2009 Thanksgiving Reunion

The Rivera clan met in Las Vegas, NV for Thanksgiving reunion. It was attended by families coming from Hawaii, Australia, California, Utah and Las Vegas. We had a very special attendee from the Philippines, Elena Tuano, our first cousin, who happened to be in Las Vegas and graciously accepted the invitation to join us (representing the Philippines).

Unable to come were Bert & Jojie (Houston, TX), Noel & Glo (San Diego, CA), Romy & Ellie (San Jose, CA), Lewis & Lily (San Jose, CA), Nellie (San Jose, CA).

Though the Rushes came late and unable to meet the others for Thanksgiving, Cherry & Greg met the Buncab and others at the Venetian Hotel where the parties were booked. The Rivera Hotel was fully booked by the Rivera, Smoot and Rush families with total occupancy of 15.
