Important Alger Family News

The family featured in the last "name your family" photo was Stephen Alger, his sister Sandra Alger Weiner, and his wife Louise Alger. I'm sure you all know that Stephen and Sandra are David Waldo Alger's children. Stephen and Louise reside in New Mexico. I think they enjoyed the 2008 Reunion.

Many traveled a great distance to attend the 2008 Reunion, however the current gas prices and economy made it very expensive. We all enjoyed ourselves yet there were mixed opinions on when and where the next reunion would be held. At this time, we are asking for anyone interested in volunteering for the next Reunion Committee to send an email to deealger@gmail.com

We would also like to know your reponse to the following questions:

1. Would you attend the next Reunion in 2009? In Utah or California?

2. Would you attend the next Reunion in 2010? In Utah or California?

Your answers to these questions will determine when and where the next reunion will be.

With that said, I want to thank the 2008 Reunion Committee (Colleen Alger, Matthew Alger, Ed Alger, Sandra Weiner, Sandra Haro, and Sharon Richmond) for their participation in the planning. The 2008 Reunion would not have been possible without Rick Dawson, Michelle Dawson Parmeter, Craig Alger, Sheri Alger Slaydon, Yvonne Alger Weiler, Corinne Alger, and my children Eric, Adam, Alan & Wendy Gallagher, and Jonathan & Joseph Lewis who always come through for me and help with any family event! Additionally, I want thank Merrial Alger and all of the Alger Descendents. Without all of you the Alger Family Reunions would not happen! Plus, we all know that the food at an Alger gathering can feed a small city for a week. And Oh what wonderful food it is! Thank you all for your participation, you are fantastic!
