• July 2010 The Elia Family reunion was a wonderful event this year thanks to Jason Majewski for organizing it. Onanda Park was a perfect place to enjoy the day. There were about 80 members present. While we missed all of you who could not be there, those that could come enjoyed the food, reminiscing and watching the youngsters have fun with each other. It was a chance for us to connect with family we don't see often.
