, vegan or require specialty foods, you can purchase your own food through the restaurant and eat with the rest of your sisters. You would just need to pay the $10 no food ticket for entrance. The Burger Bar ticket is for a regular hamburger only, no specialty items or substitutions.
- Drinks are not included in ticket prices. You will be responsible for any drinks you want to purchase from the restaurant.

8:30pm - ?: Join your sisters in downtown Chico for an unofficial tour of favorite bars and restaurants. If you are not interested in going to the bars, you can find alternate things to do downtown on the Chico page.

Day 2: Saturday 8/2/25

10:00am - 2:00pm: The 50th Strawberry Sisterhood Celebration Luncheon is held at Lakeside Pavilion (2565 California Park Dr., Chico, CA 95928). This event requires a ticket to attend. Dress code for the luncheon is badge attire (ex: dress, jumpsuit, slacks & blouse, etc). Don't forget to wear your badge and any other special Zeta accessories you may have such as a Honor Ring, 25 member pin, etc.
- Ticket Pricing:
  - Early Bird $110, if paid by 6/30/25
  - Last Call $130, if paid between 7/1 - 7/16/25 {registration closes on 7/16/25}

- Don't forget to bring your checkbook or cash so you can purchase raffle tickets and strawberry patch messages at the luncheon! All raffle proceeds go towards Theta Alpha funded scholarships.
- Note: This year, the luncheon will be a dry event with no bar service available. We will not be serving alcohol and guests cannot bring in their own alcohol either. We will have non-alcoholic drinks available, such as ice water, iced tea, etc.
- Lakeside Pavilion is located in California Park, nestled perfectly on California Park Lake.

Day 3: Sunday 8/3/25

Note: There are no planned events on Sunday. Hotel Diamond is not offering breakfast to non-hotel guests, so we are not able to host our normal going away breakfast.
