The Alverio Family Reunion
Last summer (2009) my cousins and I planned our second family reunion. It was celebrated in the town of San Lorenzo where my mom is from. Alverio is my mom's maternal last name, in other words my grandma's (may she RIP). Family from different parts of Puerto Rico, Chicago, and New Jersey attended the reunion. It was a very happy occasion. We danced, ate, drank, played pool, and cooled off in the swimming pool. The best part was being able to catch up, laugh, and be together as a family on a happy occasion. My sister and cousin prepared a photo album of my great great grandmother and her descendants. A total of 7 generations! It was great...I got to see a picture of my great great grandmother. Someone found a newspaper article about her. She was the oldest person living at that time. In addition, my nephew made a moviemaker that made us laugh and at times brought tears to our eyes. He did a wonderful job. I think family reunions are important to celebrate because they bring family members closer to each other and you get to learn about your roots. If your family has never done one, try it. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it. Here are a few pictures of the reunion so you can see how much fun we had. Enjoy!
