The reunion is quickly coming upon us, and we have so many fun things in store! One of the great things about our family reunion, besides seeing everyone again, is getting to participate in our own beloved family reunion traditions and activities.
And those traditions are made even more special because of the family members that make them so. Here are some of our awesome members who will be making the Vasquez Family Reunion 2019 the amazing memory that it will be!
Pastor Greg Sumii
Since the beginning of our Family Reunion, Uncle Greg (as I know him) has been the mainstay of our Sunday Services.
He officiated twenty years ago, when we first visited Camp Campbell (the main picture abover for this post is from that family reunion), and this year we’re so excited that not only will he be officiating our service, but also we will once again be holding our Sunday Service in the beautiful redwood chapel that everyone remembered so fondly!
And to commence the reunion, we’ve also asked Uncle Greg to open our gathering with a prayer of dedication and safety.
Mariana Rivera
Is there anyone in our family with a better physique than Mariana Rivera? And those toned muscles are not for nothing!
Mariana is a well known and much sought after Personal Fitness Trainer. And because you’re lucky enough to be related to her, you get to participate in not one, but two of her exercise classes!!
Join us at 7:00 am, Saturday and Sunday mornings, for the return of her much extolled exercise class, Nalgas of Steel!!
Aleida Vasquez Nunez
If you’re a Facebook friend of Aleida’s, you know the most likely place you’ll find her is on the dance floor!
So to put those skills to use, this year we’ve convinced her to share her knowledge and talent, and to teach us how to move it on the dance floor the way she does!
Before dinner on Saturday, Aleida Nunez will be teaching a dance class for both young and old not-as-young-as-the-other-younger-ones-than-we-are-are! And then we’ll be turning up the volume and putting those new skills to use at our DANCE DANCE!!
Make sure to check your itinerary and join us Saturday at 5:00 pm on the dance floor!
Sid Rios
Sid Rios, the husband of Lucinda Vasquez Rios, has been a member of the Vasquez family for almost as long as I have (Alma Vasquez)! And for as long as I can remember, Sid has faithfully served the Vasquez family as the Family Psalmist, leading us in worship, and blessing us with his beautiful voice.
For this year’s Family Reunion, Sid will be leading us once again in song, as we sing around the campfire!
So don’t go to bed early! And join us at 9:00 pm each night for Singing & S’mores around the campfire!
Burt Cassidy
Though not “officially” a family member, Burt Cassidy has MC’d our family game shows so often, that he seems like family (in that creepy, Uncle Joe sort of way . . .).
Without a family reunion of his own to attend, Burt will be joining us once again as our Guest Host for the Vasquez Family Game Night!
And a word to the wise! Hone up on your Vasquez family trivia, because the Vasquez Family Game Night will be all over it!
Note: a reading of Auntie Becky’s “Las Hijas de Don Chon,” book would do every family member with the Vasquez-competition-genes well.
How EXCITING!! Cannot wait!!
We can’t wait either!! It’s getting so exciting!
Looking forward to seeing you again soon Cris!!!
I have my children coming to this event and I’m prettttty sure I saw Burt Cassidy on a list that has him restricted from coming within 300 feet of schools, ice cream trucks and play grounds.
Dear Mr. Perez,
While I completely appreciate your concern, the legal representation of Los Nietos de Don Chon has unreservedly assured me that your children are neither a school, an ice cream truck, or a playground.
I thank you for sharing your concern, but as I recall, the allegations by Nathan “The Badger” Perez were completely unfounded. We continue to stand is solidarity with Mr. Cassidy.
Sincerely, Los Nietos de Don Chon
Well truthfully, I am bringing my grandkids and with my law enforcement background I know by Mr. Cassidy’s appearance, that he is NOT to be trusted around kids! I will come prepared though, with my badge and cuffs in case Mr Cassidy gets out of line! I will be watching HIM, very closely!!!
Thank you, Officer Sumii!
On behalf of the Reunion Committee, we are grateful to know that, under your watchful eye, our family and children will be safe from harm!!
