Hosting a Vallejo Gay Network Potluck

This is the second year in a row we had the honor of hosting a potluck for the Vallejo Gay Network. We love opening our home to such events.

The theme this year was “Disco 70’s” so you’ll notice some wardrobe choices that go with that.

Vallejo Gay Network Potluck Second September

This is our second September hosting a VGN Potluck, although our plan is to do so in March 2023. It just so happened that month had worked out for us. We’re getting better at hosting and we think that the outdoor encouragement works better for the traffic. It was a great time and we had some dignitaries attend as well.

Return to Dining with East Bay Bears

After almost two years of Covid and moving to Vallejo, we finally made it back to see our friends with the East Bay Bears, who we try to Zoom with every week. It was so great to be back (and not be required to wear a mask). We always get a room to ourselves and it’s rich food and fine people that I missed indulging with.

VGN Potluck at Shelee and Kathi’s House

Our neighbors Shelee and Kathi have an awesome house with great views from unincorporated Vallejo. They hosted the potluck on May 14. I went back for John Fox’s re-election campaign kickoff a few weeks later on June 4 and remembered to take pictures of their fabulous back garden as well.

Hosted Pot Luck for VGN

I regret that we did not take pictures of more attendees, but the house was pretty packed! We had a lot of folks stream through and made a lot of great connections!

Most of these are on a Saturday, but we would not have wanted it to be on the twentieth anniversary of 9-11, so we opted for Sunday, September 12.

When the organizer of the Vallejo Gay Network asked to pick a theme, we thought of DIVAS, of course! Every corner of the house I try to keep as an homage to Barbra Streisand, naturally.
