OROZCO FAMILY REUNION
SATURDAY,
JULY 7, 2012
Our 2012 OROZCO FAMILY
REUNION date is almost here! The purpose of the Orozco Family Reunion is to
remember, honor and unite the descendants of Antonia, Arcardio, Gabino,
Hilario, Ricarda, Sotero, and Tirso Orozco.
The reunion will take place on July
7, 2012 at St. Ann Catholic Church’s Parish Hall, 333 Thornberry Road, Somerville,
Texas 77879. The theme
for the reunion is ‘patriotic’. It is requested that everyone dress in the patriotic
red, white and blue colors as we pay tribute to our beautiful ‘Orozco Family’
and our ancestors, the wonderful country in which many ‘Orozco’ family member’s live, and our courageous military
veterans. We are very excited and look forward to
greeting and seeing you when you arrive!
A save the date card was sent earlier
in the year to those whose addresses we have.
A few cards were returned to the sender marked as ‘undeliverable’,
‘moved’ or ‘addressee unknown’.
Your
assistance in sharing the reunion invitation information with your ‘Orozco’
family members is requested.
You may help
us get the invitation information to your ‘Orozco’ family members by:
making a phone call or, better yet, sending a
copy of this newsletter and registration form to your family members via e-mail
or regular mail.
We look forward to reuniting
with as many family members possible on our reunion day.
Thank you to everyone for helping in this
effort.
