Message From Ben Alegre - Grand Reunion May 2007

Greetings to all my dear relatives, from the bottom of my heart allowme to convey my warmest regards to all of you. I hope for peace andhappiness in all your undertakings.During my last visit to Paoay last February, I was privileged to meetsome relatives and I felt very happy and yet sad at the same timebecause so many of our relatives were gone and never had the chance tosee them. It is really true that life is too short and we shouldalways take advantage of the time we have as a family. And I thoughtthat the best way to enhance this time is to gather ourselves togetherin one occasion and why not, a grand reunion for the whole AlegreClan, anybody that has in one way or another has an Alegre bloodline or connected through affinity are all welcome. I started mentioningthis idea to some and I was surprise to receive so many positivefeedbacks and thus the Alegre Grand Reunion was conceived. And beforeI left a committee of coordinators for the event was designated, and Ithank my cousin, Mrs. Corazon Alegre Martin for taking charge.Now is the time for all of us to unite together as one to make thisevent very successful, memorable and enjoyable. To me, this will be avery historic and especial event, this time we as a clan canstrenghened our ties and bonds, get to know and meet one another andjust have a good time.We heartily welcome any suggestion, input, ideas, critics and helpfrom anyone, as individual or group, as family, we should make aconcerted effort to contribute to the success of this affair and weare hopeful for your positive and willing participation. Sincerely,Elpidio A. Alegre
