Thanks Joann for hooking me up with more Perrett Relatives!

April 1, 2011

Sometimes you get on a roll and the world opens up.  Joann Palileo who was born in the Philippines (one of OUR PERRETT relatives) and lives in the states, sent a friend suggestion to some of the relatives she knows there still.  I heard from Alena Gale Palileo Yabes first - and now she has friended me to even more.  I am so blessed.  If you are on FB, please friend me and her if you aren't already.

Alena lives in Maitum, Sarangani Province, the same province where Manny Pacquaio lives (boxing hero worldwide who is now their congressman).  Mae Perrett Palileo is her grandmother.  Mae had 5 children:
1.  Danny, 2.  Allan, 3. Edward, 4. Phillip and then our baby 5. Joann!!!

Alena's dad is Allan.  He married Erlinda Zita, commonly known as Ching.  They have four children:
1.  Alena who has two children Vincy 2, and Allan 1. 
2.  Eilleen "Yeye" who ha two daughters, Nicole 9 and Twyla, 5
3.  Zeejay who is an RN and is in the UK
4.  Francis who is 17 and still in college (civil engineering).

Alena is a lawyer who practices in Maitum and goes by "Gale" and her husband is a businessman. 

She also informed me that in their culture it is appropriate to affix a title to a name, relative or not, aunt, uncle, as long as they're older.  That cleared up how three other young people there have been referring to me as "aunt" !!!  Hey I love it, so I'll take it.

GET on FACEBOOK and friend us,,,,please!!!

July 17, 2010 Moon-Perrett Reunion

Time is tickin'  and the Moon-Perrett Reunion will be here before we know it.  I've heard from many out of town relatives who plan to attend.  Please pass the information on to all the relatives in "your neck of the woods" so that we don't miss anyone.  This promises to be a fun-packed day for all of us.   Don't forget your HUGE picnic basket filled with goodies and drinks.  We hope to make a day of it and those who want can visit the Snow Camp house, the cemetery where many of the Perretts are buried and then the Sword of Peace that night.  There is a restaurant at the Sword of Peace also - in case you are tired of picnic foods by nighttime. 

YOU GUYS ARE COMING HOME!!!!  WE'RE SO THANKFUL FOR FAMILY!

July will be here before you realize!

I plan to send a bulk email again after Easter - reminding everyone of the Snow Camp Reunion in Snow Camp on July 17, 2010. 

I have found badminton equipment as well as several other outdoor games for the younger set to enjoy while we oldies sit around and talk about the good old days!

The Sword of Peace schedule for 2010 is also out and I will attach that in case your family wants to view that.  There is also a restaurant at the Sword of Peace if you are tired of reunion food by that night. 

Life is good!
