SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM REMINDER!

As your high school seniors begin to assess financial requirements for college, here’s some information you’ll want them to have. Applications are available and being accepted for the Louis C. Biondi Memorial Scholarship program. Children or grandchildren of current or deceased members of the Fratellanza Club who will graduate from high school at the end of the 2011/2012 school year are eligible to apply (deadline March 1, 2012) and awards will be announced in June, 2012. This past year Five $1,500 Scholarships were awarded. This Program has become a very important component of Club sponsored activities and continues to prosper from private donations and proceeds from our very successful annual Scholarship Golf Tournament. Please contact Rich Adams - 510/531-2020 or visit our website - www.fratellanzaclub.com for a scholarship application.

“No-show” Policy

As most of our sister clubs have already done, the Fratellanza club will implement a “no-show” charge of $10 beginning on January 1, 2011. The rules are as follows: The reservation “cut-off” date will remain unchanged, 3pm two days before each event, after which there will be a 24 hour “cancellation window” until 3pm the day before each event. Any cancellations made after the cancellation window has closed will be subject to a $10 cancellation fee. The person making the reservations will be responsible for any cancellation fees. Cancellation fees can only be waved by the President or his representative for the event in question. The time stamp on email and voice mail messages will be the final determination as to when reservations were made.

New Reservation System

The new system will allow you to make reservations by phone or email, whichever you prefer. The phone reservations will no longer go to our Club phone line - they will be directed to a voice mail box.

Please have your reservations in by 3pm on the posted date. We really need your help on this!

The reason for this is to get a more accurate count of guests for each dinner so that we can have the correct amount of food on hand. Based on advance reservations and past history, food will be ordered for a certain number of diners for each event. In the future a dinner will be considered “sold out” when the reservation total reaches the amount of food ordered for that event. Each event will have only one person handling reservations, that person will be your sole contact for reservations and will be in the ticket window when you come to pick up your tickets! The goal here is to minimize the miscommunication that plagued our old system. Thanks in advance for your understanding in this very important matter.

We have made a change to our dining room dress code; It is now OK to wear shorts to our Birthday Dinners. Please use good common sense and wear shorts that are knee length and keep in mind that the “no tank tops” rule is still in affect (Men only).

HELP! The club needs you. We have over 500 members and over 250 newsletters are still being mailed every month. Do you have access to the web? Do you have an email address? Please help us out by getting our monthly newsletter from our website and not the US Mail. It costs many volunteer hours every month to stuff 250 envelopes not to mention the cost of copies and postage.

The Fratellanza Club is one of the largest social clubs in America founded by Italian pioneers for the purpose of providing a social center for themselves, their families, and their guests. The purposes of the club are entirely social in scope, dedicated to the moral and physical well-being of its members, the promotion of the best interests of the community, and the highest ideals of their American citizenship and Italian heritage. Members may reserve and/or attend the Club for Wedding Receptions, Dinners, Parties, Meetings, etc. The Club has two full bars, a large ballroom, a spacious dining hall, bocce ball alleys and much more! The rental of the Fratellanza Club must be sponsored by an active member.

Come to the club...
Have dinner, maybe a drink. Play some cards, some bocce... Or just have a conversation. Come to a members dinner, or a family dinner. When seated, make a point to meet someone new. You’ll be glad that you did.
