She has created a DVD of the 1st ever reunion in Sweetwater and is selling them for $10.00. If you are interested in purchasing a copy please call her to order. I have her contact information in a previous post so please check her available hours before calling.

Midland Reunion Update

2009-09-08T13:23:00.000-07:00

Lulu is asking anyone that videotaped DeLoera Reunion's #2 & #4 which were both

held in Sweetwater to please send her a copy. She wants to convert them to CD's to

make a slide presentation. Her cell # is 714-589-4893 (please call on weekends

Texas time would be after 6pm on Saturday and after 7pm Sunday) Lulu is planning

to have it at the Hilton in Midland, Tx. They require $1000 deposit in order for her to

reserve it for July 28, 2012. The reunion fee will be $50 for everyone over 10 years

old. They don't offer a childs plate for dinner so the extra will go to cover them.

I'll continue to provide updates as she passes them on to me

Proximo Sonido Update

2009-07-06T21:49:00.001-07:00

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update in case you were not at the reunion. This is the band that we had playing for us Saturday night. It's made up of mostly DeLoera descendants and just a few days ago they made it into the top 5 nominees for the Crossover Song of The Year (Liar) at the Tejano Music Awards. This year the awards are taking place on July 17th so check your local listings and watch the show to find out the results. Congratulations guys! The show on Saturday was great!

Free at last...free at last ha ha!

2009-07-05T20:57:00.001-07:00

I'm just kidding, kind of. I want to thank all of you who came out and made this a very successful reunion. With your participation we were all able to have a great time! I want to especially thank the following people in no particular order: Mike and Ellie Castro, Jennifer Munoz, Elizabeth DeLoera, Mary Thomas, Able DeLoera, Albert DeLoera, Proximo Sonido, Gloria Mapston (hotel coordinator), J.G. Munoz (missed you!), Becky Benivamondez, Melba and Audrey Munoz, Eva Perry and Gus, Adrian and Jonathon Castro and I'm sure many many more that I can't think of at this moment. If you had a special memory from this past weekend I would love to see it in the comments! For those of you who were invested with us behind the scenes I really really appreciate your help. For those of you who came and enjoyed yourselves it was all worth it. Lulu has chosen Midland for our next reunion in 3 years and I wish her all the best. This will be her 4th so this is old hat for her! I will continue to update this website with family information as you guys pass it on to me and hopefully we can continue to keep up with each other on here and on our myspace page. The photographer that we hired will soon be linking all of the photos she took back to this website so be on the lookout or if you took one of her sheets you can go directly to her site. God Bless all of you!

Hey Everybody we're getting so close!!!

2009-06-22T22:04:00.001-07:00

We're putting all of the finishing touches on everything and hope to bring you a very fun reunion. We've gotten Proximo Sonido confirmed and we were able to renegotiate a great contract with the hotel even with our reduced numbers. I love this place, they have been so helpful and are going above and beyond to help us make this an enjoyable experience. The one thing that could make it go sour real quick is if you bring any fireworks. The city of Fort Worth is very strict with their enforcement and so is this hotel. They have told us that they will be forced to escort anyone off of the premises that is caught lighting fireworks. There should be plenty of fun available without bringing these to the hotel so please make sure your kids leave them at home. We don't want anybody's reunion being cut off early. Thanks again for all of your help and participation throughout this entire past year. We'll see you all very soon.

UPDATE

2009-06-11T18:09:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone,

This isn't the full update, everything is starting to happen faster than we can post to you. Many of you called us within the last few weeks wondering if we were still going to have the reunion since we did not meet our fund raising goals. We assured you that we would still have one but that there might be some changes which would need to be made. Here is a short list of where we are up to this point:

* We will be having the reunion in the same hotel - they have been very accommodating!

* We are managing to keep everything the same except you must now buy your own shirts

* Red, White, Blue, Green are the official family colors this year

* Please do not send any more money to Albert in Snyder - that account was closed

* Please do not put us in the position of turning anyone away at the door - we do not plan on collecting any money that day. The hotel has extended their deadline to us so if you know of anyone who has changed their mind and wants to come you will have to get the money to us next week in Dallas at the latest

Almost Time!!!

2009-06-07T20:38:00.000-07:00

Thank you to everyone who came out to the hotel on Saturday morning and helped put the finishing touches on our reunion. It's been a hectic weekend but I will post a full update within the next few days so please be on the lookout and be ready to touch base with your family and give them all the news! We're all very excited and hope you are too!

Frequently Asked Questions

2009-05-10T19:04:00.000-07:00

The following questions have come from enough people that we decided it might be best to post them for others who might be wondering the same thing:

1. Will our kids be able to bring friends to hang out with them for the day?

The short answer is yes. We would hope that everyone would take this opportunity to get aquainted with family members that you may not be aware of and make new friends. The $50 fee will still apply to anyone attending (free under 10 only applies to child of a paying parent)

2. How many guests can we bring and when do we need to send in their money?

As many as you like as long as they each pay $50. We need the money ASAP

3. Could we have friends just join us for the dance that evening and not pay the fee?

There have been a lot of variations on this question but the standard is set in order to be fair to everyone who has paid. In order to keep confusion to a minimum the only people who will be allowed in our part of the Hotel will have to have their wristband ID's on. You will only receive these if you have paid your fees.

4. Why was there a 4-15-09 deadline? I was thinking of just paying at the door.

This might initially sound harsh but we will not be collecting any funds at the door. Several of us have been working tirelessly for the last year to bring you an efficiently organized reunion. A lot of work has gone into this planning and by the time July 4th comes around we want to enjoy the fruits of our hard work. Mainly in getting to visit with you. The money that is needed has to be spent before the reunion even starts. As much as we want to see you if you have not pre-paid or made arrangements with Albert it is too late for you to attend this reunion.

Thank you Ray Garcia for forwarding this picture to us. This was Margarito, Antonio, Valeriana and Anastacia's mother. Her husband Ramon DeLoera died in Mexico and I'm not sure if anyone has a picture of him but if they do please share it with us.

April 15th Deadline - Clock's ticking

2009-03-09T18:19:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone, just a quick note to update you on our funds. I put up the thermometer so that everyone could see where we were with our numbers. I appreciate everybody who has been able to send in their money early. I understand that everyone will not be able to do this so I urge you to send in a note to Albert and set up a payment plan. Mary Thomas has been getting some checks sent to her and in order to guarantee that you get credit for your payment it needs to be sent directly to Albert (Please follow the instructions on this blog and on your newsletter) We will be having our next committee meeting sometime after our April 15th deadline to go over any changes in our total person count. Our goal is to not have to collect any monies at the reunion so that we have more time to enjoy it. So if you haven't sent your payment or a note requesting a payment plan then you won't be counted so please get back to us as soon as possible.

Thank you for all your support

Chris Thomas

Our Family in the Armed Forces

2009-01-31T17:44:00.000-08:00

Considering the fact that we are having our family reunion on the 4th of July I wanted to take a moment and honor those family members that are currently serving in our armed forces. I know there are a lot more of you out there but these are the ones that I know of. I don't want to leave anyone out so if you know of anyone that is missing please leave me a comment and I'll update this blog. If you could also include their rank and military branch I will include that as well

Megan DeLoera's Semester at Sea

2009-01-25T20:27:00.000-08:00

Megan is Abel DeLoera's daughter (Felipe's granddaughter and Margarito's great granddaughter). I wanted to pass along a note that Abel sent us.

"just wanted to let you know that my daughter Megan who is a Sophmore at Texas Tech is on a Semester At Sea voyage that will take her around the world on a cruise ship designed for college students to spend a school semester studying abroad. If you have time check out her blog and then email her when you get a chance. She wants to hear from people back home. It makes her feel better when she gets email.

Loraine Meeting notes

2009-01-25T19:51:00.000-08:00

Margarito DeLoera's eldest daughter turned 88 today! We had a 2 part mini reunion in Loraine yesterday to celebrate Paula DeLoera Munoz's birthday and to meet about our upcoming summer reunion. 131 people in all showed up to help celebrate in the evening. John Pantoja, Jesse Barrera and Jesse Limones kept the music going into the early hours.

It's always amazing to see how many people can come together within a couple of weeks notice. With almost 9 months under our belts planning this next reunion we are well on our way and hope everyone is as excited as we are. We discussed the following: making sure people that are interested are filling out their talent show submission forms, Jennifer Munoz is in charge of games and will need some help - please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions for her, we will need to get some prizes together, Albert's daughter Morgan is going to be our official photographer during the reunion (she will take candid as well as posed family pictures).

At this point all family members have been notified (there were only 4 newsletters returned due to a bad address) At our meeting it was discussed and we voted to have the week of April 15th as a hard money deadline. There will be exceptions and you may make payments over the next few months if that helps. Please continue to send all money to DFR09 c/o Albert DeLoera Treasurer and mail them to 1400 25th St. Snyder, TX 79549. We have a goal set for us and need to have collected at least 75% of the total fees needed by that week. We will then meet after that to determine if any changes need to be made. Just to let you know what that's about - commitments have been made by us based on the numbers we estimated would attend. If those numbers aren't as great as we thought the hotel for instance would have to order less food and staff for the weekend. At no point do we feel we would have to change locations. We would still be welcomed at this hotel. See you in July!

One of our many talented family members!

2009-01-25T19:39:00.001-08:00

'This long forgotten picture is courtesy of Jesse & Mona DeLoera. His parents are Antonio & Gumecinda DeLoera. This picture probably came from Antonio's vast collection of pictures.'

Meeting Cancelled-New One Scheduled!

2009-01-09T18:15:00.000-08:00

We recently mailed out the newsletter to bring you up to date with our plans. In it we have requested that you return the information sheets back to us and I want to personally thank those of you who have already done so.

Thanksgiving

2008-11-26T14:37:00.001-08:00

It seems that the more conveniences there our in our lives the more hectic life becomes. It's nice to take this holiday to slow down and remember how important family is. Enjoy your visits and remember those who can't be with you. Drive Safe!

The new Dallas Cowboys Stadium

2008-11-22T10:24:00.001-08:00

For those of you who are Cowboy fans I thought I'd show you how the new stadium is coming along. It's hard to describe how enormous this building is but once it's complete it will be the largest enclosed stadium in the NFL. With its roof closed the Statue of Liberty and its base would actually fit inside! It's just a short drive into Arlington and there is lots to do there including Six Flags over Texas and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor

The heart of Old Fort Worth

2008-11-18T06:15:00.000-08:00

This area has a little something for everyone. It was new back in 1889 and was the last stop on the cattle trail before heading across the Red River and into Indian Territory. There are historic hotels (one of which Bonnie & Clyde stayed at while hiding from the law) restaurants, bars and museums. There is also an authentic old train you can ride and it will take you over into Grapevine, Tx. Check it out at www.fortworthstockyards.org

Billy Bob's Texas - World's largest Honky Tonk

2008-11-17T16:58:00.000-08:00

I know some of you may be planning some vacation time around your reunion trip so I will begin posting some interesting things to do in and around the Fort Worth area. For those of you who are country western fans you probably already know about this place. For the rest of you it's 3 acres of indoor bars and dance floors and hosts some of the biggest names in the business. This is about 15 minutes south of our hotel just north of downtown Fort Worth in an area known as the Stockyards

We will be having our next committee meeting in Abilene Texas on January 17th 2009 at this steakhouse. I worked here when I was in highschool and it's got some great memories. I don't spend too much time in Abilene anymore so I'm really looking forward to it. Check out their website www.townecriersteakhouse.com and come on out if you can make it!

Hello Everybody!

Good news, we're updating the website. We will still be using MySpace for those of you who want to continue using that. It is a great way to keep in touch with our very large family. However in order to make this a little easier we will be posting all of our updated blogs on this page. Thank you for continuing to give us your feedback.
