Mozden Family Reunion August 13



Come to Three Rivers to celebrate the Mozdens 96th year in the US!!

See places of much family history. Meet relatives you have not seen for a long time. Have your children meet the extended family and learn our history.

Bring your scrapbooks; your tattered pictures; family recipes; your new family members.

We are especially seeking stories about the 10 Brothers and Sisters that we are all descendants from or directly linked to. How did they meet their spouses? What about the early years? What were they like as children? What about the stories of one helping another to go to college and medical school, nursing school? Put them on paper, post them here, bring them to the reunion to share.

Also, Cookie is working on a family picture tree. She needs pictures of each family: The Brothers and Sisters with their spouses and children; their children with their spouses and children, etc. Send the pictures to:
Stan Mozden
35 Cleveland Street
Saco, ME 04072

He will scan the pictures and return them to the owner. Cookie needs the pictures as soon as possible to have the time necessary to get the project finished for the reunion weekend.

Reunion Agenda:

  • 9:30 AM Mass for Mozden Family -- Sts Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Three Rivers
  • See the church where the Mozdens were members, all were baptized, made first communions, many got married, and then attended.
  • 10:30 AM Coffee and breakfast pastries at the Catholic School next door to the Church.
  • Tours of where the Brothers and Sisters and other Mozdens went to school. Some of the pictures on the walls will have our relatives in them.

  • 12:30 PM Lunch will be served. We have a cook who will present a variety of items, to include some traditional Polish dishes.
  • Story telling is to be a part of this event. Come with your family legends, remembered events, funny, tragic, success. We want them all. We will find a way to get them all out for everyone's enjoyment. (This is intended to be the beginning of a family history that will tell of one family's experience. Only you can tell your story! Fill in the blank pages.)
