2023 Registration Costs

Abruzzo Family Reunion 2023 Contribution

At the 2012 reunion, we asked for contributions to pay for the various charges that the reunion would be responsible for.  This included rentals of chairs, cleanup crews, etc.  People were very generous and when the reunion was finished, and all expenses paid, 1000 Euros was sent to each of the villages

In 2023, there will be a one time contribution of 40 Euros, per person, paid  on the day you arrive at the reunion.  Attendance for Children under 12 will be free, but they will receive a name tag etc. as everyone else.

Tony Luciani, a well known Canadian painter, has generously donated two prints of pictures he has painted of Abruzzo (see details here).  Everyone who registers will receive a ticket for a draw of one of these prints.  The more tickets you buy the more chances of winning one of these pictures … and consider it a donation to the 4 towns who are hosting us.

There will be a designated registration table, probably in the piazza in Villa and for late comers we will take registration as the days go.

Remember, any money not used will be divided amongst the 4 villages at the reunion’s end.

The organizers and volunteers for this Abruzzo Family Reunion 2023 will not receive any remuneration.

The Abruzzo Family Reunion 2023 Facebook page and this website will have an accounting of monies spent and donated.

The reasons for the contribution route in 2023 are the same as in 2012.

1. It was decided right at the beginning of our plans that we want to give something back to the villages after we leave, something that we can give to each of the four villages to remember this event.
2. There may be costs involved but we have not been able to pin down the exact amounts nor have we been able to be completely sure of the numbers of people attending.
3. It has been requested by several Abruzzo descendants that even though they cannot make this trip they would like to donate some money to the events of that weekend. Let me know by email.
