Frequently Asked Questions

Where and when are the events taking place?

Friday Night Social (Sept 18, 2026 | 6pm – 9pm): A casual mixer at Brookside Restaurant & Bar (Mills Winery), 9819 Horn Rd, Sacramento.
Saturday Reunion Dinner (Sept 19, 2026 | 5pm): Our main event at the Elks Lodge, 11440 Elks Circle, Rancho Cordova.

What should I expect at the Saturday Dinner?

Saturday night is our big celebration! It features a full buffet dinner, a DJ, dancing, and plenty of dedicated time to reconnect with old friends.

Will there be an open bar?

Both the Friday Social and the Saturday Dinner will feature a no-host bar (cash/card bar).

Is there a dress code for the weekend?

Friday: Think "California Casual." We want you to be comfortable while we catch up!
Saturday: Most attendees will likely wear "Snappy Casual" or "Cocktail" attire—dressy enough for a 50th celebration, but comfortable enough for a night of dancing.

What is the parking situation at the venues?

Both the Brookside Restaurant (Friday) and the Elks Lodge (Saturday) offer ample free on-site parking. If you plan on enjoying the no-host bar, we strongly encourage using a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft.

Can I bring a guest who didn't graduate in '76?

Absolutely! Spouses, partners, and "plus-ones" are more than welcome. Just remember that each guest requires their own paid registration and counts toward our 200-person capacity limit.

How much are tickets, and what do they include?

Your ticket covers entry to both events: the Friday Night Social and the Saturday Reunion Dinner. Pricing is tiered based on when you register:

Early-Bird Special: $76 per person (available now through June 30th)
Standard Pricing: $91 per person (from July 1st – September 1st)

When is the deadline to register?

The absolute cut-off date to register is September 1st. However, please note that capacity is strictly limited to 200 people, so we recommend securing your spot as soon as possible!

How do I officially RSVP?

Who can I contact if I have more questions?

What if I can’t attend but want to "pay it forward" for someone else to join?

We will certainly miss having you there! Your presence would be the best gift, but we truly appreciate your generosity in helping a fellow classmate attend.

To sponsor a ticket (or a portion of one), please reach out to us directly at cordova76reunion@gmail.com or leave a voicemail at 916-937-4676, and someone will get back to you. We can coordinate a "sponsored seat" to ensure your contribution goes toward someone who might otherwise be unable to attend due to cost. Your kindness helps keep our 50th reunion inclusive for everyone!
